TicTacWoe 0 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Bolton's fixtures (having a game or two in hand as well) are by far the easiest of the teams down there. Looking pretty grim for Blackburn now and QPR if they don't win today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I wouldn't have had QPR getting too many points from Arsenal, Liverpool & Swansea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6700 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7168 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Everton WILL drop at least 4 points anyway so we are as good as in, even if we lose 5 on the bounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7485 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 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. Â Thanks Mr Carroll. Who'd have thought that it would turn out like this last January? Certainly not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelie 103 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â 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!

McFaul 35 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
