Because its abit complicated last season. Usually only the 5th place qualifies for the Europa Cup which is Man City. Then the FA CUP WINNERS and CARLING CUP WINNERS will also qualify for Europa Cup. However, the FA CUP WINNER was CHELSEA and the CARLING CUP WINNER was MAN U and since both of them already qualified for Champions League, the Europa Cup places should go the losers of the Fa Cup and the Carlings Cup.

So the loser of the Carling Cup was Aston Villa, so Europa place goes to them. Now, the loser of the FA Cup was Portsmouth. The Europa Place should have gone to them however, because they went into administration, they were denied the Europa place. So since Portsmouth was denied, that place should have been given to the 6th placed team in the Premier League but the 6th placed team happened to be ASTON VILLA who already has a place in Europa so it was given to the 7th place team which is then Liverpool.

Krisztian Adorjan - an exciting young player. has been impressive in our U-18 matches, setting up goals after goals with through passes.

hope he can step up to the senior team in near future, together with another young playmaker at the same age - Suso.

Juve won't pay asking price for Aquilani

Extracts:

'However, Marotta said the club would not be prepared to pay the £16 million fee agreed with Liverpool when the loan move was put in place.

"There is a buy-out clause that has to be activated by May 15," Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. "We'll try to reach an agreement before the deadline. I can certainly say we will not sign Aquilani for the sum set by Liverpool."'

If he doesnt have the desire to play for the Reds anymore, no point keeping him. Juz like the sulker Torres who eventually had his way out. But luckily for us we got a good deal.

Acquilani had a good season with Juve but the foster club refused to pay. Maybe they are juz testing Pool's patience and waiting for a slash-down price. Hopefully Pool can find a suitor who could better match the asking price n let Juve live to regret it.

This weekend's game not easy for Liverpool...... Hangeland is back and Fulham has only lost at home 3 games this season...... they are on winning run of 6 games including 3 shutouts...... Liverpool have to really be on top of their game to win this one...... hopefully they can do it.

i guess those of us who follow EPL will know that Fulham are no pushovers. they have always performed credibly during the past seasons and have a knack to create an upset or 2 agt top teams, esp @ home. well, credit too to RH for rebuilding a strong team ard Dempsey, Hangeland, Murphy and ahem ... Konchesky (who had since left). which was why, a few wks bk i onli gave Pool a conservative 1 pt. hopefully now they have nothing to fight for, they will rest on their laurels n few some 2nd stringers. whthr Dempsey plays
will be critical. Of cos we are in good form to beat Fulham now compared to early season.

some bros may feel we shd juz dismiss Europa n concentrate on EPL next season. but i tend to feel European experience is always important, esp for our young blood , attract quality players to join our club (altho most would pref Champ Leag anytime of cos) and of cos the revenue.

Spurs throw it away against Blackpool by drawing at White Hart Lane.
Lead is now 1 pt.
Next week game is crucial.

[rahl]

We are on a good run ... at home, and away if we want to get into Europe, we will have to lift our game. Two more key away matches before Spurs arrive at Anfield. I don't think it will be that straightforward and there will be twists and turns before the final week.

GAME OVER liao. Our hated rivals are on course for 19th title. Only need 1 more point in their last 2 games agt lowly Blackburn & Blackpool.

Was disappointed at the manner Chelsea surrendered white flag at Old Trafford. They were stunned by the goal within a minute of play and never recovered since. Traitor came on as sub but virtually zhuo bo.

Life goes on ... Pool would have to work much much harder next season to wrest the honours back, juz like how PAP lost 6 seats yesterday and have to win the voters back.

Tottenham 35 14 14 7 7 56
Liverpool 35 16 7 12 15 55

Ball is back in our court. Spurs play again midweek, away to ManC. Potential 2or 3 pts for Spurs to drop. Pool need to seize the initiative by beating Fulham to go 2 pts clear. If Spurs lose to ManC and Pool beat Fulham, we will only need to draw Spurs at home and could even afford to lose our last game to AV.

I hope so. I rather we get the point at Villa. Games we only need a draw (with Spurs) are the most difficult games.
