The Europeometer™ (2024/25) - NUFC Qualify for Conference League (at least)

[Erikse]

So, lets see.. Chelsea play Liverpool the next game after the league is secured. Then Chelsea and Villa play Spurs and Man Utd 5 days before the Europa League final they somehow got into, which means another free win for Chelsea and one for Villa. Then Villa play Spurs only some days after the final. Brilliant.

Nothing, except a shitty team is getting a 6th CL spot.

[ponsaelius]

Nothing at all

[Ben]

OK cheers. I never realised there was a 6th champions league spot

If Chelsea and Man U get CL but not us

 

If it's any consolation, the Europa is clearly an easier competition to win the the League Cup - so great chance of a trophy 2 seasons in a row. We'll need another 3-4 good squad players though, over wise risk falling to bits with fatigue and injuries again.

Would be nice if Bournemouth did something against Villa. They have Man Utd and Spurs after that. Both games close to the final, one right before and the other right after. I expect no help from those 2 teams. Good thing our GD is superior. 69p will do.

Football rankings has us lowest ranked side on projections, ironically highlights that going deep in Europa wouldn’t be bad for coefficient.  It feels a very distant second nowadays though.

A problem is that 4 English teams are in pot 1 who we cant play against and we are left with 5 really strong teams.

Yeah I’ve no real problems with that as should be more balanced on the whole next season. We would be the team from pot four who teams would want to avoid.

Tbh, I think coefficients are less important in the new version. 
 

Having a low coefficient previously would seemingly inevitably lead to getting a group that was very difficult to qualify out of. 
 

Now, whilst you still likely get two (maybe three) very difficult games, you also likely get 2-4 (at least) that are eminently winnable, so you probably have a better chance of qualifying regardless of how low your coefficient is.

it's sad the way things are going but an English side winning a European trophy nowadays is not the special achievement it used to be 

 

all the money is now in the PL, the likes of West Ham and Bournemouth spend way more on transfers/wages than 95% of clubs in the Spanish, Italian, German, French and Portuguese leagues

 

and obviously dwarf the smaller leagues in spending 

 

the gap between the PL and Europe will only continue to grow and grow until English clubs are completely dominant 

 

sure we'd expect to win the Conference and be amongst the favourites for the EL

 

if Spurs win the EL the best team they'll have faced will be MU, and we all know how shite they are relative to almost every other PL side 

 

all English finals are also shite 

 

that said I'd still happily celebrate us winning any European trophy

Let’s make sure we take a moment and watch those replays again. We won a fucking trophy. Fuck the UCL, fuck PSR, fuck what percentage of revenue we spend on wages. 
 

this year will never be repeated and all of us that were here to see it; we are the luckiest and righteous of all of them.

The Premier League is 17 teams with three EFL guests so, when you put it like that, more than a third of the division qualifies for the Champions League now.
