Can we still get in to the Europa league by topping the fair play league this season, if so things are looking good at the moment fair play http://soccernet.espn.go.com/stats/fairplay/_/league/eng.1/barclays-premier-league?cc=5739 Cheers Mabon
we have been top nearly all season marbon. we will win something to put in the trophy cabinet this season anyway...
It doesn't matter where we finish to be 'fair'. If the Premier League does not come in the best 3 leagues for fairplay across Europe, we could be a team of Mother Theresa's and not make it to Europe. The last time I saw the actual stats, England were 9th. The way the card happy refs have been throwing reds/yellows about in the matches with the other teams mean this will not change much. England have qualified in the top three countries for 7 of the last 17 seasons and then a Welsh team goes top..... one for the conspiracy theorists! Forget Europe ..... it's not going to happen (sorry)
Just found the last released country standings on the UEFA site http://www.uefa.com//MultimediaFiles/Download/uefaorg/Respect/01/74/16/83/1741683_DOWNLOAD.pdfq Book your family holidays guys, as we arent off to Europe.
Seems a bit harsh as a few of those clubs havn't even played half the games we have over here. Never mind, didn't want Europe next season, we need to focus on PL survival for that magic second season, then I'll believe were here to stay.
Wouldn't want us anywhere near Europe to be honest our priority should be to become a regular PL team over the next several seasons and go on from there.
Being top of the fair play league means nothing, doesn't mean we go to Europe at all, as far as I understand it! Might be wrong though................... please log in to view this image
