    As the title suggests, would you like us to qualify for the Europa League? And if yes how would you like us to qualify for the competition?
    By being an FA Cup finalist vs a team already qualified for Europe through their league position (Top 5)?
    Or by finishing 7th and hoping that the FA Cup finalists and the League Cup winner are in the Top 5 ?

    I think our Europa League dreams have taken a hit looking at how the bigguns are falling out of the competition like flies.

    I'd love us to qualify. Would just give us that extra edge when it comes to attracting players. Also the financial bonus would be good and also there'd be some extra bragging rights.

    As for how we qualify I'd prefer it to be a 7th place finsh. I know there's no gaurentee that we'd qualify from finishing there but i can't stand the though of losing out and finsihing below one of the teams just behind us

    Qulaifying via the cup would be fantastic. We get a cup, Europe (helps keep our best players) and wont finish outside top 10 anyway at this rate.

    Would much rather finish 10th and get a cup than get to 7th.

    I'll take top 6 and the FA cup, thanks <diva> (Or the cup and a top 8 finish, wouldn't want to slide down to 9th/10th)

    As far as I'm concerned top 10 was the original aim and top 10 will do me...I'll be dissapointed to see us slip but a season takes place over 38 games and as we know only too well, its not over at xmas!

    As for Europe, with our current first team, we're 2/3 additions away from being a truly top team!

    Krul
    Santon, Staylor, Colo, ???
    ???/Ben Arfa Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas,
    ????/Ben Arfa
    Ba

    Need to sign up Colo and Simpson and get 3/4 decent squad players to compete in Europe for me! Having said that, if we did go through, a cup wouldn't be too bad!

    Think of it this way, both methods get us into Europe but people remember cup winners, not who comes 7th in the league. Adds some prestige and pride to the club, I hope we take the FA Cup very seriously.

    would say we're not ready yet but if we do make it hopefully it'll push the fat one to massively improve the squad in the summer as this squad won't cope

    Jesus was a geordie santon on either side of the cbs. We have the makings of a very good side. If we got another top striker in and ben arfa played on the right we'd be much more of a threat attacking i think

    More like asking them if they'd rather a POV film, a celeb sex tape, or some dominatrix ****.

    I would be happy if we finish 7th/8th but not get into Europa maybe until next season as I really think we are not ready squad depth wise to complete in Europe tbh. It would be detrimental to our league and cup campaigns.
