Magic Rat Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Not sure I want is to be in the Conference. Extra games will make us tired, effecting us in the League and cups. I want us to finish above the Mackems though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guillaume Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 The extra games in the conference aren't likely to be against particularly strong teams though, and a big chance to win a trophy. I certainly don't want the mackems winning it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right….from BBC… Villa are fourth but, if on the final day they lose at Manchester City, and Liverpool win at home to Brentford, then the Villans will finish fifth. And that could potentially put sixth into the Champions League. The Premier League would surrender a place in the Europa League. Overall, England would still have eight European places.

Geordie Magpie Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 8th for conference league is possible but Chelsea can't get more than 2 Points in their next two games, wed have to beat Fulham by a couple goals and Brentford lose to Liverpool by a couple of goals.

If Villa win Europa….6th will go into CL If Villa finish outside the top four, the Premier League will have six teams in the Champions League: The top four Villa as Europa League winners The EPS Villa's precise final position would decide the Premier League's total European allocation. If they finish fifth, the EPS passes to the Premier League's sixth-placed team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Rat Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Having just looked it up the winner of the European Conference automatically ualifies for the Europa League the following season - which could be easier than qualifying through the Premier League. So it might be worthwhile if we could win it. Obviously I would much rather be in the Champions League but winning that is unlikely. We are not one of the best few teams in Europe and are unlikely to be any time soon. But winning the Europa League in a couple of years time would be a genuine achievement. So maybe a place in the Conference could be better than no place on the Conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we won by 2 and they lost by 1 then we'd qualify if the other results went our way Not necessarily goals scored. If they lost 2-0 and we won 2-1, we'd be above on goals scored. You often get some mad scores on the final day. Edited May 17 by Paullow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I can't see us getting the exact scores we need for 8th, it's extremely unlikely, so I personally hope Chelsea beat Spurs and then get at least a point against Sunderland, ideally win both, and we'll see if we can get a top half finish with a win.
