This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

If Chelsea wins, nothing changes for the PL. If Arsenal wins, they get added to the mix. They no longer bump people from the league that wins either the UCL or Europa (as Chelsea did to Spurs when they won UCL a few years back)

Obviously, both Liverpool and Spurs are already qualified for next year, so no changes will take place with PL teams because of the UCL final.

See the link for some more information:

"Chelsea already booked a Champions League group stage place by finishing 3rd in the Premier League. Arsenal is already in next season's Europa League but could upgrade to the Champions League by beating Chelsea in Wednesday's final. If Chelsea wins, that extra Champions League group stage spot goes to Lyon. How one Premier League club winning this season's Europa League benefits a Ligue 1 club is down to UEFA logic. It's because Ligue 1 is the highest ranked domestic league without four Champions League group stage spots, an indication of how silly all of this has gotten"
