I don't think Arsenal will finish fourth. They'll probably knick third. City will put all their efforts on champions league.

Still recovering from Liverpool game. What a game. Just hope emre can injury isn't serious.

We do nothing in the champions league anyways so it's a waste being in that competition. I apologise tee on my part for that silly thing on the other thread.

The thing is though is that if City win the Champions League & finish 5th & we win the Europa League then whoever finishes 4th will go into the Europa League instead , as a maximum of five teams can from one country can compete in the Champions League .

I thought it was maximum of four teams. Remember when Chelsea won champions league. Spurs didn't qualify despite finishing fourth.

It's all good.

I have some friends who are Arsenal fans. They're always creaming themselves qualifying for champions league. They're innit every year. And achieve little. Liverpool were two finals and a semi final during Rafa Benitez era

The premier League Will look very different with Villa's relegation after 28 years

it will be sad to see Villa go after such a long time, but in all honesty they are a pretty woeful team.

Villa have got what they deserved for an utterly shambolic number of seasons made up of shameful performances on and off the field. Sad to see an historically strong club literally torn apart by businessmen who know nothing about the game or seemingly care nothing about the tradition of our sport.

You have to wonder about the mindset there too. They've been losing for so long that it's become a routine. They need a total clear-out of players or they're falling straight through the Championship into League One this time next year. They look to have some decent football people on the board now with Bernstein and Little, but they now need the right manager who will insist on massive changes in the playing personnel. If they don't get them, the third tier of the pyramid awaits in 2017.
