If teams that earn X million from TV deals, and Y million for each place they finish higher up in the league are really throwing games to avoid the Europa league for financial reasons, and if the fans of those clubs are content to put up with it, we really are in a sorry state.
well slim chance I know but we might have a Sunday game if they play Europa league on a Thursday
Is this really worth a new thread ?
Which existing thread would the hypothetical possibility of Burnley possibly getting a Europa Cup spot in odd circumstances which will almost certainly have no impact at all on Charlton (and will probably/certainly never happen anyway) fit into ?
more likely to happen than not England have been given an extra spot Liverpool will finish in the top 7 so Burnley who will be in the championship next season have as much of a chance as West Ham and Everton
So a one in three chance is more likely to happen than not ?
Please never gamble.
more likely than before this was announced and they have as much chance as the other 2
So it isn't "more likely than not" then ?
P.S - I'm just going to see how long you can try and defend an un-defendable comment
you comment is more un-defendable as I said you saying it will probably/certainly never happen is completely wrong, making it sound like a 1 in a million chance rather than a 1 in 3
if someone said you have a 1 in 3 chance of winning the lottery I would love them odds
But if you had a 1 in 3 chance of anything lottery/Europa/Katy Perry it would still be more unlikely to happen than it would be to happen - that's objectively and statistically true.
Again, Ladbrokes are not your friend.
Over 800 comments on the "Sport of Kings..." thread would suggest that some people think they are mate?
A list of some of the teams Burnley may (but probably will not) face on their journey to qualification for the Europa League group phase.
Neftchi Baku Aktobe Strømsgodset Shamrock Rovers Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino Aberdeen St Patrick's Athletic Trencin HB Birkirkara Pyunik Odd Sillamae Kalev Lusitanos Vikingur Reykjavik Jelgava Atlantas Glenavon Glentoran Linfield Gabala Airbus UK Broughton Cork City Kruoja Pakruojis Trakai UCD Bala Town Folgore NSI Runavik VPS
Maybe we can follow Burnley's qualification campaign throughout the summer ? Even they don't get the Fair Play spot (and they won't get the Fair Play spot) we could follow them on a theoretical qualification run.
In summary he said we may have an extra Europa League place, and that Burnley were in contention and that it may affect when we play them as they are in our division next year.
We did get that extra place, but West Ham got it not Burnley so doesnt affect us a club.
Cheers MOL. I didnt read the whole thing to be honest as i spent most of my time this morning engrossed in the "how do you wipe your bum" thread. I did gather from the 1st page of this one though that Paulie loves to defend himself til the cows come home.
