    I apologize

    Before the 2005–06 season if two or more teams were tied in points for first place, for only one spot in a European tournament, or in the relegation zone, teams would play tie-breaking games after the season was over to determine which team would be champion, or be awarded a European tournament spot, or be saved or relegated. Since 2005-06, if two or more teams end the season with the same number of points, the ordering is determined by their head-to-head records. In case two or more teams have same total points and same head-to-head records, goal difference becomes the secondary deciding factor.

    Yes, we only need 3 points if Milan win everything, it can be three draws but that will make us restless and that's because our head-to-head with Milan is better.

    i can't believe they changed the rule. The rule was fair to all parties, and now they changed it.

    Anyway i guess we are set. I just wish we could clinch that 2nd spot just to give us a bit of a break before the start of the season.

    It might help us have a better start to the season, as we'll have started pre-season training earlier and we'll have played some important games by the start of the Serie A season.

    Damn, Roma's draw gave us hope :)

    As said above, all we need is 3 points to secure the CL. Even if all Milan, Juve and Fiorentina end up with same number of points and a mini-table is created, we're winning the mini-table and we'll be 3rd anyway.
    3 pts in 5 matches is all we need for CL

    But now we're "only" 8 points behind Roma, with one game in hand. In theory, we're 5 points behind Roma, with 4 rounds to go.
    That means that Roma losing one and drawing one gives us chances, but we have to win everything.
    I don't know how realistic it is.

    Anyway, Ranieri must NOT start talking about the second place now. Tomorrow we play for securing the CL spot, not for the second place.

    Hear that Claudio ? We're not playing for the second place tomorrow !

    Yeah, I liked that rule.

    It would be a very long season for some players though.
