Why did you bring up the PL when the OP didn’t? Are you sure you read good?

And why do you think he used the word “specific” in the context of his question?

There’s reasons to think GKC was asking what I believe he was asking and you have your reasons too. But what’s different is you’re going to argue a simple matter of clarification in 5 different posts rather than just stop making a fool of yourself.

I’ll take the hypocrisy ding on this one for presenting my case when it’s pretty obvious and unnecessary. I’m not going to apologize for setting you off by questioning your reading of the OP’s question.

I appreciate the effort.

I brought up the PL for two reasons

1) Arsenal is in the PL (along with Chelsea). And qualifying usually, is tied to your league and table position based on the strength of the league.

2) The example that everyone thinks of, when a "specific" team was pushed out of the UCL was when Chelsea won the UCL and pushed Tottenham, the specific team that finished 4th in the PL that year and had, by definition, qualified for the UCL qualifying rounds because of that. When Chelsea won, it took away the 4th spot for the PL.

That's why I brought the PL up, because I'm assuming that the OP was referencing that specific example.

However, as has been noted, UEFA changed the rules after that happened.

So now, if Arsenal wins, no one is affected, and everyone goes to the spot they qualified for based on their league position, thus answering his question. I didn't read it wrong, I referenced the previous example that his question was addressing.

But hey, I'm game to keep going here. The question and answer are clear here.

Again and again and again and again it seems

It’s hilarious, you answered his question immediately with good information but the audacity of someone saying that you might be misinterpreting has basically broke your brain.

Even if I did misinterpret it, the answer doesn't change. No one is pushed "out" of the UCL.

I was waiting for the moment you said (paraphrasing) “even if I’m wrong about what the OP was asking, I’m still right and their question was wrong.”

My work here is done, thanks GKC for initiating this. I know it wasn’t what you were hoping for, but I appreciated it. I’m sure somewhere in HTowns replies is the answer to the question you actually meant.

You were.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game, you were still 100% wrong (not the OP or it's question). Yes, we could read it to be if Lyon or LASK is getting bumped by Arsenal winning, but they are being bumped "up" not "out".

You're attempt to suggest there is another reading of the OP is what was wrong here.

There is no alternative reading of the OP that makes your statements valid, but hey, glad you're entertained.

Da fuck is wrong with both of you?

And in the end, right

Is this what it means to be tired of winning?

"Yes, to DD's point, I am assuming that if Arsenal wins and is "in", then someone is out, unless the European Cup Champion League has an elastic number of entries. That's what I was driving at from a simpleton's point-of-view."

He clarified, and while he said to your point, if you look at the bold part, you were wrong, and the other posters and I accurately answered his question, that no one is "out".

He was asking if a team gets bumped from the competition, which they don't. So the Lyon, and other stuff you brought up was wrong. I read his question right, and answered correctly. No one gets bumped from the competition if Arsenal wins.

You can’t possibly be this bad at understanding GK’s posts

Not really
