Fifa verdict, then CAS, they will probably defer it until they hear the case (so won't come in effect until after window)
Spurs finish 3rd and win CL beating Barca who previously beat Liverpool 5-0 on agg. Queue of players at our door desperate for Poch and new Lane lifestyle.
Utd finish 4th somehow, to ensure Ole stays as manager, Pogba leaves in summer.
Woolwich finish 5th to ensure yet more Thursday travels to Mordor, get to EL final and lose 5-1, their default European score. All their players stay.
Chelsea finish 6th, transfer ban, Hazard leaves, Abramovich spends no more cash and new stadium plans fall through.
That’s all I ask

Stadium plan already gone for Chelsea
We definitely are not safe yet, it can change isntantly.
If we go and beat Brighton and West Ham, then I would say we are ALMOST safe.
Ths scenes if Woolwich come 4th and we knock them out of the Champions league by winning it.......
There are no words......
I can think of a few
Especially after they lost the South London Derby
I'm confident we'll finish third, think we will win all our remaining games easily. We are mentally right now, confidence sky high and bit between our teeth to be in the CL next season and try and win it this year.
If this season has taught us anything, it's that nothing is certain. United 100% gone? Nearly but not quite.
I just think if we win our next 2 Prem games we are unlukely to be overtaken by 2 teams.
That is where Woolwich and Chelsea being in the Europa helps us.
No, The top four would get CL football and the winner of El as well, making it 5 English teams in the CL
The maximum amount of teams in CL is 5 from any country.
The "guaranteed" spots, for England are;
Top 3
CL winners (If English) and finish outside the top 4
EL winners (if English) and finish outside of top 4
This isn't going to happen this year so even if Woolwich/Chelski win the EL the top 4 still qualify.

Everton have been quite good in the last few weeks (and kind to us ) beating Woolwich Chelsea and now Manu at their home in recent weeks.
But the Manu win was far bigger than expected - probably shows players given up on 4th already. Hope Man U players get enough of a kicking so they turn up against Chelsea
Understand the sentiment but the way the CL money is carved up next season means the money from media pool is about double if we finish 3rd versus if we finish 4th.
So worthwhile getting 3rd rather than giving Woolwich more money to waste !
Maybe Roman will build or buy a stadium in Russia for them now he can't or won't build one in London !
At this stage mate if you offered me 3rd and losing the semi final or 4th behind Woolwich and making the final I'd definitely take the latter. We are too close to witnessing something incredible for our club to let a few quid or personal rivalries make a difference to us.
Do I want Woolwich to finish in the top 4? Absolutely not but that doesn't matter to me very much knowing we are two matches away from seeing our boys take to a field for club footballs biggest prize.
Extra money or not, a European final would be glorious to experience.
Agree 100%.
Only point is that atm I think Chelsea are slight favourites for top 4 over Woolwich as the south London nomads don't travel well and need to go to Wolves and Leicester whilst Chelsea most difficult match v Manu might not be do difficult if Manu players have already gone on holiday
I know everyone is writing United off, but with the fact that Woolwich lost today, United could actually go ahead of them if Woolwich are as shaky on the road as they have been all season.
City haven’t looked at their best and they were very lucky to get a result against us on Saturday I think.
United are shit but they are capable of causing an upset in a big game. The ideal world for me is still united pipping chelsea and Woolwich to 4th and us holding on to 3rd.
If one of chelsea or Woolwich make 4th then the corresponding team could win the EL and they could both end up with CL football which I don’t like the thought of.
Obviously we come first so as long as we win our remaining games it doesn’t matter but I still hold a little bit of hope for United.

I'd take Man Utd beating Chelsea next weekend if you guarantee me 6 points from our next 2 games and Utd lose in the week to City.
Means wed be on 73 points.
Chelsea would be on 69
Man Utd would be on 67
And hopefully Woolwich on no more than 69 with their two away games. Can't see them winning both
4 points clear with 2 games to go with a better goal difference on everyone below us. Means we'd basically just need 2 point from our final 2 games.
Though it's even better with Burnley surprising us tonight.

Yeah i agree.
St Totteringham's day only mattered when we seemed incabable of finishing above them. Add in the fact that they always seemed to be in the way of champions league football and it got galling. It was a mental roadblock that needed to be overcome, like winning at stamford bridge. Once that duck was broken in 2017 i stopped giving too much of a shit.
There are far more important things going on.
