Yellabelly, even should Chelsea win and yet drop down to finish 5th, I'm still fairly sure you're mistaken. 5th is automatic qualification for Europa League and a later entrance to the competition than that given by qualification by the FA Cup. They would pick up that spot and defer the cup finalists (which strangely only ever applies to the FA Cup and never the League Cup) to their cup spot instead.

@pbush77...you're wrong, if chelsea win the cup and finish 5th in the league, one of the 'smaller clubs' will not be in europe next season

Following on from pbush77 comment, if by some freak result one of those teams were to win, then assuming some who say the FA cup winner should get a Champions League place we would be looking at them in that competition. Gadzooks.

Anybody else realised that this means one of the "smaller" three clubs will definitely be playing in Europe next year? Millwall, Blackburn, or Wigan definitely in the cup final and either of their potential opponents will definitely qualify for the Champions League. Wigan in the Europa League... I never thought I'd see the day.

m absolutely disgusted that I've been misquoted in saying that if a chance came up to join Arsenal I would be interested. What I meant to say is if Man United or Chelsea were interested......

s there a PR agency covering Begovich, Odemwingie, Steven Fletcher and Grant Holt or something? Why would you offer a quote like that without having been announced by either club. #headsshoulderskneesandtoesgone
