- You've got a couple of factual errors in your 2011-2012 Premier League - Current Standings
module.
The top 3 finishers will compete in next season's Champions' League, yes, but the trophy is the European Cup, not the UEFA Cup.
The Europa League was formerly called the UEFA Cup, not the Champions League. Besides the 5th place finisher, the winners of the FA Cup and League Cup, plus possibly one or two others depending on circumstances, also qualify for the competition.
One other thing: despite being one of only four teams ever to win the Premier League, I would hardly call Blackburn 'dominant'. Since their solitary win, they've been mediocre at best and actually dropped out of the league for a couple of seasons at one point.

- Thanks for the clarifications.
I combined leagues by mistake. I only mention those other leagues (which I don't really focus on) to explain the results of the standings).
Heh. I never said Blackburn was dominant, although they used to be pretty good. They are featured, only as league winners. I DO say that Man U is dominant, and well, they are.
Thanks for stopping by!
