Oh ok, he wasn't pulled up on that, but the BBC you never know lol

runners up no longer get european place.

 

and by 'we' does he mean Leicester- because if they finish 7th then yes they will most likely get a European place if United or Spurs or Chelsea win it.

Rule was changed a couple of years ago. Winners only.

As we would have been last year, the likes of Leicester, Burnley and Everton will want anyone but us to win the cup.

No the we was we lol. He was bemoaning that Leicester if they had won today, would have been playing us in the Semi final and the winner would be in the Europa league. H e apparently was wrong and so we have to win thecup to get into the Europa

We benefited from the rule change when Villa made it to the FA cup final in 2015 IIRC.

'If the FA Cup winners finish in the top five of the Premier League, their UEL group stage place will go to the next-highest ranked team not qualified for UEFA competitions in the Premier League.'
