Europe??

Europe?!:

Fair Play mystery

 

We don't want to start any false rumours and unnecessary passport applications but here are the facts as wee see them through our bleary eyes:

 

On the Premier League's official site (premierleague.com) their disciplinary table is currently showing (with 37 games played):

Pos Team P Y R Pts

1 Liverpool 37 45 1 48

2 Everton 37 40 3 49

3 Tottenham 37 51 1 54

4 Man United 37 49 2 55

5 Man City 37 50 3 59

6 Newcastle 37 57 1 60

7 Arsenal 37 53 3 62

8 Aston Villa 37 53 4 65

 

 

Now, by our reckoning after today's games the table should look like this:

Pos Team P Y R Pts

1 Liverpool 38 46 1 49

2 Everton 38 40 3 49

3 Tottenham 38 52 1 55

4 Man United 38 51 2 57

5 Newcastle 38 59 1 62

6 Man City 38 51 4 63

7 Arsenal 38 54 3 63

8 Aston Villa 38 55 4 67

 

 

Given that the four teams above us are already in Europe does Richard Dunne's red card at the Smoggies mean we now qualify for the UEFA Cup?

 

If not, then why all the stories about Man City being on the verge of qualifying?

 

Only an unofficial site in Malta suggests we may have snatched the Fair Play spot while the Telegraph states:

 

"Not only did Dunne's reckless challenge on Tuncay leave City down to 10 men with 75 minutes remaining, it also left a question mark hanging over City's hopes of qualifying for the Uefa Cup through the backdoor of the 'Fair Play' table."

 

All we are doing is asking the question at this stage. Any clarification would be gratefully received.

 

Watch this space....

The fair play table is not the same thing as the disciplinary table. We were 14th in the fair play table after 36 games.

 

Pretty embarrassing mistake from the boys tbh.
