official we must finish 4th to get back in the champions league just on bbc sport

Could see it coming really. We'll just have to win the UEFA Cup next season

Do you know what i reckon we should put our reserves out on uefa see how they geton .Then just concentrate on the premiership,Fa Cup and league cup instead of getting our players injured for the league.I reckon we will finish 4th anyway.

The FA have shot themselves in the foot

Everton won't make it past the qualifying round if they get 4th and will end up in the uefa with us. Then we'll knock them out of that as well!

Well at the end of the day we still would of had to have WON the Champions League which i think alot of people are forgetting we have NOT done yet.

And secondly the race for fourth is not over yet. If we beat Arsenal then it opens it up wide open again as everton still need to play Arsenal & Bolton.

Yeah lets get the thing won and then we can stir it up.

Jesus though what an bunch of spineless w4nkers... what will the rest of Europe think?

In fairness to the FA it's UEFA's cop out that has caused this mess. If they had just given the Champions the right to defend their trophy then this wouldn't have happened. At the start of the season the FA said top 4 get the CL spots... if we don't finish in the Top 4 that's not the FA's fault.

is it true that one of the board members that made the decision today is the BOLTON chairman?

look at the rules last year.

ABSOLUTE DISGRACE :veryangry

The FA are bloody hypocrites. :veryangry

Last year they said that if Chelsea or Arsenal where to win the Champions League, then the 4th placed team (i.e us) would go directly into the UEFA cup.....How things change in 12 months eh :veryangry

Everton are having a season like Real sociedad had in Spain 2 years ago....Real Sociedad are back to where they belong, same will happen to Everton next season....

Everton will be an even bigger FAT JOKE next year when they get knoecked FLAT OUT in the qualifying round....

BWUAH!! :veryangry

If they don't get past qualifiers, do they still play in UEFA Cup?

Can see a Everton or a Bolton get beaten by an eastern European team and put English football to shame. Who gives a f*uck? We will win CL this season. Next season we rightly should concentrate on the Premiership anyway. The gap between us and Chelsea this season is a bit embarassing.

by **Swordy** » Thu May 05, 2005 7:41 pm

That's pathetic... there shouldn't be any question about the champions defending a trophy...

Oh well... Maybe they'll show the Everton CL games on the Paramount channel, with all the other comedy shows :nod

Yes I remember AK Graz put together a run in the UEFA Cup, so i guess they would.

by **7_Kewell** » Thu May 05, 2005 8:39 pm

if this is how they want it, fine, we'll win the cup and show how stupid this rule is....besides, winning the Champions league will give us enough money to be out of it for a year

F#ck the FA and their p1ss poor decisions, they will be the ones emberassed when a club of their own can't defend the most prestigous trophy in Europe.
