Thank you, you're correct you haven't qualified, you weren't good enough, you only finished fifth, slightly ahead of Bolton on goal difference I believe.
Now, to the question of our CL qualification. On this point I'm afraid you're wrong. Everton and Manchester United HAVE qualified for the European Champions League. Due to the stature of English football we will not have to compete until the 3rd rounds. If we beat the team we are drawn against then we will enter the group stages. Which is where you're getting yourself confused I fear.
Chelsea and Arsenal have already qualified for the group stages because they finished 1st and 2nd in the League, we haven't yet qualified for the group stages but there is no question that Everton aren't already in the European Champions League competition, that's a fact and I can produce any number of internet reports to this end - get closure on this, your team didn't make it - end of!
I understand your frustration on this point because your team just weren't good enough to qualify but life's a unpleasant woman eh?
