Top 4 chance now gone? Europa Thoughts?

Just to confirm (in sure it's been asked countless times already), but do runners up in the cup get Europe anymore? Would it still open a place up to 7th in the league if Arsenal beat Villa in the final?

 

Yep. Arsenal would beat villa in the final IMO

Don't we need Liverpool to win to guarantee Europa League football next season???

 

Please keep up. This has been done to death on here.

 

Latest proof.

Can someone tell me how the hell Newcastle have got 35 points this season? They are so ****

 

Spurs are not much better. Bit of a nothing game. They had a great run of result, which has saved them this season. Pretty tosh either side.

So is Rogers still an incredible tactician? He is a clown who will hopefully be shown the door soon, cannot stand the bloke. The way he's used Lambert this season is nothing short of a disgrace.

 

We just need to make sure we finish 5th or 6th, sod sitting through the final supporting Arsenal.

Fair play Villa and Sherwoo, done great. Don't know what's happened to Liverpool in the last few weeks.

 

It is quite funny though. We just need to focus on our job in the next 5 games and try and finish 5th or 6th. If not come on you gunners!

Good Villa performance. Liverpool were woeful.

 

Rather than hope Arsenal win the final I suppose Saints could actually try scoring some goals and try winning a few games.

 

May give us a kick up the Harris knowing we cant rely on other teams results

How on earth anyone is torn on something like is baffling the hell out of me.

 

European football would be something to look forward to all summer, a genuine achievement and a step forward for the club.

 

And you're "torn" about preferring to have a two minute chortle at the manager and players of another club who have nothing to do with us?

 

I'd happily see Liverpool win the cup 10 - nil if it got us what we want.

 

Well I've spent the entire afternoon "supporting" Liverpool as I wish to go travel to lots of European away trips next year, (it was better than listening to Hampshire's latest batting collapse) and I have come to the inescapable conclusion, that whatever I wished for, had no bearing whatsoever on the final outcome.

 

I will now open a bottle and pi ss myself stupid at Lovren and Smugface's sorrow.

So does this mean that we are not going to be in the champions league or the Europa league? I can see villa winning the FA Cup, arguably meaning they will have had a better season than us.

 

Spurs winning 3 - 1 as well. Think things are starting to peter out somewhat.

This weekends results have really put yesterday's loss into perspective. It's potentially all over.

 

The Spurs game is massive.

Well that's certainly some leap you've made there. 9 points ahead of 8th place and its its still much more likely than not that Arsenal will win the FA Cup.

Plus a 25 goal swing in goal difference.

Or how about the old fashioned idea that we win a trophy and then go in to Europe. Winning something seems to be a concept people have difficulty grasping probably due to only winning one trophy in our entire history.

That would be a better way to grow the club and it would be good for the fans and some of us would then be less concerned with the consequences.

If the Europa league was so good for Swansea and Everton how on earth are we 7th without ever being in it.

Of course I would like to see us play the teams you mention but we would need to get past an awful lot of dross to play them.

You seem to be "having difficulty grasping" how Swansea qualified for Europe.

What trophy can we still win this season exactly? I'd love to win something too, but I still believe a certain MP blew our best chance of a final last season.

 

Finishing in a European place is kind of like reaching a final for a club like us. We will hopefully have a decent run in a cup within the next season or so, but I'd say finishing in a European place via a league position is going to offer the club a lot more growth, as opposed to winning a cup and finishing in the bottom half - or being relegated.

The UEFA Cup predominantly existed for English clubs to qualify for Europe without actually winning anything. Champions went into the European Cup, FA Cup winners into the Cup Winners Cup. It's hardly a new phenomenon that winning nothing qualified you for Europe. Same for the Champions League these days.
