Bayern won the Champions league back in 2001

Germany won the Euro 1996

Can someone help me depict this please? It's about whether Everton will get into Europe if Chelsea win the final.

Of course, what we know is that if Chelsea win the final then

1,2,3 get Champions league City, United, Arsenal

4 gets Europa league Spurs

5 gets Europa league Newcastle

Carling cup winner gets Europa league Liverpool

According to rules on the official site:

http://www.premierle...play-in-europe/

English winners of the UEFA Champions League who do not qualify through their domestic position go forward as Winners to the group stage, with the team finishing fourth dropping to the UEFA Europa League. In this case, the national association of the title-holder is entitled to one additional place in the UEFA Europa League.

So does that mean 7th place (i.e. at the moment Everton) will get an additional spot and the team will go into Europa league?

Well, like every rule ever made about football, it's not clear at all.

mata needs to play central imo. sturridge and kalou can track either robben or ribery's runs

U r Funny

[capriccioso 2,545]

Sturridge wouldn't bother to track even a snail's movement. Torres on the wing is a better suggestion. Or perhaps even *gulp* Malouda.

[Strike 7,478]

Ryan Bertrand will be MUCH BETTER than Sturridge OR Kalou (sorry Capri) on the wing. Left Mid I mean. Robben and Lahm on Bayern's right side will rip us apart with Sturridge or Kalou at LM. and also, we have seen that bertrand could go up and down the left flank all day, so its not like he doesnt carry an attacking threat

I agree with it. But both Robben and Ribery tends to cut inside and have a go. That's why we need a left footed player to stop Ribery , and a right footed one to stop Robben . The two players should help Bosingwa and Cole. That's the only way to stop Bayern's wing play IMO.

So who here is expecting the lineup we use against Blackburn to be a preview of our starting XI for the CL final?

It will most likely be the UCL lineup, it may be a missing a couple players but it should have most of our UCL players

i think the UCL final team shud be tried out tonight except the CB's. blackburn is hardly a big threat and Bosingwa/fereira/essien/hutchinson whoever starts at RB for the final would get some practice facing Bellamy (?) tonight

He isn't funny. Kalou is good at tracking back.

Funny is olaying two left backs. That's ultra negative

i meant Sturridge. ( his name is in bold in the quote) Sturridge on the right is suicide unless rdm gives him the hair-dryer and orders him to keep tracking back. even then, no guarantes

Making a starting 11 is fuckin complected now Sturridge and Ivanovic are out
