We're all going on a European tour <diva>

Anyone know what seed we will be? 3rd/4th I assume?

We'd need to be one of the top 24 teams to be a 2nd seed (or top 12 teams to be a 1st seed). At present it looks like there are nine sides in the group stage with a better coefficient than us and 11 sides in the various rounds of qualifying with a better coefficient than us. But to that you still need to consider the remaining group stage entrants, qualifying entrants, and CL qualifying knock-outs - some of whom will also have better coefficients than us. But how many, I don't know.

I'm glad in a way that Rooneys won one as well. Quite mad that he's never won it before.

Think United deserved it too, Palace were poor n reckon they will struggle next year

Agree on everything except the referee. He gets a 6. Decent performance after the first half.

Likely to be 3rd then? Should give us a shot.

I'm just so happy that we've got proper European football to look forward to :)

That's harsh. The singer missed her cue because of technical difficulties!

Just wikid it (geeky I know) Our coefficient is solid pot 3 for 4 out of the last 5 seasons, except 2013-14 when we would be pot 2.

What the hell, let's go even further back! That's the only season we wouldn't be pot 3 since 2009 when they changed the system.

It's a weird rule that refs can only ref one fa cup final
