Yes Spurs bottled 5th place being enough for a CL spot despite having zero say in it.

The absolute irony of the dog heads mocking our trophy drought - god was in short trousers the last time you lot did anything of note.

Good to know the OP is not obsessed with Spurs, myself and Whodunnit.

Faaack me you are thiiiiiiiick

Tbf Strikemug and Fridge 'were all over' the co efficent watch, making weird predictions for weeks and getting them all wrong looool.

So much 'knowledge' between the pair of them. Strike did an article titled 'Top 5 in the bag', yet here we are sweating about it still.

Where did I say it was?

It’s worth remembering that pre QF euro draws, OPTA stats had Englands chances of a 5th CL place at 92%

Liverpool schitt the bed, City drew the only side capable of beating them, dominated and still lost. West Ham got the hardest possible draw, Villa got the hardest draw at the time but still won and Arsenal were knocked out as expected.

Spurs are 2 wins from guaranteeing 5th and have the 2 worst sides in the league to play - it should be in the bag otherwise the manager has to go

Villa getting KOed and easily by a Greek team is shocking for a club lying 4th in the supposedly vastly superior Premier League

Agreed. How a club as poor as Spurs, led by an utter buffoon in Ange, displaying relegation form, is even in the conversation for Europe is mindboggling

Olympiacos managed by another manager from the excellent Basque stable.

Olympiacos conversion rate over the 2 legs was insane - they had less than half the shots Villa did over the 2 legs only to score 6 compared to Villa’s 2. El Kaabi scored 5 of the 6.

It happens. Douglas Luiz had a shocking tie as well - conceding 1 penalty and missing another.

For those that like to whack the Prem - it produced 2 of last years 3 euro winners. 60% of CL finalists in the last 5 years have been English, only Real Madrid can hold a candle to that.

What happened this year is Man United and Newcastle were atrocious.

I will happily bet with anyone and everyone on her that England secures an additional CL spot next season. You all like to try and belittle my predictions, let’s see if any of you have the cojones to actually take the bet - I am aware most will run and hide

Do Wolves have any chance of Euro qualification? Like what if every other club in England ceased to exist - would Wolves qualify then?

Valverde too ... they've got a fair history of hiring in Spain. There are also quite a lot of Spanish players in the Greek and Cypriot leagues.

I'm not sure what that has to do with the Basque manager topic I mentioned.

Mendilíbar, the bloke currently at Olympiacos, is the guy who took Sevilla when they were toying with relegation last season and sucker-punched United en route to them winning another Europa League title.

Alonso, Arteta, Emery, Iraola, Lopetegui, Valverde, Alguacil (Real Sociedad) and Mendilíbar all hail from a region of little over 2 million inhabitants.

It's pretty remarkable.

As for the PL providing most of the clubs in the closing rounds of European competitions, it makes perfect sense. It's by far the richest league. Just like it makes perfect sense for Madrid to make the closing rounds in Europe.

The surprise isn't all those PL sides getting far, if anything it's that they don't hoard a greater proportion of the trophies.

Apologies, was not directed at you.

On your point, the Prem plus Real Madrid do hoard the Champions league over the last 5 years - the prem winning 3 and Real 1, Bayern won the other.

It’s the Europa league where English clubs have massively underperformed, including Liverpool this season. My theory is that the big 6 Prem clubs do. It take it anywhere near as serious as our European counterparts and that’s what costs us more than anything else. Different comp, but Lille and Olympiacos had their games between European legs postponed to try and help them - the Prem will never do that.
