Another twist in the tale for UCL qualification after last nights results (Well done Villa, fully deserved).

If Villa finish fifth in the Premier League, Unai Emery's side will qualify for the Champions League as the Europa League winners.

The extra Champions League place that the Premier League earned through the European Performance Spot would then go to the team finishing sixth.

Villa would finish fifth in they lost at Manchester City and Liverpool won at home to Brentford.

Should that happen, the Champions League qualification focus then turns to sixth spot.

If Bournemouth avoid defeat at Nottingham Forest, or Brighton fail to win at home to Manchester United, the Cherries would finish sixth.

Should Bournemouth lose and Brighton win, it would then be the Seagulls who claimed sixth spot.

Up the Villa...
Men v Boys. Great game, cracking goals.
Nice to see a team win something by playing football rather than using underhanded methods.

Well done Villa, great manager, totally took them apart 2nd half.

I see Southampton lost their appeal even though they hired the City lawyer....go figure!

How about this for last day possible drama...

"Liverpool might have to play in a PLAYOFF for Champions League football Ÿ¤¯

If Bournemouth win 5--0 vs Forest & Liverpool lose 1--0 vs Brentford, they would be level on:

- Points -- 59
- Goal Difference -- +9
- Goals Scored -- 62
- Head-to-Head -- 1 win each
- H2H Away Goals -- 2 each

Literally nothing separates them... a playoff will be required."


Bournemouth have already beaten (an admittedly different) Forest 5-0 already this season !

That was said in jest. I'm not taking anything for granted.
But thank you for your opinion.
Feel free to join the others and congratulate my team

Dream on.
You won't win it next year. You won't be allowed to do what you did this year. They won't change the rules, just the interpretation of them.

They wanted Arsenal to win it, that's why they were allowed to get away with what they did.

Agree. and they wont be winning anything without a decent striker

Was discussing it with a mate the other day, Wright, Bergkamp, Henry and Robin VP. Since then, no one close since

It's the EFL, not the Premier League that made that decision, make of that as you will.

Well done to Arsenal, City were poor last night.

Comes to something when you are relying on Bournemouth loosing so you don't have to get a win on the final day for the last CL spot.

The battle for 5th and who gets relegated are the main talking points on the final day.
