Looking on the bright side for the Blue Scum, they won’t have Europa League matches for long.

There’s some talk of Blackpool taking Fulham’s place in the Europa League, via the slightly ridiculous route of the Fair Play ratings, due to Fulham picking up a red card today. No one’s quite sure what the final ratings will be, but looking at the latest table I think it’s a bit of a long shot. Would be funny to have two of the relegated teams qualifying for Europe, though.

I’m going to miss Van der Sar.

So long, Ancelotti. Rafa for Chelsea!

So long, Birmingham. I’m sure they’ll be back in August '12. And either Wolves or West Brom will be playing in the Championship at that time. Too bad about Blackpool, but so it goes. I’m glad Norwich and QPR will be up next season.
