The second one is not true. If Chelsea win the Europa the only way an extra place will be gained is if they finish 6th.
Since the Channel Tunnel opened in 1994 the route into Europe is much easier and in fact has made the whole continent much more accessible to many people
Let's try and finish 6th by beating Everton and winning the rest of the games. It's largely out of our hands but we need to finish the season strong with our heads held high.
DJ is that because the place will then go to the runner-up of the final or?
Taken from BBC live text:
Chelsea v Swansea (1500 BST)
A bit of a footnote to Chelsea's season is that should they win the Europa League, they will gain an extra place for English clubs presuming they qualify for Europe through their own league position.
RR, I read on the UEFA website that the Europa doesn't give a country an extra place. I will see if I can find it, or something to the contrary.
England wont move up to 3rd, there was quite alot of red cards this weeked
Cheers DJ.
That's true Suso there were, 3 in that southampton - west brom alone.
So is there only one Europa spot based on league position and then 2 for cup winners (Fa + league)?
Neither Spain nor Portugal got an extra place in the 2 previous seasons when Porto and Atletico Madrid qualified for the CL after winning the Europa.
For instance...
Since the winners of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League, Porto, qualified for the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League through domestic performance, the title holder spot reserved for them in the group stage was vacated. As a result, the following changes to the default allocation system were made to compensate for the vacant title holder spot in the group stage:[7]
The domestic cup winners of associations 16 and 17 (Scotland and Bulgaria) were promoted from the third qualifying round to the play-off round.
The domestic cup winners of associations 28 and 29 (Belarus and Republic of Ireland) were promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.
The domestic cup winners of associations 52 and 53 (Malta and San Marino) and the domestic league runners-up of associations 33 and 34 (Latvia and Moldova) were promoted from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.
Ah ok fair enough, looks like no Europa for us next year then!
I feel we can finish sixth. We have to beat Everton, then they have to play Chelsea.
I'd rather not have the Europa league next season we could solely concentrate on the league and look to win a cup, playing the the Europa means to many Sunday games!
