Intertoto or bust

All things considered, would it be such a bad thing if we had to qualify for UEFA via the intertoto?
Hopefully the threat of having to curtail their summer break by a couple of weeks, the players might be motivated for a final big effort.

Yeah i see what u mean but I don't think it's fair on players like Dawson who deserve a well earned break.

Really?! I though we had, people have been talking about it for a while so I just assumed!

I think we have applied, but wouldnt be the best for the players, esp as we have played so many games this season. Just hope we finish top 7.

This from the BBC website

"It's important we qualify for Europe so we will do everything in our power to get the points we need.
"We are level with Portsmouth and have a game in hand, so we have a great chance of getting in directly.

"I have told the players that if we are in the Intertoto they will have to come back to training in June."

That was MJ of course...
