Wouldn't it be 3 seeing as Man City will already be in Europe so winning the LC won't matter in that regard. Or is it the FA Cup would mean there's 3 if Arsenal win? I can't remember.

It's meant to be one via the league and one via each cup but the cups usually get handed over to the league
if arsenal win the fa cup then whoever they beat in the final will get the place and citys place for winning LC is going to 6th place regardless

Genuinely don't think we'll win the cup, with the injuries we have at the moment we can't break teams down and that's exactly how every team left would play against us anyway. Expecting at least one of the 3 remaining games to go to penalties and I just hope it doesn't involve us.
Hull the best of the rest.

5th place gets Europa League
League Cup winners get Europa League. If they're already in Europe, then 6th gets Europe. Runners up of League Cup do not get a Europa League spot.
FA Cup winners get Europa League. If they're already in Europe, then the runners up get Europe instead. Only if both the winners and runners up are in Europe does the league get the Europa League spot.
In this case, if Arsenal win, then Hull or Sheffield Utd will be in Europe. So only 5th and 6th in the league will get Europa League spots. Unless England gets a fair play ticket.

The prospect of us being in Europe and Man United not being there is glorious. Even moreso because we have Bruce, Chester, McShane, Dudgeon and Brady who are all former players on their books. Not to mention super Steve himself.

City to win the league, PSG to win the CL would be my left-field choice, give Ibra and Thiago Silva the silverware that they deserve.

Yup. I backed them at 20/1 about a month ago, maybe more, it was before they thumped Arsenal whenever that was. Stupid Paddy Power. Most entertaining and dangerous team this year imo. All big remaining games are at home and they are capable of winning every game between now and the end of the season, I couldnt honestly say that about any of the rest of them. Hope they do. Then I hope Roy Hodgson does me a favor and starts Sturridge in every game at the world cup so the €1.78 @ 66/1 I have of him being the top scorer is worth the effort. The rest... I dont care. I'm just fucked off that we're probably going to finish above Man United (barring a miracle on their side, we're still shit enough to finish above them) but it wont win us the league. I've had that theory in my head since I was a kid, and when it happens, it doesnt actually work because instead of us actually becoming a great side they just became a shit side. I hate you football, I hate you so much. Elsewhere.... The Ducks will win the Stanley Cup, or the conference at least, the Blues aint that great.
