We asked for your views on Chelsea's chances for European qualification as they currently sit eighth in the Premier League.

Here are some of your comments:

Sal: No chance! With Liverpool and Manchester City yet to play, and 10 points behind fifth place, we would be lucky to even make top half of the league!

Steve: No, I don't think Chelsea will qualify for Europe. All the teams around them are in form. Chelsea are not at the races presently.

John: Absolutely will not secure a Champions League place, nor do we deserve to either. Hopefully it'll be the wake-up call for the owners, but I rather doubt it... wonder how that "landmark" sponsor deal is going.

Steve: The best we can hope for is the Europa League and frankly, I'd rather we missed out on that and focus on building some real momentum in our domestic league and competitions. From the four games we have left, I can see maybe four points, six at best, which I don't think will give us enough to reach sixth place. Gutted at no Champions League but given our season, we don't deserve to be there.

Scott: We may scrape the Conference League but that is all we deserve. Maybe that - or nothing at all - will convince our owners to change the youth only policy of recruitment and get some experience in the building.
