Why would we get knocked out? We've won every single Champions League group we've been in...
No - There are now a maximum of 5 teams that can qualify, but only if the EL winners finish outside of the top 4. If the EL winners finish in the top 4, only 4 will qualify. It was brought in to stop what happened to us from happening again. The only way the 4th placed team can miss out now is if both the EL and CL winners finish outside of the top 4. Of course that will never happen, but if it did... you can guess who'd miss out.
Fuck started dancing around the house and then I heard group G

There are now a maximum of 5 CL spots available, but only in the event of a domestic team winning the EL and finishing out of the top 4. If the EL winner finishes in the top 4 only the top 4 will get CL. In the unlikely event of both the CL and EL winners finishing out of the top 4, 4th place will miss out and go into the EL.
He would be idiotic to not take it seriously given that it's not just a trophy.
It'd be even better if they'd actually qualified.
SouthStand Billy Just so I'm clear. The reason the atmosphere sucks on Sundays is that it's harder to get to the Lane, correct? The trains don't run on the same schedule or something?
Sunday is a giant sports day in the States, which is why it's hard for us (me at least) to grasp how Sundays are a bad thing.
It is definitely a cultural thing. Football in Britain really took off as a spectator sport when the working week was cut from 6 days to 5 and a half days a week - hence the 3 o'clock Saturday K.O. This allowed the working man time to knock off at lunchtime, get changed, and have a few beers on his way to the match.
All the grounds were built in the middle of working class areas, so it was easy for the fans to attend matches. Sundays in Victorian Britain were for church and family. When these arrangements were in place, football as a spectator sport took off in a phenomenal way.

says this was the tradition until Sky moved in, and pitched football to a new demographic, with more emphasis on a family environment. of course this is not necessarily a bad thing, but the atmosphere at matches has suffered as a result - particularly on a Sunday.Yeah, pretty sure it's tomorrow.
Depends who we draw to be honest. Anyone half decent and close and it might be difficult, ground size could be an issue as well at this stage as we are only entitled to 5% of any ground.
Plus we need time for our new tactics and players to gel. The more time our first team plays together the better we will be long term. We can worry about burnout after Christmas.
If we want to be top 4 permanently, we have to learn to juggle competitions.
