The Independent carries a very interesting item about the English domestic Fair Play table and the effect it might have on European qualification for next season.

Manchester United top the English list as of now with 8.17 points out of 10. Sheffield Wednesday are second (8.01), Arsenal third (7.98), Liverpool fourth (7.95) and Wimbledon are fifth (7.93).

While red and yellow cards count against Arsenal, marks have been won through attacking play, respect for refereeing decisions, help given to injured opponents, being good winners or losers and a healthy crowd atmosphere home and away.

UEFA keeps a record of every country's average score and the leading nation gains an automatic place in the new and "improved" UEFA Cup. A host of other high-scoring countries enter a ballot for two remaining places, the Independent explains.
