So Where The Heck Does That Leave Us?

I’m so confused!

Manchester City, Manchester United and the 3rd placed team in the Premier League will enter the Champions League in the group stage* next season.

  • The 5th placed team in the Premier League will enter the Europa League in the play-off round next season.
  •  Liverpool will enter the Europa League in the 3rd qualifying round next season.

  • The 4th placed team in the Premier League will enter the Champions League in the play-off round next season.

  • Chelsea will enter the Champions’ League in the group stage next season.
  • The 4th placed team in the Premier League will take Chelsea’s FA Cup European qualifying spot and will enter the Europa League next season. 

However it’s not yet clear whether they will take the same spot in UEFA’s Access List and start in the Group Stage or whether this honour will pass to the domestic Cup winner of another country and whether the 4th placed team have to start in the play-off round instead. UEFA will confirm this were this scenario to happen.

  • The 3rd placed team in the Premier League will enter the Champions League in the group stage* next season.

* It is not yet fully established whether 3rd place will secure a group stage seeding or have to play a qualifying round, should Chelsea win the Champions League.

    You lot make me laugh, Harry Redknapp has brought in players and restructured your team to become the most competitive Spurs team in years, yet because you don’t finish above Arsenal you call for his head…wtf!

    Compare that to an Arsenal Squad who, since 2004 have season after season become weaker and been unable to hold onto our best players…it’s Arsenal fans that have more of a right to bitch about our manager.

    You lot are jokers, you really are.

    • jfdit says:

      we see the real world unlike you tossers, you’re a one man team who now know the world is round and everything is wonderful under uncle arsene, your still miles behind the top 2 and if RVP goes you’ll be in big trouble

      you forget the facts, that you only got third because of our incompetent manager having his head up his arse since february and the fact some corrupt hungarian goalie decided to gift you three goals this afternoon

      • COYG says:

        One man team…Henry…one man team…Fabregas…now a one man team with RvP…and yet we still finish above Spurs.

    • Spursman says:

      Sadly I have to agree with the gooner. Far too much expectancy on us to be finishing in the top 4 when we don’t have the funds to pay top wages. A lot of knobheads on here wanting Redknapp out and probably think we can land Mourinho or Guardiola to replace him.

      • Smog says:

        Its not about funds mate its about the quality of the playing squad compared to rival teams, 3rd was an absolute minimum with that squad. Money for wages affects who we can buy, it doesnt have any effect on knobish tactics, lack of squad rotation or using the players at our disposal to their full potential

        • Phil McAvity says:

          Bollocks, NO-ONE was saying 3rd at the beginning of the season, it’s only since we went on our good run that people started mentioning how good our squad was.

          Like I’ve said before a PL season is 38 games and too many Spurs fans started getting all ‘Billy Big Bollocks’ way before that. At the start of the season we’d have all taken 4th.

          Every team goes through a shit patch, it happens every season but it just so happens that Arsenal and the Chavs had theirs early whilst we had ours late so all this 10 points bollocks is starting to wear thin. What is 10 points exactly? 3 wins and a draw!! Not exactly a lot is it!

      • jfdit says:

        10 point lead and just scraped into top 4 on last day of the season but still strong possibility of ropey league on thursday nights

        best spurs team in two generations still can’t get above worst arse team in two generations despite them blowing up at the season’s end, tactically inept manager who has won 1 trophy in 30 years of management.

        I wonder if you’ll think ‘arry so magic next saturday night, personally I can’t wait for him to f*ck right off

        • Phil McAvity says:

          I was having a chat\row with a Gooner at work about this. Arsenal always finish 3rd or 4th, this season they finished 3rd so how is that any worse than any other season recently?? This ‘worst Arsenal Team’ is all bollocks made up by Goons to try and wind us up!

          Also what’s all this ‘Arry magic you are on about? Lets not kid ourselves, he is not the best manager in the world but he is also not the worst. No-one on here thinks the sun shines out of his arse, some of us just feel that the grass isn’t always greener (Ramos).

      gooners are footballs flat earthers

    • Frontwheel 2 says:

      Fuck off you fulop.

    • CB says:

      Good comment, well put. I’m a Spurs fan and the drivel about HR no matter what the result is the same.

      You could come up with a headline of “What great to cokk” and the first numpty would put “HR is *unt” mindless fools.

      He’s the only manager to have got us 4th twice.

      Honestly .. its boring

  • David says:

    Some Harry issues
    1) Why buy and not play Piennar?
    2) Why not use Defoe in some of these narrow losses?–He is actually a striker who snaps up half chances
    3) Why buy Saha and not give youth a chance?

    He has his strenths but his lack of tactical awareness has cost us points.

    • DesertSpur says:

      He’s also possibly cost us a bucketload of CL cash, and heightened a summer of speculation – how many more ‘me no like chicken badge’ episodes might we see?

    • Top Tottys says:

      Why the phuk did this halfwitted fuckbrain manager of ours even buy that useless cuzt Loois Haha when we had Defoe not gettin game time?? Taxi for the ginger cuzt as soon as ffs!!! 10 point lead over Woolwich Wanderers gone up in smoke and now we have to put up with the mongol chicken fukkers on here thinking theyre funny. Unless we get into the CL next year and win it or the PL, I dont think I will ever forgive the ginger fuckbrain for fuckin up this season!!!

  • Bert Simpkins says:

    I suppose that in order to feel good about coming 4th, we need to sync into the harry Redknapp school of psychology. Just imagine that we were bottom at xmas and we worked our way up to fourth.

    Feel better already?

  • TheJoker says:

    Happy St Totteringham’s Day to you all!
    Your BEST ever prem season – and out WORST – and you’re still looking up! Won more games and Scored more goals!

    However, don’t believe we want Chavsea to win the Champions League! Absolutely not! So welcome back to the Champions League and here’s to an epic Q/F meeting next season!

    Now back to the gloat… To all those Spuddies who mercilessly taunted us for the majority of the season – heed the words of The joker… He who Laughs Last Laughs Loudest!

    Have a Happy Summer!

    • Steveo1987 says:

      Yawn.. :gaehn:

    • onedavemackay says:

      Fair enough. You consistently finish above us and qualify for the Champions League and if that is the sum of your ambition you should feel pleased with yourselves. But are you really happy with that ?

      You may have dominated the North London soccer scene for many years but surely you want to win something ? Sooner or later when we start winning things and you have a season or two in the doldrums will the fact that you were in the CL for 14 seasons on the trot mean anything ?

    • Spursman says:

      Firstly, it is not our best season points wise. Secondly the reason is because we are catching you. Us going up, you going down, just a matter of time before we do overtake you. Get it?

    • andy says:

      You gunners like mentioning the fact it was your worst start for 20 years, and that you still made it through. What you forget is in between you fluked your way to your best league run since the invincibles. 5 last minute winners in a row or something? fuloping ridiculous

    • hoofing says:

      He is indeed thejoker but can’t act.

    • Spurstacus says:

      Its actually longest, not loudest. Be my guest and laugh loudly. We are catching you and where it not for exceptional luck in your favour we would have surpassed you today. Its coming, and when it does we will laugh- last, and longest.

    • hoofing says:

      Top 4…..bla bla….top 4????; what’s top about 4th place of even 3rd?…….

  • Top Tottys says:

    COYG …phuk off and go back to fingering your sister you stoopid cuzt!!!

    • TheJoker says:

      Such etiquette. You are the Oscar Wilde of football ripostes.

      You are the shining example of intelligence for your club.

      Have a wonderful summer. :)
