    Tottenham could qualify for next season's Europa League regardless of whether they pip Liverpool to fifth place after the latest Fair Play table was announced by the Premier League today.

    Chelsea top the list but have already secured Champions League football next season. Fulham are tied for second place with Spurs, who would take the additional European spot - expected to be awarded to an English club by UEFA - if they finished level courtesy of their higher League position.

    The latest figures are up to April 30, since when, Fulham had five players booked in Monday's defeat to Liverpool while Spurs had three yellow carded against Blackpool on Saturday and only Steven Pienaar disciplined in last night's 1-0 loss against Manchester City at Eastlands.

    Although Harry Redknapp insists Tottenham remain committed to finishing as high as they can in the League, there is a feeling at White Hart Lane that no European football would be a blessing in disguise as they look to regroup next season and qualify for the Champions League again.

    But Redknapp's pre-season plans would be thrown into disarray should they secure a Europa League spot through the Fair Play table as the first qualifying match would take place on June 30, six weeks before the start of the League campaign

    Here's hoping for a few yellows over the next few games I guess!

    Haha, it makes some change from a few years back where we were all hoping that our position in this table would result in us getting in to the EUFA Cup, only to be pipped by the Young Boys!
