    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.

    As pleased as I am with the result, I think I'll pass on watching United lift the trophy.

    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!

    Glad too for Rooney as he has never won it. He's never won a European Championship with England either.... :)

    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.

    This is what we didn't want to see today, scenes which take us back to the 80's

    On the one hand, yay!

    On the other hand, hmmm. If only there was a way for Palace to win and still get the European result? Ah well.

    Indeed. If it had made no difference to our qualification status I would have wanted Palace to have won that, all day.. Down side is that WHU enter the qualification stage of the Europa. Almost taints the competition for me. ;)
