Really dislike them, but it sure seems like this happens to them every year.

A bit off topic but I was just looking at the country rankings. Since Italy have been shite lately, looks like England being overtaken is unlikely. Rankings at the end of this season determine places in the 2018-19 competitions.

But, assuming the access list doesn't change, there's an interesting race for places 5/6/7. This is key because right now, 6th place gets 3 UCL teams (2 group stage, 1 Q3) while 7th place only gets 2 (1 group stage, 1 Q3).

As of last season, Portugal was 5th, France 6th and Russia 7th. As of today (incomplete season), Portugal are 7th. Key is that our comrade Mr. P could get a 3rd UCL team.

Also, the Netherlands dipping closer to the line where they would only get one team in the UCL. Again, less likely to happen this season but they PSV, Ajax and AZ in a bad way to do something in Europe.

Mind spew over. Carry on.
