The search, at the FA website, gave us
"... The UEFA Champions League is open to each national association's ... just behind them in the domestic championship table ... by an association and their entry point in ... "
Which suggested we had a result.

I'm finding it hard to find another similarly limited page.

It would make sense for the FA to have already made their position clear (that Arsenal would go thro' and Spurs would go into the UEFA cup, as everyone seems to have assumed).
However, I can't find a statement from the FA to this effect.
In fact you could say, you've got sweet FA, from the FA :pinch:Quote:

Rule 1.03 regarding qualifying teams makes reference to it. It only really effects countries with 4 places though.
Maybe the FA have already said what they will do if it happens, which is why I was looking on their website. I thought it was really funny that page was unavailable. As if someone had thought, shit we dont want commited on this one.
Im pretty sure the fa have said if someone finishes outside the champions league places but wins it they will go forward in place of the person in 4th. sorry cant find any url to confirm it though.

Arsenal winning the Champions League would be a nightmare. It would be horrific if we finished fourth and weren't in it, watching some team from one of those tiny little countries playing in the Champions League.

I'd love it, love it, if Spurs finished fourth but were denied their Champions League debut.
That brought a smile to my face when I read it, then I punched myself in the face for smiling at Newcastle's choking the title race.Quote:

yeah that must have been one of them ghey 100 greatest football moment's as voted for by people on the dole shows.
They let Liverpool go though this year to Champions League so be very unfair if Arsenal didn't go though next year.But Arsenal got to win it first.
Yes Arsenal though too the final won 1.0.yepheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
