Sorry for being a bit thick on this, but I have several cunting rags at me saying we didn't deserve pot two and that it was "bought" blah blah.
Can anyone give the main reasons because I just want to shut these cunts up?? Much appreciated!!

Surely being the champions improves your rating in the CHAMPIONS league.

Dortmund was in pot 4 & they've won the Bundesliga two years in a row.
It's not about domestic success, but international.

It's a rolling five year average in terms of performance, we dropped a crap year and replaced it with last year's. Tell them it shouldn't be too long before we're in pot one, that should cheer them up.

Haven't clippers med the link above by PP but from memory on what Dazby posted a long while back, all to do with UEFA & some blocks about co-efficient (euro brownie points for want of a better description, to protect the G14)
I think our runs in the Europa along with being champions of the prem propelled us a little but not far enough to make pot 1.
Happy to be told different but I think have got it roughly right? In a non buerocratic/UEFA blocks type way, or plain English, which I prefer

Fuck them.
I like the nice red "going down" icon they've put in column 2 for u****d though, just to remind them where they're going.
