Is it possible I’ll be watching fucking Utd on the final day of the season instead of us hoping that they win ![]()
Yeah that’s my feeling.
In fairness, the cognitive dissonance of the United fans could be fun.
I really hope Brighton and Bournemouth bugger up before and then I’ll just stick it on Flash score and go for a walk.
What if Villa win the Europa League?
The first thing to remember is that the Europa League winners qualify for the Champions League.
If Villa win the Europa League and finish in the top four, then nothing changes in terms of England’s European spots. There would still be five teams in the Champions League, and eight in Europe.
The place in the Champions League reserved for the Europa League titleholders would pass to the team in qualifying with the best Uefa coefficient.
As it stands, that could be Portugal’s Sporting Lisbon.
If Villa finish outside the top four, the Premier League will have six teams in the Champions League:
- The top four
- Villa as Europa League winners
- The EPS
Villa’s precise final position would decide the Premier League’s total European allocation.
If they finish fifth, the EPS passes to the Premier League’s sixth-placed team.
And as we will know if Villa have won the Europa League ahead of the final day, it could present a titanic battle to finish in sixth.
Right now, Villa sit in fourth but, if on the final day they lose at Manchester City, and Liverpool win at home to Brentford, then the Villans will finish fifth.
And that could potentially put sixth into the Champions League.
Hello our good friends at Manchester United Football Club. It’s ok not to win today but remember we might need you next week against Brighton.
Thanks in advance

They’re on the beach
What a shot by Shaw. Reminiscent of that fabulous finish by Thiago in the CL! The ball just skimmed in!
Man Utd apparently allowed to play basketball.
Yeah, that’s a bizarre decision.
Was thinking Anderson wasn’t having a great game, then he produced that goal out of nothing and before I could post that Utd took the lead again. It took longer for VAR to review the goal than it took for Utd to retake the lead.
Well, it seems PGMOL is gonna issue an apology to NFO this week…
Absolutely deporable decision. Is the ref from somewhere in Greater Manchester?
Let’s go Leeds
What a ducking set of events…actively wanting Leeds, Utd and city to win games in t(e run in to save our bacon
I’m with you Bruv.
Aston Villa could do favour to all the teams likely to finish 6th by losing their last game and finish 5th and if Brentford is the team finishing 6th then it will be in their interest to lose to Liverpool. What are the odds of that scenario happening zero.
Us managing to somehow lose while Brentford are actively trying to help us win will be a hilarious final game of the season.
Palace 2-1 up at Brentford. Wharton’s first ever goal for them.
Absolutely no idea what this is about.
Time hands too much methinks.
Sunderland 2-1 up at Everton and I can’t even laugh at them.
