6th is Europe then?

[SteKelly]

Why? They are still playing in Europe and have been all season. We have players who've been injured and out a long time and are back fresh and Jagielka to come back in.

If Lukaku stays fit I cant believe we'll miss out on Europe.

I'm realistically looking for a strong last 11 game finish and getting close to, if not reaching, 70 points and 5th place. I certainly dont think we'll allow both Sours and United to finish above us.

Don't ever count United out mate.

People want us to go in the champs league without having experience in Europa League. just baffling. If we got to the semis in Europa league and finished 8th or whatever in the league I would be buzzing.

Not arsed - We won't have the squad to compete on 2 fronts anyway

So you don't want Everton to get better?

Well, no Europa for finishing 7th now then

Unless arsenal finish 5th and win cup.

Well the bookies make us the outsiders of the 3 - http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/top-6-finish . Which ain't to say that it can't be done. I reckon next 6 games will be crucial - we need to get back into the winning habit quickly.

I don't think so, I think if Arsenal finish 5th and win the cup then the Runners up get the EL place, along with 5th and 6th

Why would we be better

Attract better players... that makes you better

 

[navidson]

Doesn't matter if we can attract better players - We can't afford to buy them

You get paid a pittance for qualifying for the Europa League and IMO it would cost us 4-6 league places - A competition that isn't worth qualifying for under any circumstances

That would require money being spent

This is Moyes' United though. Hopefully they beat down Liverpool next week then fall back into their usuual pattern under Moyes.

Wou

Unless arsenal finish 5th and win cup.

Wouldn't the cup final runner up get the slot as opposed to 7th in league in that instance?

 

[SteKelly]

We have money. Martinez didn't want to spend it in January. We will be able to get decent loan players again which I'm sure will all enjoy watching.

If you're a player, would you rather go to a team who isn't in Europa or a team who is playing in Europa?
