Here’s the link to the Premiership fair play table

http://www.premierleague.com/page/FairPlayTable/0,,12306,00.html

As you can see it’s only including 36 games so far, so the last two rounds are yet to be added. This is very interesting because in the last two games City have received a red card and a yellow and Fulham have recieved two yellows.

But if Pompey lose, and then Cardif get a spot.
But Pompey end up above Manchester City… they still wouldn’t get it?
Because I don’t remember Pompey being a foul team…

Correction (yeah, I need to be a little more careful): Behavior of the Public Fair Play is NOT part of the overall Premier League Fair Play table. The PL table is based solely on what happens on the field in a match. The fan table is just for fun (and pride for the best fanbases) from what I can tell.

Timmyg:

UEFA’s Fair Play table is based solely on matches held in official UEFA competitions (Champions League, UEFA Cup, or European Qualifiers). It only determines which nations can qualify for fair play spots.

The PL fair play tables are based on matches played in league competition. The Behavior of the Public Fair Play table, which covers fan behavior at matches, is one aspect of the overall Premier League Fair Play table. The team who tops the overall PL Fair Play table (and is not going to Europe any other way) is the one who gets the UEFA Cup spot at the end of the season.

Any chance the City players deliberately blow it to “voice” their displeasure over the whole firing deal?
