    I heard lastnight that we are top of the fair play league table and this may present us a chance to play in europe this season?

    I've not got the time trawl through the internet to find out about it, does anyone know about it and if it's the Europa league or CL? Sorry if it seems a dumb question but I really have no idea about it.

    It is looking good that we will win it that's all.

    we must be near the top, not many more than 10 yellows and no reds.

    there are other factors in the fair play calculation as well, not only cards.

    Wining it does not automatically get a place in Europe, there are other factors as well i believe - England doesn't always win a place through it

    the team at the top is put into a draw with other teams in Europe, I think it's the first three teams drawn out of the hat!

    So that's what it has come to these days for unfasionable teams to get a chance of playing in europe. Drawing balls out of a hat.

    Great quote from yesterdays FA cup draw though "ok Ledley please emtpy your balls into the jar"

    I think it would be a hindrance anyway, would probably cost us money to compete in it as well as stretch our squad.

    Much as I'd love European football, this method of qualification is berift of any merit whatsoever.

    fulham fans weren't too bothered by this when they got to the Europa League final.

    That maybe, but with all the talk of the downgrading of the tournament over the years, stupid qualification ideas like this detract even further
