If the FA Cup final features two teams which qualify for the CL (e.g. Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd), who then gets the Europa League place from the FA Cup? Specifically - does it go to the 6th placed team in the league, or to the Capital One Cup losing finalist?
 
It first goes to the losing FA Cup finalist, and if they are already in Europe then it goes to the highest placed team in the league who isn't already qualified. The losing League Cup team only qualifies if the winner has already qualified through the league.
 
I'd rather be in one more competition with chances for the young and fringe players to develop and show what they can do. If that means we need to get in via a backdoor, so be it. We're in no position to be snobbish.
 
Never mind, lads, we're only just behind Arsenal at the top of the Fair Play League. Whoo-hoo!
 
Speaking of the Fair Play league, I can't believe Villa is actually worse than Stoke and Everton are actually 1 point ahead of us. You'd think with Fellaini in there, they'd do a lot worse. He has one red card in five seasons in the league. How is that possible?
 
If we don't finish high enough to qualify for Europe then we don't deserve to be there. I'm dreaming of the days we return to the champions league!
 
The sad thing is that after waiting for some genuinely determined and dangerous looking performances we start doing them just as it all closes for the season... You never know we might be miraculous in the league and go on a mad winning streak.

Far too patchy this season but at the same time when we've been good we've been very good.
 
Europe is massively important to us financially and terms of keeping players, I know we all love the age old "the league is our bread and butter", of course it is, but we can't dismiss the other. We should go all out now to finish as high as we can, I'd hate to see us go out with (another) whimper.

This break probably couldn't have come at a worse time either, we've finally got 'some' momentum.
 
Ha! I just realised I have no fucking clue what todays date is either... hold on it's only 8 days eh, and we've been proper busy this last ten days so maybe the rest wont be bad.

Either way it's been nice watching them recently, at least every other game it has.
 
Well, Stevie said that Luis was crying in the dressing room after the game. So being in Europe means something. Its another throphy to be won!
 
The last 10 minutes or so were really frustrating to watch, the urgency was lost and we were so preoccupied trying to keep possession that we just invited them onto us and the pressure grew. Luis had done all the hard work, not just him I know, but he'd got us the goals and must have been stood upfront thinking WTF. He looked utterly dejected at the final whistle.
 
To be honest Mark I think that in the last 10 minutes we were just fucked from the effort of the previous 80 minutes
 
I don't mean this as a dig, but if we'd rested Sterling a few weeks ago, properly, him coming on would have been really positive last night. It doesn't matter so much now but I still hope the lad finally gets a complete break for a week or two and comes back strong to finish the season. (For one match I'd quite like to see Rodgers push Johnson higher up and give McLaughlin a debut at RB.)
 
We have to hope he cares more about Liverpool in Europe than he does about Suarez in Europe or it's going to be a long, worrying close season (unless he moves early on, of course). I see Mancini has fired the starting gun already, openly stating today of his interest in signing him.

Did Mancini say which club he was interested in buying him for?

I was thinking the same. I'd like to see Assaidi and Coutinho get some playing time, and hopefully, show us what they can do. I'd not be averse to Sterling being given some games back with the U21s to end the season. Explain to him that we don't want to burn him out, and let him finish the season running rings around some weaker defences.
