The only exception to all of this is if Chelsea win the Champions League. In that scenario the Europa League spots will go to 4th and 5th place

 

Surely if Chelsea finish above us then they will be 5th anyway so the Europa League place passes over to the team in 6th?

 

If Chelsea finish 5th and win the Champions League they go into the Champions League at the expense of the team finishing 4th who will go into the Europa League.

 

There is a Europa League position awarded for the following:

 

Carling Cup Winners

FA Cup Winners

League Place 5th

 

The FA Cup winners will either be Chelsea, Spurs or Liverpool. If we finish 6th then Chelsea and Spurs will have finished above us and therefore one will be in the Champions League and the other in the Europa League. As Liverpool have already qualified for Europe by winning the Carling Cup, the Europa League place cannot be awarded to a cup finalist and instead goes to the team who finishes 6th.

 

The top 6 will now definitely play in Europe next season. We just need to get another 4 points to confirm we're one of them.

Isn't it lovely how Andy Carroll is still helping us qualify for Europe more than a year after departing. And we now have 25 odd million pounds and two superior goal scorers in our side because of him (and Liverpool). Firstly blows a golden scoring opportunity against us then scores the winner to knock Everton out of european consideration.

 

Thanks Mr Carroll. Who'd have thought that it would turn out like this last January? Certainly not me.

aye, the summation of this whole scenario with newcastle/carroll is that football is, indeed, a heedfuck.

Interesting to note that Enrique seems to have lost favour at Liverpool, came off the bench against Blackburn and didn't even get to do that against Everton.

Not with Liverpool supporters though interestingly. When he was rested against Blackburn I figured that was so he was fresh for the FA Cup but Kenny had a different idea, preferring to squeeze Carragher out there... Worked out brilliantly!

Just read that Di Canio took his seat in the Swindon dugout yesterday only hours after learning his mother had died. Was in tears, but was determined to do his job. They got 3 points and have all but secured promotion.

As much as he might be a fascist neo-nazi, you can't fault that. He's done a fantastic job there and I know a few West 'Ammmm fans who would rather see him in charge than Fat Sam.

If they don't get promoted this year, that seems like it will happen.

Neil Lennon is a disgrace to his football club. I've listened to a lot of Celtic fans down the years moaning about the treatment he receives purely being down to the fact that he's a catholic playing for Celtic who also played for Northern Ireland, and it's purely sectarian. If that's the case how does Paddy McCourt get treat well at Windsor Park? I think 80% of it is the fact he's a little cunt, to be fair it was never ever a penalty, but the final whistle goes and he races 60 yards to call the referee a cheating cunt two yards from his face. I don't think I've ever seen the worst loser of the lot SAF do that. It's nee wonder people hate him.
