It appears that no other Turkish team meets the requirements for European entry, based on club finances or quality of stadia, so the place has been withdrawn from the Turkish FA, and awarded to the European team with the highest coefficient.
Oh won't it be awesome if we win this year after getting in this way? It will drive everyone else mad.
Neville Southall's going spare on Twitter about it now! Liverpool will be announced as being in the CL at halftime
I had wondered after the ghost goal if God supported Liverpool but now I know. This just can't be true. Don't take offence but I refuse to believe it

If the Goons or anyone else are proud to qualify by default they can carry on. UEFA have deferred the decision till tomorrow...gives Platini time to make sure any decision does not favour an English team.
