    assuming chelsea make champions league (pretty much a given) do we not get a UEFA cup spot for the league cup final appearance?

    No to automatically qualifying through the Carling Cup, but on the horizon is a possible place through the Fair Play League, of which England are currently top. One UEFA spot is automatically awarded to the country that finishes top, and Spurs are (apparently) 3rd at the moment, behind Everton and Liverpool, or some other teams like that, who will almost definitely qualify through the league. That means we would be next in line.

    So, if we don't beat Chelsea in the final, and don't finish in the top 7, we could still qualify through the Fair Play league or the Intertoto, which we've also applied for. Plenty of opportuinities! And of course we would automatically qualify if we won the UEFA cup :D

    Title-holder
    1.06 Unless the UEFA Cup title-holder qualifies for the UEFA Champions League
    through its domestic championship, it will be guaranteed a place in the first
    round of the UEFA Cup. If the title-holder does qualify for the UEFA Cup
    through its domestic competitions, the number of places to which its national
    association is entitled in the UEFA Cup does not change. If the UEFA Cup
    title-holder does not qualify for either the UEFA Champions League or UEFA
    Cup through its domestic competitions, its participation in the UEFA Cup will
    not be at the expense of the contingent of its association.

    From UEFA.
