We are entitled to three English teams, I can only see Arsenal and Everton. Arsenal are in the FA Cup and are already qualified, Chelsea are already in the Champions League. Surely we should qualify either as eighth or Runners Up in the League Cup, it is absolutely unfair.
Not sure we want to be involved in qualifying this summer....let the players have their break and then do a good preseason. Hard enough to start when we did this season....resulted in a crowded schedule...but qualifying means an even earlier start.
 
I don't think it is any accident that Saints played so many of their young Academy kids in the first team squad that the other U21s found themselves relegated: http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/academy/premier-league-2-table/

Incidentally, Spurs just squeaked it.
The Saints' attitude is that results don't matter....only learning from the experience etc etc....but I bet Academy pride is hurt. Like to be a fly on the wall for the post-season review. And the opposition will be lower....though I'm sure it will still be competitive. In the end, I doubt it will make much difference....though I'm sure Les will expect a rapid promotion.
 
Perfect start for the neutral, reckon we could have a good final here.
 
Genuine Q - if Ramsey who was offside moved towards the ball, which he did, then stopped as Sanchez shot, does that not count as offside?
Nope. He moved slightly towards the ball but stopped before touching it. He didn't prevent a Chelsea player from blocking Sanchez's shot nor was he interfering with Courtois.
