    Just done a wee bit more research lad and due to Zoltan Gera's red card for fulham today, it "remains to be seen" whether them or Blackpool will get the spot.

    :56: haha, that's brilliant Fulham will be gutted! Who got sent off recorded MOTD but never watched it all, knew they drew 2-2 with the shiters right enough.

    On ssn last week it pretty much said "Fulham earn Europa League Place through Fair Play League"

    I'm pretty sure we'll qualify, even though it'll be tough

    Would be nice to get a run in this but wave goodbye to Saturday afternoon football...Thursday & Sunday for most of the season.

    How does everyone think we'll do in this?

    I reckon if we qualify we'll top our group and then it all depends on the draw for the knockout stages.

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Our team has yet to prove themselves in Europe. Yes we have a very promising squad and a terrific manager but last year we were beaten 3-0 and 4-0 away from home. We need a commanding CB pairing. We also need a big target man and a new keeper. If we can get those players then we are halfway on the road to a good run. I think Sammy could be very valuable for us as he plays the lone striker role very well. I think we will just scrape into the group stages and then probably qualify in 3rd place. I hope that, if we do get into the group stages, Parkhead will be near to full. Those games at home to Rapid, Hamburg and Happoel were dire season before last. I love the Europa League though as there are quite big away crowds which add to the atmosphere.

    Unless we bring in 2 CB's and replace Brown in our midfield we won't qualify.

    The thought of some of these teams running at Maj and Mulgrew in the centre of our defence gives me nightmares and Brown will never have the technical ability for this standard of football.

    The same guy that was embarrassingly hooked by Lenny in the midst of the shame in Utrecht, after charging about contributing nothing but stupid tackles, mis-placed passes and a booking?

    The same guy that when he was injured we drew three games in a row? as soon as he came back we started winning again?

    The team was totally different back last year in the qualifiers, weren't gelled at all. We're a gelled team now and we can only get better.
