Starting in the 2015 season, Europa League winner will get a CL spot.

Shame it wasn't this season, we could have trolled Tottenham again :p

It should have been like that from the start tbh. Who is losing a CL spot as a result?

Yeah its pretty small, they are looking into a new stadium afaik. They were trying to get the olympic stadium but for some unknown reason Westham got it.

I like brown envelopes.

I thought Spuds did not get it because they did not plan to keep it. They wanted it for two years while they rebuilt WHL at which point the company that owns the o2 arena were going to take over and turn it to a events center. West Ham have to keep it as an Athletic Stadium I think.

Most of Tottenham is a desolate wasteland that no one would miss if it got knocked down, so they could just bulldoze anywhere and make a new stadium.

Spurs wanted to convert it to a football ground - moving seats forward so that it would have some atmosphere and so that fans could actually see whats going on on the pitch without the use of powerful telescopes. West Ham accepted that they would leave the athletics track circling the football pitch...

Benitez confirmed as Napoli boss. It's a shame, i'd like to have seen him at Everton.

So RvP sent this to Piers Morgan:


Glorious.

I sat behind Morgan at the Emirates a few years ago (when we beat them 3-1) and even the Arsenal fans followed him around at half time calling him a cunt.

and apparently Stoke have approached Mark Hughes.

seriously, how does he keep getting job offers in the prem? I just cant get my head round it.

I wish I could get paid loads to be worse than average at my job, never achieve anything and still get offered good jobs when I inevitably get sacked. Footballs full of fucking idiots.

Ch3tan said:
Napoli have denied they've employed Rafa according to the beeb

I thought more technically they said they arent allowed to say who yet under Uefa rules?

The media is certainly on a roll, Mourinho is already our manager and we've basically been linked to so many players he wants we will have another team.
