Stoke got it as City won the cup, The semi finalist gets it then. If both the finalists are CL boys, then a slot in the league opens up.
Yes, Cardiff will get Europe only if we get 4th spot, which is difficult but not impossible.

Cardiff will need special permission for the Uefa cup spot to represent England if they win the cup though.

Our cup finals in the last decade

CC 2001: 1-1 vs Brum, won in penalties

FA 2001: 2-1 win over Arsenal, was losing 1-0 until 80th min

Uefa Cup 2001: 5-4 vs Alavez

CC 2003: 2-0 over Mancs (the only one that was easy)

CL 2005: 3-3, won in pens, came back from 3-0 down

FA 2006: 3-3, won in pens, 93rd min equalizer.

We never do it easy...I fully expect a lot of heart in my mouth moments :facepalm:

Cardiff will only get Europe if they win the Carling Cup. It's only in the FA Cup that the runners-up get Europe if certain criteria is met.

If Liverpool win the cup and finish 4th or 5th, then the team in 6th qualifies.

Considering Liverpool will finish outside the top 6 i find it all irrelevant plus Cardiff represent the Welsh FA so they get no european spot anyway.

You ignoring the losses?

I guess Sepizky's point was that when we win, we tend to do it the hard way.

Not this time, though.

All I want is the front-line to be like:

Suarez-Gerrard-Bellamy
----------Carroll----------

Success breeds success. Liverpool should really go for the win.
