If Liverpool finished fifth and Arseanl sixth, and each won their respective European trophies, neither 3rd or 4th would get into Champions League next year.

Even better!

I wouldn’t trust Arsenal to keep their side of the deal.

Or Liverpool, for that matter. It is a very, very remote possibility.

amazing

ah, OK. I thought we might get extra slots.

We obviously have a good chance of making the final (84% according to something I read) but there is a reason that Klopp has lost his last 5 finals or whatever it is
It's because he causes panic by refusing to relax when he needs to.

If we face Real then we’ll be 1-0 up with 10 mins to go. Ronaldo will chuck himself onto the floor, get a penalty then we will totally freak out and lose 2-1 in the third min of stoppage

If only we could have Klopp managing for 80 minutes and then Toxic Mo for the last 10, I think that would work.

Your last managerial job share worked out so well too.

didn't Liverpool win 5-2 last night. when are you guys going to start believing you can do it.

hats off to Salah. I was in the de Bruyne camp for player of the season due to the fact citeh have actually won something. but if Liverpool take it then Salah deserves massive props.

No. If they win and finish 5th, then the 4th placed team doesn't get in.

Not anymore. Whereever they place, if they win, they are in but 1-4 are still in anyway.

If Arsenal win the Europa, and Liverpool finish 5th and win the CL, England could have six sides in the CL next season.

If Liverpool finished fifth and Arseanl sixth, and each won their respective European trophies, neither 3rd or 4th would get into Champions League next year.

You might note that ManU won the Europa last year and yet the fourth placed side still got into the CL.

ah, OK. I thought we might get extra slots.

We do.

Ah - sorry for getting people excited unnecessarily.

does this increase chelsea's likelihood of qualifying for the CL?

is there a likely scenario that non-fake-scousers will be pleased if Liverpool win?

CL is limited to 5 with a total of 7 European spots.

I'd like to think that if Liverpool got to the final then fans of all English clubs will be supporting them. Especially against the divers that are Robben and Ronaldo.

But there is often a pretty wide gap between what I think and reality.

"UEFA is “deeply shocked” at Roma violence at Anfield last night, given their fans stabbed 6 Liverpool supporters in 2001, & then targeted Middlesbrough’s fans in 2006, Manchester United’s in 2007, Arsenal’s in 2009 & Chelsea’s last year..."

when are you guys going to start believing you can do it.

Next season...

klolls

Real Madrid it is then.

But there is often a pretty wide gap between what I think and reality.

Yep. Why on earth would any sane football fan want Liverpool to win when we know full well that we’ll have to listen to every fortysomething plastic melt bleat on about ‘European royalty, la’ and ‘It’s our destiny’ for the next ten fucking years?

I loathe Bayern and detest those fascist fuckers from Madrid, but I’d prefer either of them to win than your lot.

No offence, like.

...for the next ten fucking years?

What makes you think we won't, even if we don't win it?

All fair, apart from the plastic bit.

Christ how about an ISIS all-stars managed by Putin and Kim jong?
