I thought 4th was guaranteed CL for next season, just not the season after next.

They were talking about it a game or two ago. Sounded like they meant next year.

Hope not, because I'm not sure City holds off Arsenal.

My cat could hold off Arsenal right now.

City actually have four games left after their horrendous draw with Newcastle. 12 points back and all but dead in the water for the title. Arsenal is one point behind City for third but with a game in hand. And fourth place in the Premiere League isn't necessarily a guarantee for Champions League next season.

The scenario for 4th place not making CL is this...if Man City wins Champions League but is not in top 4, and Liverpool wins Europa League but is not in top 4, then the 4th place BPL team would NOT be in CL. Winner of Champions League and Europa League get entry in CL and one nation can only have 5 entrants in CL.

My understanding is that due to English teams cumulative performance in Europe compared to Italian sides this year, the BPL will keep their 4 guaranteed spots for the next few years, but the above is the immediate scenario.

I'm a learning Tottenham fan...apparently it is in the fan manual that you have to look for every way possible that a Champions League spot can be taken out from under you. :alien:
 
Thanks for dropping the knowledge Donne!

It was a bad tackle. Let's be honest, Everton is mind of screwed over in general.

Funny looking back on it. When Moyes was sacked at ManUre, there were some THPers saying Roberto Martinez was the man for the job, because "he was a builder."

Wayne fricken Rooney. What hustle.
 
Really good action in this one already.
 
Really iffy call on the penalty, but what a save by De Gea.
 
MARTIAL!!!!!!!!!!
 
Regardless of what happens today against Sunderland, #WengerOut
 
Olivier Giroud is an anchor. I mean that in a bad way.
 
Welp, Arsenal is gross.

Walcott, useless
Giroud, useless
Ramsey, useless
Wenger, useless

Arsenal isn't worth it. They're completely boring and a drain on my energy.

I'm sorry to everybody who watched that game.
 
As a City fan I was excited to watch Sunderland hold on a get a point from the game with Arsenal. Keeps City in 3rd for now.
On a different note, I thought Yedlin played well.

Well Arsenal did what they needed to do for City.

Meanwhile, Leicester is clinching a non title for Man City.
 
Leicester just continues to do what they need to. This team was in the 3rd tier English league only a few years ago. Pretty improbable, and impressive run.
