Hi chaps,

We had a thread like this last year (and possibly the season before that too). A good way to keep people informed about whom we might be seeing in the top flights of Europe in 07/08.... please feel free to contribute information about the teams. For instance I once spent 2 enjoyable days in Amiens a few years back sampling the delights of Picardie's capital.

Sunderland and Birmingham have been promoted to the EPL.

This will be good in terms of derby matches in the league (Sunderland vs Newcastle & Birmingham vs Villa).

I'm sooooooooo glad Derby didn't get into the automatic playoff places yesterday! I'd like to see either Wolves or WBA be the third team to be promoted to the EPL.
 
Karlsruhe are promoted, they'll play in the Bundesliga for the first time in 9 years. Ironically they'll replace Borussia Mönchengladbach, whose win on the last day of the 97/98 season sent KSC down.

Metz are already promoted to Ligue 1.

Real Valladolid are back in La Liga after a few years, they are 26 points ahead of 4th with 7 games left. Looks very likely that Almeria and Murcia will join them within the next couple of matches.
 
Amazing to see Vitória de Guimarães and Leixões come back to the Liga, both clubs have a big fan base in the north of the country, it will be thought next year! :D
 
FC Dender promoted from division 2 to the Jupiler League in Belgium.
Very litle team who gain their second promotion in a row...

Lierse or Beveren will relegate to division 2.

The team who is 17th in the Jupiler League (lierse or beveren) will participate in the play-offs with 3 clubs of division 2...possible candidates: Antwerp, Mechelen, Kortrijk.

Mechelen won the ECII in 1988
Antwerp played the final of the UEFA Cup in 1993...
