Despise Newcastle so much, so glad they lost.

I imagine brennan spends more time checking his facts, tbh.

There are three places for English (or Welsh) teams up for grabs in next season’s Europa League. Swansea were the first team to book their appearance when they lifted the Capital One Cup, and the second will go to fifth place in the Premier League.
The third and final place then goes to the FA Cup winners or, if they have already qualified for Europe, to the competition’s runners up.

BRENNEN GOT OWNED

UEFA rules:

Here you go;

Redistribution rules
A Europa League place is vacated when a team qualifies for both the Champions League and the Europa League, or qualifies for the Europa League by more than one method. When a place is vacated, it is redistributed within the national association by the following rules:
When the domestic cup winners (considered as the "highest-placed" qualifier within the national association with the latest starting round) also qualify for the Champions League, their Europa League place is vacated. As a result, either of the following teams qualify for the Europa League:
The domestic cup runners-up, provided they have not yet qualified for European competitions, qualify for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier (with the earliest starting round), with the other Europa League qualifiers moved up one "place".
Otherwise, the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one "place".
When the domestic cup winners also qualify for the Europa League through league position, their place through the league position is vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one "place" if possible.
For associations where a Europa League place is reserved for the League Cup winners, they always qualify for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier (or as the second "lowest-placed" qualifier in cases where the cup runners-up qualify as stated above). If the League Cup winners have already qualified for European competitions through other methods, this reserved Europa League place is taken by the highest-placed league team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions.
A Fair Play place is taken by the highest-ranked team in the domestic Fair Play table which have not yet qualified for European competitions.

So no.

*sigh*

[Poor language removed] off Chelsea.

 

[Azzurri]

Great header. Horrendous defending.

 

[Pat's Van]

someone's scored lads, someone scored for city, another one

it's 2-0

 

[toffeejack]

chelsea won't win this btw because we're counting on them. they're just one of those teams who never do us a favour (like norwich). they also constantly lose to the RS and beat us in the biggest games. They'll probably go and win the europa though as that doesn't affect us

#oraula

always happens, not that we should, but we can never count on anyone to do us a favour. will be great to see chelsea go trophyless though

OOOOOHH Rafael BENITEZ

 

[DanEFC92]

Have the utmost contempt for the pair of them.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

It's irrelevant now anyway 2-0 to city, so the pie eaters get the place

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

So far this year, Scottish Cup Semi Finals > FA Cup Semi Finals

 

[Brennan]

How can Chelsea commit so many men forward and still be so poor in the final third ? Madness.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

I've got a wedge resting on both teams scoring Brennan which guarantees Chelsea being as toothless as me nan

 

[Duncan Disordely]

I'd fancy us against this Chelsea team last game of the season. Imagine if they get knocked out of Europe as well so have no chance of winning anything how toxic the atmosphere could be.

because they've been training all week hoping for 0-0. they've only practiced defending and pens
