I’m looking forward to the classic “this group of players are too good to go down” next season ala that great (aka shit) West Ham team! Bloody Woolwich Rejects!
arsenal not getting European football ( which is looking likely - as there a team of losers who wont win the Europa ) west ham or palace could go down, admittedly the latter would be preferable if i cant have both.

I think they're guaranteed Europa League football because they were runners up to Man City in the league cup

I know FA Cup runners-up used to get the spot in the Cup-Winners' Cup but do runners-up still get the European spot these days? I thought they now reverted to the next spot in the Premier League.
(Before anyone shoots me down I don't know for certain!)

From memory, I think the league cup.place goes back to the premiership if the winners qualify for Europe via another route

Pretty sure that's the case. I don't think the League cup losers have qualified for a long time, if ever
Last year Man Utd beat Southampton in the final but, having already qualified for the Champions' (sic) League the Europa League spot passed to highest-placed Premier League team who had not already qualified for Europe, which was seventh-placed Everton (and didn't they make a great fist of it).
Conclusion: no European footy for Arsenal next year ... yet.

They used to sing, “Thursday night, channel 5” to Spurs or any other team qualifying for the Europa cup. I enjoyed reminding my arsenal supporting mate from deepest Maidstone.
I look at Wenger now at his body language on the touchline and in interviews and I am seriously starting to worry for his own health. It cannot be good for either his heart rate or blood pressure and for a man his age in his late 60s (in such a high pressure stress situation) it cannot be very good for him at all.

And then he reflects on his 9mil annual salary whilst sitting in his North London mansion, drinking his favourite bottle of Bordeaux and all suddenly feels rosy again!
No sympathy for him at all. He's minted and he's allowed himself to become an arrogant autocrat at that club. If he doesn't feel well or is stressed out he can just walk away and retire to his Château in the Loire Valley!
Yeah they changed the rules a few years ago so that FA Cup Runners Up dont get a place
that seems ridiculous as i rate the fa higher than the league cup
But the Premier League trumps everything, apparently. I'm surprised they haven't also brought in a rule to ban lower league teams beat the Premier League clubs.
What's even worse is that the PL teams who enter the Europa League then give the comp the same sort of respect as they do the League Cup's early rounds, fielding weakened teams as the League is more important, moaning how Thursday-Sunday matches messes up their season ... aw, diddums. If you don't want the disruption, don't enter the comp, let someone else who will value it have the spot instead.

That works in the FA Cup but I think it means an extra league place if the winners of the League Cup win the title.

I regret selling that to him now....
Is that really his gaff?
He looks like he’s living like the king of France, no wonder he won’t go quietly!
actually didnt millwall get through for being runners up in the fa not the league cup
Yes, the season we came 7th in the prem, if the current rules applied then, I think we would have qualified for the uefa cup, possibly
Not quite.
Arsenal (unbeaten champs), Chelsea, Man Utd, and Liverpool qualified for the Champions' (sic) League.
The UEFA Cup qualifiers were Newcastle (fifth in the league), Boro (League Cup winners), and the Spanners (FA Cup runners-up having lost to the first decent team they'd face in the comp, Man U).
If the FA Cup place had reverted to the league it would have gone to sixth-placed Villa ahead of us.

Oh sorry, mis-read the post ...

Runner-Ups dont take that spot (what with Man City being in the Champions League next season).
Means that instead of the Europa League Qualifiers being: 5th | League Cup Winners | FA Cup Winners it becomes... 5th | 6th | FA Cup Winners
Also means that if Burnley can hold 7th with Man Utd or Chelsea winning the FA Cup, they'll be in Europe next season themselves
Last year Man Utd beat Southampton in the final but, having already qualified for the Champions' (sic) League the Europa League spot passed to highest-placed Premier League team who had not already qualified for Europe, which was seventh-placed Everton (and didn't they make a great fist of it).
