I think Chelsea should sign Lucas Leiva or Javier Mascherano

Chelsea will win tonight I reckon. I also think Arsenal will win comfortably too.

If Chelsea do win through tonight, does that automatically put Bradford into Europe next season, assuming Chelsea qualify for the CL via the league?

I believe they got rid of the just getting to the final = European qualification now.

I think you have to win a cup.

But if Chelsea win it, then they won't take the Europa League place because they'll be kidding themselves that they can win the Champions League again.

Where does that Europa League place go? What if loads of the cup winners from around Europe are teams that go into the CL instead?

I think bradford could get a spot if we play them in the final and beat them, but finish in the top 4

if ba doesnt start, we are fucked. if he starts, we are considerably less fucked, but still kinda fucked

Nope.

They have to win the Carling Cup to get European football next year. It's the runners up to the FA Cup that get European football.

I though they gave that Europa League spot to the 6'th place Premier League team or have they changed that now?

Nope.

If you win the Carling Cup, Europe just goes to another team in the Premier League.
