Robert the Spud Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I finish 6th in the EPL. 3rd place won the FA cup, so surely the last Europa league pace goes to me, right? It's not showing up on the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesbeams Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Goes to the runner up doesnt it? though i may be wrong If you qualified for Europe you should have gotten a news item about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Spud Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 So Notts Forest get a Europa league place for 2nd place in a cup? I thought 5th/6th/league cup winners and fa cup winner qualify, but since Chelsea won the fA cup it would go to the 6th placed team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisso Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 There are only 3 places in the Europa League, - 5th in the League - FA Cup Winner - Carling Cup Winner If Carling Cup winner qualifies via the League, then that place goes to 6th in the League, if the FA Cup winner has already qualified, then it goes to the runner-up. If they've already qualified, it goes to the League. So, compared to real life this season, Birmingham won the Carling Cup, so 7th place will not qualify for the Europa League. It's very unlikely that 6th place will result in qualification this year, because a final of Man Utd/Man City vs Stoke/Bolton means if Stoke or Bolton win the FA Cup, they qualify, if Stoke or Bolton are FA Cup runners up, they qualify. So in short, Yes, Nottingham Forest qualified by being the FA Cup runners up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jops14 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 No it would go to the runners up in the cup i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisso Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 If you think that's destroying, try qualifying for the Champions League in 4th place after a very long season, only to discover that the Champions League final is between Man City and Chelsea, who didn't qualifiy. My place with Everton was promptly taken away from me and handed to the winners, Man City Ironic really, i've got Liverpool to thank for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
