Coming back to the league ...
Anthony:
Well done RedLoner! (And well done Vladi!) ;D ;D ;D
Just to add to my earlier posts - Today's victory means we are now mathematically assured of a top 6 finish this season. The European places presently go as follows
Top 2 - Qualify directly for CL Group Stages
3rd - Qualify for CL Pre-Qualification round
4th - Also qualify for CL Pre-Qualification round *unless* Man Utd or Ourselves win the CL and finish outside the top 4, in which case take UEFA Cup spot
5th - UEFA Cup Spot *unless* it goes to 4th place as above.
6th - At present do not qualify for a UEFA Cup Spot with 2 exceptions
a) If *both* FA Cup Finalists (ie Arsenal v Chelsea) have already qualified for Europe via the League Position
b) If England qualifies for an extra UEFA Cup place via the UEFA Fair Play League - normally comes down to a ballot.
(Remember Blackburn have already taken a UEFA Cup place by
winning the Worthington Cup)
So, on present standings, we need 5 more points to beat last season's points tally, a maximum of 10 more points to be assured of European Football next season, 11 more points to seal a CL qualifying spot, and to win all our games to be assured of qualification for the CL Group Stages.

You never fail to come up with the goods! Thks, Anthony! :D
Shaky Jake:
5 more points to beat last season? That's excellent. Just shows how the team is progressing.

11 points from 6 matches, that's well within our reach, considering also that this is probably the worst case scenario, i.e. if our rivals for CL places do their best (right Anthony?) which they are not at the moment; we just defeated a couple.
And a correction to what I said earlier, the mancs wouldn't want to lose 9 (not 10) in a season; well, neither would they want to lose 10... you get the idea.

Correct - at present 11 points would take us out of the reach of Leeds & Chelsea but they've still got to face the Mancs so it could either be down to an 8 point target or we'll get a serious advantage for 2nd place ;D ;D ;D
Like I said, it's Arsenal we need to watch out for...
