I have heard that the EL winner gets a place in next years competition but if they don't qualify through league or cup they get an extra place.
They ought to give the winners a CL place, it would make every team take the competition seriously.

From UEFA regs pdf
Titleholder
2.06 Unless the UEFA Europa League titleholder qualifies for the UEFA Champions League through its domestic championship, it is guaranteed a place in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. If the titleholder qualifies for the UEFA Europa League through its domestic competitions, the number of places to which its association is entitled in the UEFA Europa League does not change. If the UEFA Europa League titleholder does not qualify for either the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League through its domestic competitions, its participation in the UEFA Europa League is not at the expense of the contingent of its association.
Do we care about the Everton / City game. It depends if you think we can catch City and or Everton can catch us? A draw I think.
We want to see as many bookings, sending offs and injuries as we still have to play them both.

What I said then.
Dzeko with a horrible dive and yet again it's unpunished. Very cowardly from Probert, as it would've been his 2nd yellow.
Red card -Pienaar!![]()
Booked Osman for time wasting delaying Citeh when it seemed like he had given the freekick to Everton!!!
