5th is an avenue to Champions League...wrong again.

Yeah, if you actually win the UEFA Cup, what are our odds on us actually doing that by the way? Anyway, I guess I am looking at this from a more traditional perspective, and not a GCSE mathematics perspective.

I never said it wasn't a good competition. My whole point is if you're not in CL you're a mid-table team.

With all due respect, you're talking rubbish.

No mate...1st is considered top of the league.

Point taken but the top tier teams aren't to pissed about not being 1st as long as they make the top 4. right or wrong?

 

[Jamo Martinez]

John Moores, me, and lots of other people, especially from those who can remember the pre-play-off years.

We're talking about top end of the table. Thankfully we're still a top flight club so I don't see what 'play offs' have to do with it.

Top 4 is considered the top of the league, right? The last 3 are considered the bottom of the league, right? So what do we call the teams inbetween?

Actually, if you want to be picky, only the team in 1st position is considered top of the league and only the team in 20th position is considered bottom of the league.

So what should we call the teams inbetween?

Which by your defintion is 13 teams in the league?

Wrong again...it's been the Europa League for several years now mate...get with the times.

Irrelevant to your argument.

As I said, I'm more of a traditionalist, and traditionally speaking, 5th place is mid-table.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Everton 5th 72 points

west Brom 17th 36 points

Both midtable teams?

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Like Simeone I think the Europa league is a good competition to win and I'm glad we're in it especially since it looks like our best route to earn a champions league place. You clearly don't.

It's almost as if our trophy cabinet is so bursting with silverware we can't fit any more in they way some people dismiss this competition, unless I've missed a large part of my life we've won nothing for f'ing years and need to remedy that somehow quickly because it's bloody awful for a club of our size and heritage to go this long without something to celebrate.

No. Goodbye.

5th place Is 5th place. Not mid table.

Not when there's 20 teams in a league it's not
