    Which existing thread would the hypothetical possibility of Burnley possibly getting a Europa Cup spot in odd circumstances which will almost certainly have no impact at all on Charlton (and will probably/certainly never happen anyway) fit into ?

    a story about a football team sneaking into the back door of the europa league, on a football forum, whatever next

    if this was placed on a rugby forum your comment would be a very good one.

    look at the first page on here
    A Blackpool thread
    A Portsmouth thread
    A Yann thread
    A cricket thread
    A film thread
    A TV thread
    An Argurment thread
    A Photography thread
    3 Politics threads

    You have a point there @se9addick

    What do you think - is it Affect or effect ?

    more likely to happen than not
    England have been given an extra spot
    Liverpool will finish in the top 7
    so Burnley who will be in the championship next season have as much of a chance as West Ham and Everton

    The effect of the additional spot on the Europa might affect us.

    Please never gamble.

    more likely than before this was announced
    and they have as much chance as the other 2

    My point is you say it will probably/certainly never happen
    well a 1/3 chance is not that uncommon you are making it sound like a 1 in a million chance

    you comment is more un-defendable
    as I said you saying it will probably/certainly never happen is completely wrong, making it sound like a 1 in a million chance rather than a 1 in 3

    if someone said you have a 1 in 3 chance of winning the lottery I would love them odds

    But if you had a 1 in 3 chance of anything lottery/Europa/Katy Perry it would still be more unlikely to happen than it would be to happen - that's objectively and statistically true.

    Again, Ladbrokes are not your friend.

    I'm not trying to intentionally break your heart when I say this, but I didn't actually read the article - I knew it would be some fair play nonsense that UEFA dole out every year - you've just caught me in your wicked web of poor grammar and terrible comprehension of odds. You would make a great spider. But a terrible bookie.
    Maybe read articles before you comment on them
    you would make a shit reporter
    If I was a reporter I'd be writing the articles not reading them surely ?

    You should have said I'd make a "shit" editor, that would have been a good one.

    I need to throw a hand grenade into this debate.

    The odds are not 3-1.

    It's one in three if the teams are tossing a coin. But as they are able to choose whether or not to avoid yellow cards, the odds are not that simple.

    Burnley are fighting for their lives. Everton and West Ham are not. It's feasible that, with one game to go, those two could choose not to make a tackle to guarantee qualification. It happened a few years ago I believe, when the team in question got smashed because they wouldn't put a foot in. Might've been when Boro smashed Man City.

    Either way, the odds of it being Burnley are certainly longer than the other two.

    There's also a chance that we could be scheduled to play Burnley midweek but they're playing Europa League on the Thursday so our game would have to be rescheduled, possibly to the following week, maybe even too much later on the season. I for one am quite worried about this possibility and have already written to UEFA and the Football League to express my concern.

    The sooner this issued is resolved the better. Will be sleepless nights for me over the coming months.

    West ham have Kevin Nolan
    Everton have Gareth Barry

    If Burnley win at Hull today they are far from relegated
