Do we get 5th place then is it an annual coefficient battle between us and the Bundesliga or something?

Every league really.

I think it's the top 2 leagues get the extra place so that's pretty assured this time around.

Italy seeing Juventus, AC Milan and Atalanta all go out does for them.

To be honest we’re only a couple of shit results away from top 4 becoming an issue anyway.

When this was initially pointed out, I thought it could never happen. But I guess I've got to review that now.... wow, I really do wonder how some people sleep at night

Nobody knows for sure but I still maintain it won't be until after the March international break.

Imagine we bring him in and Tuchel drafts him in.

Fuck yes, that's exactly what would happen. And he's definitely getting injured on international duty, that's a club tradition.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

That's not happening either tbh.

Even if we drew all remaining 11 games then that'd give a points total enough for fifth and that'll probably be Champions League anyway.

So we've got 11 games to get 11 points....I don't know why, but that still doesn't reassure me.

[Niall_Quinn]

Martinelli should be more likely before the internationals given his injury wasn't as severe.

But again, maybe not in case he gets called to Brazil.

Yeah, but if he gets 1 minute in his first match back, 2 minutes in his next, and so on, not sure how much he can do for us. Especially playing through the centre with Calafiori and Merino. And all our other players, including Raya.

OMG, Eleven nil-nils? Kill me now!

Look at Burnley's results in the Championship.

It's a minute more than Sterling tbh.

Do I have to?

[KSE Comedy Club]

It's Zinchenko time!!!

That's Arteta's new 'bang your head against the wall' tactic.
He'll do it till the end of the season now just to see if it works - even though we all know the answer is NO
