It's that time of year again.......
This season it's more ridiculous than ever that potentially nearly half the Premiership will be playing in a European competition of some sort next season.
By the time November ticks around a third of them will be bleating about fixture congestion and not really want to be playing Thursday nights in any case.
What's really boiling my piss is the fact that Bentford could nab European football in 8th or 9th spot...... this would kill me and I'd probably have to give football and even bigger rest!!
I'm sure most of us, and other similar supporters in the EFL, would give their right gonad for the chance to travel to a Danish fishing village with a 5G pitch and 2 pubs or a backwater of Hungary etc to see our team in bona fide European Cup Competition and bloody love it an all.
The InterToto Cup is never coming back.
I've said it before but surely there has to be a market and a way for us lot not on the gravy train to be involved.... or the slightest of a chance to be.
My selfish route would be for the losing EFL play off finalists to qualify or even some mini competition for the losing play offs at each Divisional level to slug it out for that spot as a first pre-season game.
If not then maybe third place in the Championship providing they lose the play offs, dropping down in order of merit???
Any other ideas on this? |  |

At the moment it's top 7 in Europe, 8th place gets additional spot in the following situations:
1) Chelsea finish seventh and win the Conference League
2) Chelsea finish sixth and win the Conference League, while Newcastle finish seventh
I think that boat has sailed for Brentford after losing to Fulham anyway |  | | |

European version of the FA cup... in which we still draw and lose to sodding Peterborough! |  |

Any team finishing 15th or 16th in the Championship should gain automatic entry into a European competition. |  |

Palace not completely assured if PSG beat Reims in the French Cup Final. It’s a long story. |  | | |

There's ways around it though as with everything. Forest owner put his shares into a blind trust to avoid issues with Olympiakos but he's still front and center of it all. All the Red Bull clubs in Europe etc. | | | |

Yes, but March 1st was the cut off date for doing that in time for next season’s competition. Still, what’s the point of rules if they can’t be broken? | | | |
