UEFA Cup qualification still possible

Posted April 16th, 2008 by Colin Baker

It was brought up awhile ago that we could possibly qualify for Europe via the Fair Play table. Unfortunately, we quickly fell a few spots, making this possibility seem less likely. Now, we've made up some ground and are back within one place of qualification.

The way I look at it, there are 3 plausible ways we can qualify:

  • Fulham move ahead of Man City in Fair Play table.
  • Portsmouth wins FA Cup, Man City finishes 7th in the Premier League (currently 3 points behind Aston Villa) and wins Intertoto Cup.
  • Cardiff City wins FA Cup, but the FA denies UEFA Cup bid due to their being Welsh. Man City finishes 6th in the Premier League (currently 5 points behind 6th place Portsmouth).

There are others, but they are much less likely.
