Now that it has played out that Liverpool won't be able to overtake us if we win our last game, how charitable are we feeling regarding their game against Sevilla.?
Personally, I've found that I have a growing liking for the Spanish club that has sprung out of nowhere. For the life of me, I can't think of a reason why.![]()
So, have I got this right? If ManU win the FA Cup it doesn't matter about the Bournemouth game because we'll still go straight through to the group stage?
That's why I corrected someone who thought they could now support Palace in the cup....sadly not. I want them to win the cup, so from a Europa POV we can forget all about the game yet to play. We can then support Bournemouth so that we keep 5th.So, have I got this right?

And our UEFA coefficient is 16.756, since you ask.
Feyenoord leaps out. Seen many of their fans visit st Mary's over the last couple of seasons.
Would be a special game
Liverpool will get CL if they win the Europa...do they miss out or get back into the Europa if they lose?
Is there a single Saints fan out there who over the next week doesn't want a hattrick of Bmouth, Sevilla, and Palace wins?
5th place and EL group stage for us. No trophy for Liverpool. No Europe for Liverpool. No trophy for Utd. EL qualifying for Utd. No Europe for West Ham and their taxpayer funder stadium.
