Liverpool are awful

Won’t Watford get a place if they get beat by city in cup, due to city qualifying for CL?

(I was editing as you posted - clearly best if Watford win the cup).

Seven - but five of those will be in CL and only two in EL.

 

So given spurs and Liverpool are top 4 Anyway, what happens to the CL place if Chelsea, also top 4, win the EL, does that go to the runner up?

Sorry, there will only be 4 in CL if Chelsea win, but 5 if Arsenal win.

No, that doesn't happen anymore

So if Chelsea win, does another league get the extra place that's knocking about? Guess it's got to go somewhere, hopefully not Scotland

Mansfield winning in play offs

Better than a trip to Newport

Austria, as the next ranking country (11th). Scotland are 26th.

Tyler walker scored 22 in 44 for Mansfield in league 2.

 Remember John well. Didn't he used to go to Anfield with a Breightmet lad, Jimmy Hall?

I don't know the name , they were a bit older than me, but Guy was the main L/pool fan & I think Quinny went with him. Guy was a squat, tough looking chap, but he also went to some Wanderers' games with Warbys on the Embankment , I think. He died, many, many years ago.

Their keeper made a save that on first glance was on a par with that Gordon Banks save v Pele. 

On slow motion it looks like the header has hit his shin, then his head then managed to palm it over. 

It's making me feel more confident for not next season but season after when we inevitably go down to league 2.

Some mint away days. We'll win every week.

Yeah get these and FGR knocked out in semis then it's a choice of Mansfield or the Wirral

Anything but Tranmere for me, bad enough any time but worse with them on the up & us on the way down.

Mansfield or Female Genital Rovers for me 

Aye. New ground in FGR, in a decent part of the world too.

Conrad Logan, the Polar Bear. Signed on a short term deal for Hibs the other year and had a worldie on his debut in cup semi final against Dundee Utd and saved a couple of penalties in the shoot out. Won the cup then got released and ended up at Rochdale!

He's having a blinder tonight. Mom. 3 brilliant saves. 

Edit: two mins later gives away a pen. Saves it but they tap in the rebound.

Managed to save the penalty but unlucky on the rebound, gutted for him!

Wasn’t a penalty either for me

If Arsenal win the EL and finish 5th or 6th in the PL that will lift the third French club directly to the CL group stage.

Full house

Can't remember the last time I saw a keeper stand still and save one put right down the middle

Did well not to let it through his legs. 

All the talk of the trouble faced by Liverpool and Spurs fans in getting to Madrid, good luck to Chelsea and Arsenal fans who want to get to Baku!
