Only 5 teams from one country can enter the champions league, so 4th place would miss out if City and Liverpool won their respective European trophies and neither qualified in top four of EPL.

And good news if you're a fan of the Premier league is that because of the poor performance of Italian teams in Europe this season, the co-efficient has meant that 4 English clubs will continue to qualify for the Champion's league for next 2 years.

Yes they did, they just failed to make it out of the qualifying round.


Hahahahahahahaha!

The year Liverpool won it UEFA made a special exception to allow Liverpool to defend the title even though they'd finished 5th. I think it was a one off.

Some interesting fixtures this Saturday. Arsenal visit Everton who, though brittle at the back should be on a high after FA cup victory over Chelsea.

I don't think Arsenal can afford to drop any points in this one.

Leicester face a tricky tie at Palace, the only team in England who have not won a league match this year, so I believe. I think that could change as they are also on a high after FA cup victory.

Tottenham face an inform Bournemouth.

An interesting stat:

Leicester gained 20 points from the teams they play in their remaining fixtures.

Spurs gained 10 from the teams they have to play in the run in.

I think Palace are due a win. Having said that the number of times I've predicted a Leicester loss this season hasn't helped my Predictor scores one iota but I've gone 2-1 Palace. Probably the kiss of death for them.


Spurs have by far the tougher run in and being five points behind Leicester is a very tough ask. Obviously I want Spurs to win the title but if Leicester do pull it off it will surely go down in history as one of the greatest achievements in football league history.

That match was a tribute to the influence of Victor Wanyama who came on at half time. Apparently Liverpool were controlling the midfield first half.

      Water leak - Dunstans Road

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?

      Street trees: when is it time to call time ?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.

      Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk

      Lost: Brickhouse tote with art supplies

      I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
