I remember reading somewhere a while ago that if the number of teams given a bye to the next round (Qualify for Europe) creates an odd number then the highest placed relegated team also gets a bye. That doesn't explain two teams getting a bye though.

Thinking about it more, the teams in Europe get a bye to the 3rd round, the premier league teams get a bye to the 2nd round, it needs to have an even number come the 3rd round, presumably that wouldn't have been the case, so Norwich and Fulham have been given the bye to ensure there is the right number of teams at that stage.

So Norwich and Fulham get chosen over other sides in the Championship ? or is it to do with them being relegated from the prem ? if they got chosen over Cardiff for no good weason,  Tan will go cwazy !
