Seventh Place

Nil Seventh Nisi Optimum you mean?


Honestly, the level of Latin on here is shocking.

Going almost totally off thread here.

My local pub in Lincolnshire is home to a team of Morris dancers and their motto is:

Si non ferrule possuit copule!

I dare not translate but it could soon apply to the relationship between club and supporters.

Let's just say we finish 7th and qualify for the qualifiers of the Europa League. I think it may not necessarily be a bad thing if organised right.

The season will start in July and this gives a chance for some players who aren't around the first team to kick on.

Depending if they're still here and I know some aren't very good but:

Bolasie
McCarthy
Besic
Mirallas
Baines
Dowell
JJK
Schneiderlin
Holgate
Tosun

Could all help in the early rounds of the Europa whilst still having a proper pre-season.

I agree with the sentiment that it can be detrimental to the league campaign but it's European football and I doubt very much we'll win it but surely we can get through the group stage and have something to look forward to rather than a disappointing league campaign again.

We'll naturally go out the league cup early, that's always a given. The FA Cup doesn't start til Jan so some midweek football would be good.

Let's just go for it. Its a better distraction than watching this title race for a start.

Do well to finish top 10 never mind 7th. Don't see us winning many more home games with whats left and we are dire away

Can see Palace climbing up the league after the deadline day business they did but I still think we have enough for 7th or 8th.

I'd take Zaha from them in the summer. I admire him greatly.

Wolves nailed on for seventh

I think you're right, they just have more about them and can string consistent wins, another coming tomorrow for them.

So clearly 7th is doable.

For that to mean EL qualification, the following needs to happen...

Man City win the FA Cup
Winners (if English) of the CL have to also finish in the top 4 of the PL

That right?

Is Arsenal winning the EL or Man U finishing 5th and winning the CL not important? Thought that affected it too?

You would think so , if Arsenal finish in a Europa league spot but win this year's they would go in next year's ECL .
