HIYAAAAAAAAAAAA only me!

Win your qualifier first.

Third isn't out of the question yet, may not need to qualify

Congrats ~ But please don't forget Everton's experience in the CL

The qualifying round looks pretty tough.

Might be one of these teams

Spain Villarreal
Germany Bayern Munich
France Lyon or Paris Saint Germain
Italy Udinese, Roma or Lazio

Or maybe one of these if they get through a qualifying game to reach the round City are in.

Holland FC Twente, Ajax or PSV Eindhoven.
Turkey Fenerbahce or Trabzonspor
Portugal Benfica
Ukraine Dynamo Kiev
Russia Rubin Kazan

Or they could luck out like Spurs did when they drew Young Boys from Switzerland.

Arsenal screwing it up. Two wins for City and they finish third.

If Man City beat Bolton next week or have the same result as Arsenal does against Fulham, they will finish third.

Arsenal continue to screw things up. Just like they messed up their easy group stage in this year's Champions league and drew Barcelona in the knockout, finishing four will have serious repercussions. As noted above the qualifier could be against a very good team and they may find themselves out of Europe before the premier has really begun. Not to mention the early game in the Champions league wrecks havoc plans with their plans over the summer.
