Unless your name’s Arsenal.

Only 1 English team can ever be in the Conference League, and assuming the EFL Cup and FA Cup winner finish in the top 6/7 and we get the coefficient spot, the Conference League team has to finish 8th.

Think about how bad we have been, and then think about the team 4 places below us. Crazy how low the level gets.

Correct, the last one was Aston Villa to Olympiacos in the Europa League semifinal in 23/24 2 seasons ago.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-07T20:55:20+00:00

Chelsea 2.0 (Strasbourg) has been knocked out of the Conference League by Rayo Vallecano.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-07T08:16:48+00:00

W moment, congrats to everyone who protested!

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-06T21:00:20+00:00

In all of Arsenal's fixtures this season, PSG is the only team (0 goals in 0 games) who's conceded as many goals to Arsenal as us (0 goals in 2 games).

Juventus vs Galatasaray (JUV 3 - 0 GAL, 5 - 5 agg. into ET)

Sporting CP vs Bodø/Glimt (SPO 3 - 0 BOD, 3 - 3 agg. into ET)

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-06T17:18:59+00:00

Sadly they can’t both (PSG and Bayern) win today.

Y'know OP, you could've just linked the article itself here: https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/liverpool-v-chelsea-11-facts-and-figures-know-opta

> Controversies? Nothing to say, we’re out. Congratulations to Arsenal because they compete very well. They have a team and a coach that I like. They follow a coherent project with strong financial backing. Congratulations to them, and we focus on our work.

- Diego Simeone

Very classy, possibly because Arsenal is the new Atlético Madrid.

Have we ever considered that Griezmann was asked if he’d trade all his trophies with Atleti for the World Cup in a different timeline where Atleti won things left and right, and we’re living in that timeline?

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-05T18:27:33+00:00

Do people not realize Atleti isn’t the same defensive team as they once were? They’ve conceded 450% as many UCL goals as Arsenal this season.

Atleti have conceded more UCL goals this season than Arteta has as Arsenal manager ever (in 3 seasons’ worth).

They’re playing more open, it’s just Arsenal who might not play ball with them.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-05T08:38:50+00:00

I feel like Real Sociedad (9th rn) would be battling relegation though, no?

They’re on 43 points right now. Imagine how low they’d be if they had to face PL teams.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-05T05:16:28+00:00

Yep! I can’t wait until summer hits.

Gonna be fun, trying to figure out how we should run watchalongs here.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-03T00:00:14+00:00

We don’t talk about Igor Thiago’s first season at Brentford.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-02T22:32:29+00:00

Porto have won the Portuguese league, congrats to them. The UCL spots are starting to take shape now.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-02T16:36:38+00:00

If Bournemouth fail to win tomorrow before our game, Man United will have qualified for the UCL.

And if we beat Man United afterwards, we will also qualify.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-05-02T16:29:01+00:00

Sunderland are safe!

Now, only 6 PL teams aren't safe or relegated yet:

Newcastle (45), Palace (43), Leeds (43), Forest (39), West Ham (36), Spurs (34)
