Nothing expected against Villa, Brighton and Arsenal If we only pick up 3 points against Man U (H) Chelsea (H) Everton (H) Villa (A) Brighton (A) Arsenal (A) We don’t deserve CL. Last season we got 12 points from those games (I think). I would aim for the same. Im targeting 21 points. 7 wins out of 10. Almost certainly gets us 5th. 6 wins might be enough too if we can avoid defeat to rivals and beat a few.

frankpingel Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Definitely torn between Europa, with a half decent chance of progressing deep into the competition or CL with massive financial and player benefits. What a nice predicament to ponder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago All of our competition play in Europe or FA Cup. We could be playing Arsenal with nothing to play for, Man U and Villa after they play European games. Brighton focused on the FA Cup and Everton on the beach.

What a nice predicament to ponder. Now that we’ve finally got the trophy monkey off of our backs I care less about advancing in the Europa League. It would be nice, but the CL money moves us closer to our next long term goals (winning the league or the CL). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I feel like getting the CL would unlock money for squad rejuvenation and not selling our stars. For that it’s a no contest with the Europa. A cup win and another CL finish gives our FMV a nice big boost. Much more guaranteed revenue from the competition itself too. We can just add quality.

Yorkie Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Gagging for a Europa League run. I get the arguments in favour but I'm no more endeared by the Champions League despite our soiree there last season. The Europa is a better competition with significant prestige and holds some painful memories for us to vanquish. I've all the time in the world for the Conference but it's totally undermined if the PL entrants are the default winners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago How's this: if we're definitely going to win the UEFA Cup, I'd choose the Europa league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I'm absolutely delighted we're in Europe no matter what, I'd love to win the Conference League (despite that name just instantly lowering the prestige). Europa would also be fantastic, but sadly in this PSR world, we probably need CL to continue our growth and rebuild properly. Agree with Yorkie, I'd actually prefer to be in Europa if all things (PSR) were equal as that's a genuine chance of another trophy. Getting fucking greedy now aren't I.

Theuve only beaten Leicester, Southampton, West Ham, Wolves all at home since the middle of December. lost to Fulham, Ipswich, City, Brighton, Villa and Arsenal. draws to Everton, Palace, Bournemouth. Not beaten a team above 16th since a 2-1 victory over Brentford in the middle of December. Incredible they are 4th despite all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Very happy with conference football, gives some of the squad a chance to impress. I think CL would play out the same as last time, we put everything into it, and don't have the squad to maintain league form as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis H Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago The Conference is the one West Ham won while finishing 14th and Chelsea are the big favourites this year despite mostly playing a second string team. Should be an easy way to never have to mention the Fairs Cup win again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago If you're a travelling supporter, I think the Conference would be a laugh. But there's something exciting about a big CL match at SJP, hosting Barcelona or Juve etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Conference League really doesn't do much for me. The PL has such a financial advantage that it lessens the appeal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating PSG was seismic for many reasons, including the stakes being so high. Didn't matter in the end, but at the time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
