Yeah Millwank got it in 2004 didn't they.

 

[kained&able]

yeah i know that but millwall were runners up to man united a few years back(2005??) and didn't get the place.

Oh they actually did try and do the qualifying round and fucked it. Didin't know that.

Confusion gone.

So who is going to start the thread next season. I'm not one for omens etc but I'm not gonna get blamed for hexing it again. Superstition is bollocks, but best to be on the safe side eh?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I've started the last two and they've been top ten finishes, but which thread starter could be the one to help us really push on? Perhaps a less frequent poster? SK? Linerider? Want to do the honours either of you two? Or even hammerntongues (not seen him on here in ages)?

 

[bluestreak]

spuds can fuck off tbh

Quoted again because I enjoyed it so much the first time around.

 

[hammerntongues]

In our hour of need I feel the call , let the fun begin .................

 

[Stobart Stopper]

Well our in-form striker is out of the game against Bolton tomorrow..

oh shit..

(Kevin this is btw)

Don't try to fool me with your post about seeing your brother fall down the stairs. Little shit.
I knew you'd registered. Don't mess about or the Editor will ban you for good.

wrong thread dave.

 

[kained&able]

well why the fuck was this one still about then

 

[mattie]

Although I would prefer it if we could go back to last season.

 

[Sesquipedalian]

Hmmmm........time travel...............

 

[el-ahrairah]

Least ambitious time travellers ever. Yeah, let's all go back to last season where we had a bit of hope that this season might be ok but we didnt actually achieve anything except a bit of hope. Whoop de.

 

[kained&able]

yeah allright i fucking forgot what year it was i'm an idiot.

 

[bigbry]

yeah yeah it does, like i said big teams contesting fa and carling cup.


In theroy prem got top 4 champions league. 1 place to fa cup winners, 1 place to carling cup winners, 1 place to league for europa league.

Man united won carling cup so that place went to league.

Fa cup is contested by two teams allready in europe so that place goes to league giving 7th place in the league a europa spot.

I'm never quite sure what goes on with the runner up of the fa cup. Thats how we got in last time but i'm not sure if thats always the case or only the case if they are prmeirship or what. Carling cup runners up don't get no love, I know that much.

Oh the last bit of my previous post is wrong. For england to lose a european place it would have to be us only having three championsleague spots availible, which i think is calculated over a 3/4 year period by the form of the clubs involved, so no chance of that going anywhere for a long time.

I think, its all quite confusing!


dave

IMO cup runners up shouldn't get a European place - you shouldn't get anything for losing the final. I could understand it when it was the Cup Winners Cup 'cos you've got to put someone in to represent the country.
The seventh place team in the Premiership had done more than a Carling Cup beaten finalist IMO.
