Gallowgate Toon Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 1 minute ago, Andy said: Not sure why people turn their nose up at conference. It's a winnable trophy where you don't even need to play a strong team until later on. Would be ideal for the likes of Miley if he doesn't go on loan. Yup, it's just about the perfect competition for the state of our current squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Would take Conference but its just so deflating when we had Europa in our hands. Fucked it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love Conference. Trophy looks class, more games to watch, and the way Roma and West Ham celebrated it shows how much they care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Conference doesn't interest me at all, would rather focus on the domestic cups and have a tilt at top four than fucking about in places like Albania Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The monotony of the top 6 has been broken. We've played a significant part in that and we're still in the early stages of our development. Ask anyone 2 years ago if they'd have taken Confernece and the resounding answer would have been yes. Nothings changed for me, actuslly very happy with how this season had gone all things considered. We're perfectly on course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've spent a billion quid to strengthen an already strong squad, it was bound to click for them eventually. It's a 38 game season and if they finish with more points than us then we have no reason to argue about it. They've had a brilliant 4 or 5 months worth of results to balance out their shit start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) 24 minutes ago, Holloway said: Conference doesn't interest me at all, would rather focus on the domestic cups and have a tilt at top four than fucking about in places like Albania I used to think this but Conference league is still technically Europe and even mickey mouse European football is still a great platform to attract younger talent and somewhat convince our best players that qualifying for Europe two seasons in a row is progress. Also, another shot at a trophy. If our best players aren't happy with conference I somehow doubt they'd be happy with 8th in terms of project sold to them. Personally think we'll beat Brentford and make it. Hope City don't have a shit FA cup final. Edited May 15 by Amir_9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Think it's a big ask to get a win against the Stoke City of Chiswick. Draw I can see, maybe that's enough. Hard to see the positives of ECL when we had 6th firmly in our grasp, but I'm desperate for European football, so yeah. Let's get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhSholaAmeobi Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Job's fucked Chelsea have a team full of kids by the way, Madueke was still raw and not first choice for PSV, Mudryk had 20 good games in Ukrainian league. Defence is made up of average defenders that are never going to get a game for France. Let's not pretend the billion makes them world beaters, we should be ahead of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Disagree with ECL not being worth it. It's European football which is inherently a step in the right direction, and it's a trophy that we could damn well win if we're not hobbled by insane numbers of injuries never season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we fought hard enough, just didn't have enough quality on the ball in some areas of the pitch. They had a bit more and that's what counted in the end.
