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

If we go into the ECL, do we go straight into groups or is there a qualifying round?

Qualifier for Conference League, straight into Group Stage for Europa League

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.

Absolutely gutted to lose out to Chelsea tbh.

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

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.

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.

Bottled that.

 

I don't think we bottled it particularly, our away form has been ropey for a while.

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

I’m not sure re. 2nd paragraph. Isak, Bruno can’t be happy at a club finishing 7th / 8th. Sorry to be so negative.

It’s been tragic all season, call a spade.

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

I don’t see how some think we bottled it. Some think we have the right to beat Man U at the waterfall. They aren’t shite. We played well tonight and didn’t get that penalty. We put up a good fight. I seem to not see what other see because I thought we done well.

Villa did it. 

True, a lot depends on the summer transfer window I imagine.

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.

Fucking about in places like Albania not only gives us another year of Howe learning to balance the extra competition but also a coefficient boost that takes us one step further away from the absolute stitch up of a group we got dropped in this season.

And on a more basic level, playing in Europe is fun as fuck. Getting to play a bunch of teams from around the continent we've never played before. It's class. CL is the absolute pinnacle of that but give me any form of it we can get tbh

Getting to tour Europe and witness our teams profile being raised around the world and on top of actually playing some decent teams in that competition - yet some people don't want that? Mental.
