You were correct up to that point but then instead of adding 1 place for Man City winning the League Cup for some reason you went from 5th to 7th! If Chelsea win the FA Cup the Europa League place will go to 7th in the league - which wont be our never traveled neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I really am confused So city’s league cup place goes to 6th If Chelsea win the FA cup that goes to 7th What happens if Man Utd or wolves win the Europa league?

Neither Arsenal or Burnley overtake them in the league Arsenal not to win FA Cup Wolves to win Europa (or Man Utd if they finish outside top 4) None of this will get the in mate, their goose is well and truly cooked I'm afraid.

Something like this https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12017243/champions-league-and-europa-league-qualification-who-can-make-it Takes a bit of reading but all you need to do is read the bit which says, But Thursday's defeat at Leicester was followed by another in Monday's must-win clash at home to Everton, as the Blades' hopes of qualifying for Europe for the first time in their history came to an end. Sheffield United are still in with a slim chance of finishing seventh, but if Wolves beat Crystal Palace on Monday the Blades will not be able to finish any higher than their current position, just outside the European places. Game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a shame they've conceded about half as many! Remember how bad we were in front of goal that season, De Bilde as the main man was abysmal. Just goes to show how they have been reliant on their defence and Man Utd's goalkeeper. Comes to something if their fans have only seen their team score on average 1 goal per game for the entire season and yet some think it is their best season ever. Can't have been that exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Their best season ever? I suppose by modern day standards it is, but still. I suppose when you are in the Prem in 2020 the hype machine goes a bit into overdrive. I've read a few articles and some pundits declaring them as the greatest promoted side of all time...which is flipping hilarious when you actually sit down and think about it. They're not even the greatest promoted side of the Premier League era, let alone of all time...but then we are in 2020, so every opinion has to be some form of extreme. They're a good side, workmanlike, very well organised and have flashes of quality. And yes, I would love for us to be in their position, but we are not so tough titties...but I would question what they can realistically hope to achieve in the next few seasons, outside of doing a Stoke/West Brom/Bournemouth. Can they really kick on and get to that next level? I can't think they'll have many better opportunities than this one to get European football.

SiJ Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Anyway, I strongly suspect those last two post-match interviews were not overly subtle ways of him trying to push pressure on the club hierarchy. Against Leicester they were a bunch of League One/Championship players and tonight they have massively overachieved and the club needs to catch up or something. He's done similar before. Wouldn't surprise me if he signs another brand new deal in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant' believe that has been said although as you say everything in the modern day has to be about hyping up the here and now and the past is a forgotten inferior place. Ipswich Town finished 5th in their first season in the top flight in 2001 and qualified for Europe. They got relegated in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when a newly promoted side from Sheffield was still in contention for winning the top flight with two games to go. They finished 3rd having amassed 75 points. That was 1 season before the Premier League brought to us by Sky started though so probably doesn't count as it is from an era that simply didn't exist in football terms.
