You can have up to 5 teams in the CL now, 4 automatic for Spain, England and Germany +1 for the Europa winner.

You go in at the minimum of the playoff level (I got confused the other day and thought it was auto group stage and the top pot, that's reserved for the 7 top league winners plus UCL winner).

If United won the Euro and City/Arse/Leicester won the UCL, and both winners finished out of the top 4, whoever gets 4th would only get Europa League next year.

If City/Arse win the UCL and United with the Euro, and both are in the top 4, then United get bumped straight to the group stage. I think.

EDIT: oh now I read on sky that winning Euro is guaranteed group. I don;t know anymore lol.

Okay, that makes it a bit clearer. As the other poster said, 4 automatic and +1 for the EL. However, as you stated, if an English team won the CL (lol) AND finished outwith the top 4, AND United won the EL, it could nuke position 4 in the league to Europa only.

Basically, very unlikely so the top 4 spots will get CL football. United might win the EL, but no English club is winning the CL.

My club lost today with a goal which was over the line 1MM, I love the hawk eye. Shame we cannot be champions now

 

[Beefy]

Wonder who Sky want to win...

 

[DBT85]

For those not watching

 

[Audioboxer]

Ibra to score within 20 mins! The guys determination to get another trophy will be the tipping point for sure. I agree Southampton will get a goal, so I'll go for 2-1 or 3-1.

It's a cup final though, so nerves might destroy one or two United players. I have a feeling Smalling is going to fluff something up. Or if Southampton can wind up Rojo into a trademark two-footed tackle, things could get interesting.

 

[Humidex]

Yoshida? Oh dear.

 

[Beefy]

Yoshida? Oh dear.

Been one of out best players this season. Still makes at least one mistake a game though...

I hope Liverpool chase those snakes right out of their house.

On Monday? Guarantee Leicester suddenly start playing and manage a draw or win.

It's probably one of the few times I have rooted for Liverpool though. Hope they destroy them. Raineri should have at least gotten a chance for this big game.

 

[T-Rex.]

Good luck Southampton!

Yeah, I've never rooted for Liverpool to obliterate a team, in fact I don't think I've ever cheered them on. But tomorrow, I'll be watching to see the Foxes get destroyed. I want to see some classic Klopp antics lol

Am I the only person watching this United game? Jesus, Rojo is damn idiot.

 

[Beefy]

That wasn't even offside!!

 

[T-Rex.]

Really good start by Southampton. And of course it's not offside lol.

 

[D4Danger]

robbed already

 

[Heshinsi]

Rojo is absolute garbage.

 

[Nova Prime]

League or cup, the officiating in England stays bad

 

[DBT85]

Are people actually thinking that another player running into the 6 yard box 2 yards away doesn't constitute offside just because he didn't touch it?

Like, if he's 10 yards away yeah.

 

[Jarnet87]

Wrong call there, maybe the linesman was thrown off by Bertrand. Rojo at LB is always a crap shoot.

Wasn't interfering with play.

You can't claim he was interfering because nobody is looking at him. He's behind the play. Had he touched the ball then yes.

 

[DBT85]

I disagree. But there we go.

Go Zlatan.

 

[Beefy]

I disagree. But there we go.

Go Zlatan.

Only person that does. A bad call costs us the game it looks. Glad video tech is coming into play soon.

 

[Heshinsi]

IBRA!!!!

 

[T-Rex.]

Forster should be saving that.

 

[Ken Adams]

fuck yeah. IBRA

 

[Lashley]

Awful call from the linesman

 

[Beefy]

Neville is fucking annoying. Why have a United fan doing the commentry?

 

[DBT85]

I imagine it was decided some time ago for him to do the final no matter who was there. He's one of their regulars.

 

[Heshinsi]

Hehehe. It's beautiful. People complain about Martin Tyler as well.

 

[Jarnet87]

Need another midfielder on at halftime, way too much space afforded.

 

[DBT85]

Rojo getting skinned alive.

 

[Beefy]

Hehehe. It's beautiful. People complain about Martin Tyler as well.

I don't mind Tyler, just Neville is way too biased. We are the better team atm.

 

[Heshinsi]

I don't mind Tyler, just Neville is way too biased. We are the better team atm.

You guys are absolutely, no question about that.

 

[T-Rex.]

I don't mind Tyler, just Neville is way too biased. We are the better team atm.

It's the opposite for me tbh. I think Neville's alright, and you can't really blame him for being biased towards Utd at times due to his past. Tyler is just embarrassing.

 

[DBT85]

Jesse at Wembley again.

 

[Beefy]

All over, Forster is so slow. gg Utdgaf

 

[Heshinsi]

We needed that.

 

[D4Danger]

oh well. Would've been a decent game if Saints weren't cheated. Man Utd can just keep sitting back and pick them off.

 

[DBT85]

Bad clip, awful challenge. Not as bad on replay. At least it wasn't high.

I thought the harassing the ref was supposed to stop? Refs not holding up their end again?

 

[Ken Adams]

Lmao of all people had to be him

 

[panty]

Oh look chokeletico

 

[D4Danger]

What the fuck is Neville even talking about. Leg breaker? What a twat.

 

[Heshinsi]

Just missed it. Why was Lingard booked?

 

[CrayToes]

Was hoping Soton would at least give Utd a game. It's all over already.

 

[DBT85]

Rojo needs to come off.

Just missed it. Why was Lingard booked?

Pro foul. deliberately clipped a player. Petulant too.

 

[Heshinsi]

A pylon has more defensive finesse than Marco Rojo. Is he trying to give a penalty away. That's third time he's done that.

^ What an idiot.

Yup rojo is the weakest link so far.

 

[DBT85]

fml

 

[Scousefury]

Game on now

 

[T-Rex.]

Maybe it's not over. That's been coming all half lol; Rojo is shite.
