7th place could mean Europe

[SunJihai]

Sorry if this is old news, but assuming we don't beat Everton to 6th place this year, there's still a way for us to get into the Europa League next season:

BBC:
The Football Association has revealed Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley will be staged on Saturday 18 April, with a 1715 BST kick-off.

The Blues will take on either Arsenal or Hull, who play their quarter-final at the Emirates on Tuesday 17 March.

Manchester United's last-four tie with Everton at Wembley is scheduled for Sunday 19 April at 1600 BST.

If Arsenal beat Hull, the Cup's line-up may open up a European spot for the seventh-placed Premier League team.

As long as Everton finish in the top 6, and one of Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea or Everton win the FA Cup, then we can get into Europe through the back door again (can anyone say FIFA Fair Play?).

We just need to hold off West Ham, Wigan and Fulham for that 7th place.

No fair play positions this year, and holders dont get in.

7th spot barring a Hull City miracle will get a spot so were battling Wigan / West Ham

I didn't realize that. Is it because of the change to the Europa League?

Just to clarify summat here, so when City win the UEFA Cup this season, we don't qualify for the UEFA Cup (or whatever they're going to call it) next season?

if we win it we are in

 

[Didsbury Dave]

MCRRON is wrong.

The winners are in next year's competition

 

[chrishull]

The titleholders and ten clubs eliminated from the UEFA Champions League play-off round qualify automatically for the group stage.

And there will be Fair Play entrants in next season's Europa League but we won't be in contention for those!
