Quinn31 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Manchester City and Arsenal both leading in their League Cup. Tomorrow will be Man U vs Bristol and Chelsea vs Bournemouth. Very real chance that the final four ends up being Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U, and Man City and/or the final is two of those big six teams that already will qualify for Europe through their league position. That would mean that 6th place would be a Europa League place, correct? And then if the FA Cup winner (or winner + 2nd place?) already is qualifed for Europe that 7th place would then become a Europa League place? Yikes - that could mean things falling in line for Burnley to play in Europe... or us or Leicester or Watford... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say the rule is: The Top 4 gets Champions League 5th automatically gets Europa League The FA Cup winner gets Europa League The EFL Cup Winner gets Europa League If the FA Cup and/or EFL Cup winner already qualifies for Europe, the spot goes to the next highest placed team in the league?

I don' think he is a bad player but if he doesn' score he doesn' bring much else to the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike is either deeply confused by the rules or loves to go on long winded rants about them. I'm guessing the former? It has changed - apparently Fair Play and FA Cup 2nd place used to potentially qualify, but not anymore. 3 hours ago, markjazzbassist said: it's the same thing every year, not sure why people always ask this. yes 7th would get europa, yes 6th would too. i don't want Europa, we always fuck it up and it ruins our season.

I thought you'd been here long enough to know it winds Mike up because it gets asked every year, but obviously not!

Quinn31 Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Paul Clement sacked. They are so poor, but I think it's just as much the players he has to work with as it is his managerial ability - shame. If you're not going to back a manager in the transfer market coming off a season where you barely avoided relegation, how did they expect to be in any other position? Swansea, Newcastle, West Brom, and Stoke are the sides in real, real trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My niece's partner is a BC season ticket holder but also a "ground collector" who missed a game to join to us at Goodison last season because it wasn't ticked off his list and he loved it.

Just watched it at half time; very similar to Niasse incident but "experts" (Gerrard & Jenas) said he was touched so was entitled to go down, strange that applies to England's golden boy but not to Oumar.
