Doesn't mean anything to us.

Place will go to the team in the PL (with out European football) with the best fair play rating.

Last time I looked Westham and Burnley were top.

Love the thought of wet spam spending July trekking round Europe picking up injuries.

Or send the kids to the playoff round and get knocked out? Poch has said it's not a priority next year, let's just chill out midweek and train for the PL then.

Only just realised the 3rd Quali round would mean an extra 4 games to play...

So, we could be in the position of having to cheer on Arsenal in the cup final to avoid having to play a 2-leg qualifying round and a 2-leg playoff :banghead:

Finish 5th
  • Straight into group stages

Finish 6th
  • Arsenal win FA Cup - Group Stages
  • Villa win FA Cup - 3rd Qualifying Round & then play-off before group stage

Finish 7th
  • Arsenal win FA Cup - 3rd Qualifying Round & then play-off before group stage
  • Villa win FA Cup - No Europe

If we finish 6th (which I think we will) then I'll be enthusiastically cheering on Aston Villa in the FA Cup final, as I don't think the potential impact of 4 extra games next season (the first 2 of which presumably being against some real cannon fodder) will be worse than the Goons getting further away from us in terms of FA Cup wins. If we finish 7th then I'll just about be rooting for an Arsenal win (through gritted teeth).

Let's finish 5th! (Not going to happen... :()

Well, we finished 5th! Straight into the group stage. Extremely handy for the start of next season that our European campaign doesn't begin until late September.

Oh, and West Ham's season now starts on July 2nd... :D:D:D
