interesting read, apparently if city win the final, it'll create some messy scenarios. we personally don't have any perverse incentives but we may be victims of them.
stoke play manchester city again after the fa cup final, and if they lose the cup final they have no incentive to win in the league, as losing would help city claim a champions league spot, thus helping stoke get europe.
if liverpool manage to build up a point buffer between themselves and us, they'll want to lose to spurs to help them qualify for 6th.
i don't understand how the fa can **** things up this badly, and if liverpool are somehow the beneficiary of this nonsense again i will lose my mind. i will be equally mad if stoke end up throwing the game against city, putting them in the champions league and us out of the europa league, despite claiming 6th.
