I've done some basic figures and if City win, Liverpool win but don't qualify, West ham draw / don't qualify and villa draw and qualify then even if Bayern win we are still leading marginally. Then it will be down to who does better between City & Villa vs Bayern, Dortmund & BL. It could go down to needing them to win their finals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

My sums have a different outcome:

2 wins (2 x 2pts) and 2 draws (2 x 1pt) and 2 teams progressing (2 x 1pt) make 8 in total. Divided by 8 give England another 1 coefficient point - total 17.5

A win and progression for Bayern (3 points) and a draw and progress for Leverkusen (2 points) gives them 5, divided by 7 = 0.714 coefficient points = Total 17.982.

Comfortably ahead of us.

If this happens, the key will be City beating Munich in both SF legs, Villa winning their comp, preferably with wins in both SF legs

It would help if Villa won tonight but also if Arsenal lost on pens, as its still seen a a draw (1 point) but no advancement point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s nip and tuck now. I’m not convinced City will get through tonight, let alone win. Villa is tight as well, Lille could easily win that by a goal and knock them out on pens.

I just think it’s slipped away now - 3 German teams in the semi and 2 English at most has sunk us

lol at those who think Arsenal will get through that tie tomorrow - absolutely no chance, they don’t have the minerals. At best it will be a heroic defeat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bookmarked, could be another egg on face moment for Strike this evening.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Very happy you have, they don’t stand a chance. If it’s one of those rare occasions where I am wrong then I will be on here fronting it up like I always do - you can be front of the line with the pelters Neo
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Definitely questions being asked of Arsenal's mentalty.

Last season it was the loss of a couple key players led to a drop off...fair enough.

This season, with the much hyped Rice, and they get turned over at home in a key game, and allowed Bayern to score twice at Emirates, a team that has already come 2nd in a one horse race.

Massive test for them tonight, and one which I cannot see them winning. They've been choking it in recent weeks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We've had one really bad half of football in three months and we are unlikely to win the league that's what we are up against in this league with City around. If you ever get to that level you will see how tough it is.

Football is in a slump right now, PSG and Dortmund are mediocre at best but in the semis of the CL ffs

Nice one strike mug ffs. Was looking forward to Bayern winning, now Arsenal are going through.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think strike is making another ‘England will beat France’ prediction here. On paper he’s in the right ballpark, Bayern are better, but I think he forgets how good arsenal are at cheating, expect a dodgy penalty to decide this for arsenal.

Pot and kettle come to mind given the history of your club.

Tbf, City gave everyone a chance with their form between October and December.

But I agree, their form since the new year has been ridiculous, pretty much coinciding with De Bruyne’s return to fitness.

Think you're right Devonshire. My maths is rubbish. An arsenal draw but no progression makes a big difference. So we can hope they get knocked out but not thrashed as that would be best for us.

Being a Spurs fan I can’t help notice Arsenal as well - I know both sides flaws very well and that defeat, believe me was inevitable. Arsenal do not go away in high pressure Euro knockout games and get results, they never have and that inexperienced side was not going to start tonight off the back of Sunday.
