    Is there any difference between American billionaires and Saudi trillionaires?

    At least we have the decency to be owned by a traditional billionaire.

    Villa beating Liverpool last night makes it unlikely that any of the B teams will get champions league by finishing 6th. (The extra place only happens if Villa finish 5th and win the Europa league. Because reasons.)

    If all the permutations, this was a thing I never understood. It led to one of the Bs needing to lose to Liverpool to get a CL place.

    Can anyone explain?

    As above, the sixth CL place only happens if Villa finish 5th and win the Europa league (the bonus place for 5th is reallocated, the usual 4 places aren't).

    Brentford are playing Liverpool on the last day.

    So if Brentford were guaranteed 6th and Liverpool needed a win to finish above Villa in 4th (pushing Villa down to the 5th), it would be in their interest to lose.

    But that scenario isnt now possible.

    So is 5th place a CL spot ? I'm confused.

    4 basic CL places. +1 for the two countries with the best results every year (almost guaranteed one of them will be England). +1 fur the Europa league winner (England last year and most likely this)

    So that's a yes. So there's still a half decent chance Bournemouth overtake Liverpool right? Especially if we roll over on the final day for them.... Wink wink

    At this stage Spuds relegated and the Scousers missing out on the CL is the only skin I have left in the game.

    Similar, except I'm keen Villa lose the EL final too.

    Depends if you are playing the long game. Would fuck them up the medium term.

    I wouldn't worry too much. They probably have to beat city on Tuesday to stand any chance. Even if they do that, they'd have to beat Vitor's unbeatable reds.

    Ref denies Palace a penalty for a blatant shirt pull. Whilst Sky are showing the replay Brentford equalise.
    What's that saying about all refs again?

    Feels wrong to be wanting West Ham to win, having spent the last few months hoping they'll lose
