England's potential 10-team European entry:

 

:: Champions League - FOUR.

 

Top two in the Premiership (currently Chelsea and Manchester United qualify automatically for group stage), third and fourth placed teams (Liverpool and Tottenham) into final qualifying round.

 

*If Arsenal win Champions League and finish outside top four, they become third English club straight into group stage, Tottenham go into UEFA Cup.

 

:: UEFA Cup - THREE OR FOUR

 

Fifth and sixth in Premiership (Blackburn and Arsenal), plus FA Cup winner or runner-up (West Ham, Charlton or Middlesbrough) straight into first round.

 

*If Middlesbrough win UEFA Cup and reach the FA Cup final, they will go into first round as tournament holders and seventh placed Premiership team (Bolton) would join them.

 

:: Fair Play - ONE

 

Country which finishes top of UEFA's Fair Play League (currently Belgium) automatically allocated one place in UEFA Cup 1st qualifying round. All countries with a final average of eight or above (England was 8.023 in December) go into a draw for the two remaining places. If successful, the highest placed team in Premiership Fair Play League not already in Europe (presently Charlton, then Wigan) would take the European place.

 

:: Intertoto Cup - ONE

 

Highest-ranked team to apply not already in Europe takes England's place in third round. Not all seven teams to express their willingness to participate have done so publicly but it is believed Blackburn, Bolton, Everton and Middlesbrough are among them

Would Arsenal not go into qualifying like Liverpool last year, or has uefa said this will definetely happen to stop any grief they may get. Would be harsh on Tottenham but Arsenal would love it.

No, that is defo right. Would be very funny for Spurs to be dumped into the Uefa cup by Arsenal........

Spurs landing in the UEFA cup, does that mean another place in the comp or do they take one of the other places ie 5th or 6th placed teams?

 

As long as Arsenal finish 5th or 6th they 'simply' swap their UEFA Cup place for a Champions League place. If they finished outside the UEFA Cup places in the league I do not think we get an extra place.

 

On the other hand the UEFA Cup rules allow the holders entry as a right to defend the competition. So if Boro win it they would enter the 2006-07 UEFA Cup in their own right and not taking the place of another English club.

Watching Middlesboro on thursday I am sure they said if they win the UEFA that takes up 1 of the league places.  ie only 1 other UEFA place.

How many go into the intertoto ?

 

Middlesborough definitely DO NOT take a league place up if they win the uefa

1 into intertoto

 

uefa regs say the winners of uefa can geta place if requested by their home association - if they haven't already qualified

 

this is an extra place
