Just watching Arsenal now and how poor they are at the moment, think Wigan have a good chance,
Blades v Wigan final anybody?
 

Arsenal just lost me a tenner.

Looks like we'll definitely have to win the FA Cup to make Europe ;)
 
Ive just listened to a discussion about the Arse on Talk Sport on the way home. The fucking presenter (not a caller) said at 6.55 ,Arsenal should have no problem with Wigan ,especially as they have Millwall on Tuesday and then although it will be tougher should have too much for Hull in the final. What a fucking joke ,I wont be listening to that shitty station again.

We should make a list and email it to Cloughy to pin up in the dressing room.
 
It gives City's fringe players like Matty Fryatt, who hadn't been playing in the Premier League much, an opportunity to play.

they're not going to play a weakened side are they?

Isn't twaddle on talk sport?? he called it right didn't he.
 
What happens if Arse finish 5th??

Then the cup winners, and only the cup winners, can end up in Europe.*

Only if Arse qualify for the CL can the runners up qualify for Europe.


*Note this scenario also applies if Arsenal finish 4th but Man U win the Champions League...
 
Why would anyone listen to talksport anyway ? The most Southerly biased radio station in the Country.

I used to listen to it whilst driving 40,000 miles a year and I have NEVER, NOT EVEN ONCE heard a single, solitary complimentary or good word said about Sheffield United EVER. Whoever we are playing, whatever league we are playing in, however well we are doing there's nothing but spite shown towards us.
They talk about Spurs, West Ham, Chelsea and Arsenal with an occasional mention of Man Utd and Liverpool, and even then only from a Cockney perspective.

Everyone that rings up waffles the same old platitudes in their cockney but trying to be posh accent and is about as controversial or interesting as Trevor Brooking

Switch the channel and f@ck them.
 
Have close family who are Arsenal season ticket holders and will be there Saturday. They are deeply worried. Thinks that Wigan will be up for it more and expecting the worse.

So would prem 6th get the other europa spot??

Yes, except they already have a spot due to Man C winning the League Cup.

The European Spots are basically divvied up as follows:

Champions League
  • 1st placed team in the PL
  • 2nd placed team in the PL
  • 3rd placed team in the PL
  • 4th placed team in the PL OR English Winners of the Champions League if they haven`t already qualified

Europa League
  • FA Cup Winners OR if the winnner has qualified for the CL FA Cup Runners up OR if the runner up has also qualified for the CL Highest placed team in the PL not qualifying for the CL
  • League Cup Winners OR if the winnner has qualified for the CL Highest placed team in the PL not already qualifying for the Champions League or Europa league
  • Highest placed team in the PL not qualifying for the Champions League or Europa league

The Europa League spots are hierarchical in nature, so if you win the FA Cup and the League Cup, you take the spot from the FA cup and the League cup spot defaults to the alternate.
