Bad news! Arsenal top the fair play league but will be in Europe anyway. Second are Liverpool!!! Now I would be fuming if we were the only team in the top 7 not to make Europe.

Why does this stuff always happen to us, i'm not having them in Europe over us if we finish above them.

Rodgers says that he doesn't fancy it because the qualifying starts so early.

They've stayed the same since he took over. Slight drop to 8.5 average. Liverpool currently on 8.6.

The derby alone will drop Liverpool down.

It would be just like them to reach Europe and make our efforts to stay above them in the league pretty much worthless. It would be interesting to see whether Rodgers (or his superiors) turn down a place if it does happen.
 
If Wigan get relegated they may pass up the opportunity of Europa League due to fixture overload. Why do they get a place regardless of winning the cup, isn't fair really, we've done it over a season and they have won a few games against lower league opposition and an Everton side on rush.

Not an excuse. The top 6 is almost always a Europa League place, now fair play if Wigan spring a surprise and win the cup, but it's wholly not right that just by making the final that they take a place off us who have done it over the course of the league season whilst they may well be relegated.
 
The few voices I've heard which are in favor of giving the FA-Cup winner the 4th placed League-team's CL-spot is the way to go imho. It would reinstall some much needed prestige to the FA Cup, as well as put some pressure on the Sky4.

The Cups should then always revert to the league placings.
 
It's a stupid system were using to assign Europe league slots. Cup winners yes - runners up No way should they get Europe.

If you want your league's best teams representing you in Europe, the league table defines those teams!
