Topic: Man City land UEFA Cup spot....fair play to them Posted: 09 May 2008 at 8:46am |
England lands extra Uefa Cup slot |
Man City and Everton could be in competition for Fair Play place |
England will have an additional club in next season's Uefa Cup after topping Europe's fair play rankings.
The place will be awarded to the best-behaved Premier League team that does not qualify for European competition next term.
Manchester City are the side who would qualify in the current Premier League fair play standings.
City, whose final game is at Middlesbrough on Sunday, qualified for the Uefa Cup on the same basis in 2003.
Sven-Goran Eriksson's side currently stand fifth in the fair play table, behind Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool - who are all already guaranteed a place in continental competition.
This means City, with only a single league game remaining, stand on the brink of an unexpected European spot once Uefa clarify whether this weekend's matches count towards the final calculation.
Everton and Fulham are the other teams in contention to qualify, although David Moyes' side will enter the Uefa Cup automatically if they get a point against Newcastle at Goodison Park on Sunday |

Like Dunne and, occasionally, Ireland, but there is not much else I like about City since that Thai bloke took over. Very shady character and likes his publicity. Like all Brit clubs in Europe I hope they get knocked out in the first round.
