Platypuss Saw a interesting point that Blackburn's best chance of Europe will be to ensure that Spurs do finish in the top 7 and that we don't as then they can pick up the Intertoto spot (assuming Bolton and Everton are also top 7 and Pompey haven't applied)
To that end it might actually be in their interests to not try to hard in their game against Spurs, as if they do win it would then increase the chance that Spurs would finish 8th and them pick up the Intertoto place instead.
Almost as good a conspiracy theory as the one that involves Wigan and Sheff U still needing a point each on the last day to send West Ham down.
V. interesting Platypuss but Portsmouth have applied for the Intertoto as far as I know...
and here's confirmation...
