I totally agree with that!

the FA should pick one or the other (I never said the the qualifying idea would be my ideal situation - only the best compromise if one was absolutely needed). What rankles with me is that - having made their choice as entitled - the FA are now loudly bleating that Liverpool should be allowed in because as defending chapions they deserve a place (if they thought that the w**kers shouldn't have allocated Everton the bloody place) and that it is up to UEFA top sort it out. Its just a cop-out of their own responsibility.
