Crumpy Gunt Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Lets hope not. Roeder desrves no reward whatsoever with the turgid shite he's put on the pitch this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Unlikely. This season, there are many teams that are rumoured to have applied for the Intertoto Cup. The highest placed finisher of all that have applied, assuming they don't finish in the automatic qualification places (5th/6th), go into the Intertoto. Rumour has it that Spurs, Everton, Reading, Pompey, Bolton, etc have all applied - so 10th probably won't be enough, no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Possibly. If Chelsea and Man Utd make it to the FA Cup final then 8th place will get the chance to enter the Intertoto, if they don't want it then it will be offered to 9th etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 well out of that list atm Spurs, Everton & Bolton would all automatically be in europe (FA cup permitting)... Steve Coppell keeps saying he doesnt really want UEFA so i'd be suprised if they'd applied. So if we finish ahead of pompey & blackburn? perhaps. a long shot, but not completely impossible.

What if the spuds win the UEFA cup as well, that should take it to 9th. Shitty thought i know, but... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yes - Reading and Pompey did not apply according the the bbc article which I'll look for in a minute. As long as 8th and 9th are those teams and the FA Cup final is between Man Utd and Chelsea then 10th will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/everton/6411501.stm Everton (7th & above) Blackburn, (below us) Bolton, (7th & above) Fulham, (below us) Middlesbrough, (below us) Tottenham (7th & above) and Newcastle So at the moment, ate, 10th is good enough. All depends on the FA cup finalists and keeping ahead of Boro, BB & Fulham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I hope we don't get into it tbh. We are CLEARLY nowhere near good enough to win a competition. Considering that we've never got further than a semi-final. Considering we've deteriorated in our competition performances (semi-final, to quarter-final, to last-sixteen). Considering that we've needed the Intertoto twice in the last two seasons to get into Europe, and we couldn't even qualify through that one of those times. It's a pointless waste of effort for now. Wait until we build a team, get a good manager and are actually decent enough to do something in the tournament. Meanwhile, we could be concentrating on improving our domestic performances.

Unlucky Luque Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 but why the f*** dont/didnt other english teams apply for it??? its only 2 games. Like saying no to european football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 So if Pompey and Reading haven't applied....we're in the Intertoto spot as it stands? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 but why the f*** dont/didnt other english teams apply for it??? its only 2 games.

James Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 We have to be in the top ten though to be allowed in iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rafa Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 but why the f*** dont/didnt other english teams apply for it??? its only 2 games. Like saying no to european football Like Toon's Taylor said, it's another competiton. And for clubs without huge squads, and especially a team that's not been in the top league long, it may cause 'em more trouble that its worth. We see how many teams suffer 'European hangovers' after a game, those points lost, could make all the difference. If you weigh it up - the money they get from staying in the prem far outweighs the money they would get in the UEFA Cup. The decent money doesn't come into it until really late on.

Superior Acuña Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I dont know why pompy havent applied when they're going for europe apparently. I hope we do get in. Whatever yoy say, it means we're in europe next season, and that's got to help with signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Invicta_Toon Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Do we seriously need to be in it? We might get somewhere in the Prem next year if we have a proper pre-season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
