EUROPE.

Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:37 pm

I need someone who actually knows 100% to answer me this question.

If Man City or Liverpool get a European spot via the league (which is likely) does that leave Cardiff open to get a European spot via the league cup final?? Hmmmmmm

Iv'e heard many answers before but have no idea which is right.

No. Only Carling cup winners get europe spot.

Euro spot now goes to best placed in league probably 6th - depending on fa cup where runners up do get euro spot

Spot on :ayatollah: - There is more of a chance of the Jacks getting into europe on the fair play rule...even if they go down !!

Shocking rules which need to be looked at ( IMO ) :ayatollah:

Its a shit rule! So Swansea could finish 8th and get into Europe because we got into the final, didnt win it so that freed up a spot for them or any other club to get a free pass...its shit that!

If I remember rightly, Cardiff and Swansea are now goverened by the English FA, and not the FAW. sure I read they changed over before the beginning of this season.

Re: EUROPE.

Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:55 pm

if you win it i would say the f.a would let you enter europe.surely the welsh clubs would be informed at the start of the cup where they stood on this.you,ve defo got to win this to get in europe though.we went through all this before last years final with arsenal.didn,t matter in the end cos we won it...its one game over 90/120 mins.whitts won,t be out of place whoever your facing.

Re: EUROPE.

Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:55 pm

If you win the cup then you're in Europe. If not, the place goes to the premier league... It's that simple, well done tonight...

But if we win it we are in.

Don't think I'm nuts here but Brum beat a top arsenal side last season with a team not good enough to stay in the prem.
Liverpool just got beat by Bolton and sunderland beat Man C.

If we did get those 2 or 3 quality players (not cup tied) -we could have a team out that have a chance here guys :ayatollah:

not wrong! Although I speak for most of us when I say we'd prefer Liverpool, they have weaknesses at the moment, I hope their form gets worse and Bellamy and Gerrard get injured.
