The same.
Specifically if any of the above is achieved in a season with a
far from great squad + manager, yet we are both so much worse
on both fronts that we may not be in UEFA land next season.
Apparently we have agreed to join the European super league! I guess we had to whilst they would still let us join, not sure what it actually means though
Late, late equaliser for the Woolwich and that's probably that for Scott Parker. They play with a huge amount of grit and determination but like Brighton haven't got a good enough striker to edge some of their close games. They've played 2 more than the teams above them so I can't see them lasting.
That'll serve them right for fleecing us of £30m + Onomah for a player we've hardly seen in 2 years.

Spurs and Arsenal having the cheek to sign up to a European Super League whilst sitting mid table is a joke
They've probably just agreed to expand the Champions League and have "leaked" this news to make that sound less bad when it's announced.
I really don’t like modern football. So many things make me feel disconnected with the game these days
I thought it was because they were against the proposed changes to the ECL and was being set up outside of UEFAs jurisdiction. Quiet how that works in reality I don't know
Now a statement for various governing bodies
"UEFA, the English Football Association and the Premier League, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and LaLiga, and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and Lega Serie A have learned that a few English, Spanish and Italian clubs may be planning to announce their creation of a closed, so-called Super League," it reads.
"If this were to happen, we wish to reiterate that we – UEFA, the English FA, RFEF, FIGC, the Premier League, LaLiga, Lega Serie A, but also FIFA and all our member associations - will remain united in our efforts to stop this cynical project, a project that is founded on the self-interest of a few clubs at a time when society needs solidarity more than ever."

Penalty fun at Old Trafford (from the BBC text):
35 mins: United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka takes a risk as he shoves Chris Wood over from a cross in the box. It probably wasn't strong enough a shove to be a foul... but that often doesn't stop decisions being given. [TRANSLATION: if that was a United player shoved over it would have been a pen.]
37 mins: Now United have a penalty shout. Marcus Rashford goes past Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who holds his hands up and keeps his legs in as he tries his best to not touch Rashford - because if he does that's a penalty. Rashford goes down, he was expecting the contact. No penalty. [TRANSLATION: Rashford cheated but giving yellow cards for diving ManU players is never acceptable. No doubt the Hobbit will be encouraging Rashford's father not to feed him though.]

I'll be starting up Hotspur of Tottenham Football Club if we end up in anything like that.
Reports are that five English clubs are involved. So which five? Or assuming it’s the “big six” with one absentee, who’s missing?
They certainly are now and have been for a few years but would you say they are traditional top six?
Could well be because for many years people used to go on about the "big four" or "Sky four" so maybe they are in the original top six.
The big six has only been a thing for about a decade in England. Had generally been the big/ sky four prior to that. They weren’t big four (neither were we) but are certainly big six.
