Europa League Qualification Poll

[Ring master]

Woke up this morning thinking "is today the day, exciting Stadium news and Everton all but confirmed in Europe next season?" Going to sleep with "Lukaku rejects contract and Leicester through". lol

Its never simple been an Everton fan,wind ups,panic,frustration galore lol

My quotes are from direct from the UEFA website March 2015, specifically stating the exception when an additional place can be granted, as quoted in my earlier comment. Have you a link to a UEFA page/document which contradicts?

http://www.uefa.org/about-uefa/executive-committee/news/newsid=2226990.html

Clubs winning either the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa League," he said, "will not add an extra place to the total number of places available for that association in the subsequent club competition season – with one exception.

The only time an association can gain an additional place in the subsequent season's club competitions will be if one of their clubs wins either the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa League and, at the same time, does not finish in a place in their domestic league or domestic cup which automatically grants a place in a UEFA club competition.

So, unless that's been superceded, then it's on !
Christ on a bike, could it get any more complicated ?

Need Leicester to lose in CL quarter final.

 

[blulouie]

I can see Leicester beating them on Tuesday.

Top prediction right there

Foxes on a roll...Champions lge winners....who'd av thunk it

If that garbage Liverpool team from 2005 can win it anyone can. I will be so pleased when they get knocked out. We need Europa as a minimum to attract that next level of player.

Nah, it's fine if they lose in semis...OR IN FINAL

...if they would win, though. ..it would be so outrageous that one could only accept it.

Just want them out as soon as possible to clear the way for Everton.

You shouldnt bother your self with their situation really

I would happily forego the EL if the RS lose their CL spot to Leicester/Man Utd. That's how small-time I am.

Just watching this Europa league draw makes me realise how good it would be to win it, some of the teams in these quarters are so average as well.

I am not bothered if people disagree, I love seeing Everton in Europe.

Man U are gonna win it. Schalke, Lyon and, maybe, Celta Vigo are their only realistic competition.

 

[The Cowboy]

Realistically, Utd should be walking away with the EL. A very mediocre bunch of teams remaining.

Lyon to knock them out

Lyon to knock them out

Just drawn Besiktas, with 2nd leg away. Would fancy the Turks for that one.

Besiktas
Ajax
Celta Vigo
Utd

Would be my expected semi finalists.

It just shows what sticking around in that comp year after year can do. Imagine if we were in that spot now, we'd just come out the group and beaten Rostov. We'd be feeling really excited about the prospect of winning it and getting CL, yet some people don't like it because it impacts league form, baffling.
