Or am I missing a twist in the rules? Europa league for 5th & 6th and Europa Conference for 7th, irrespective of west ham or man city winning a European trophy - As long as man Utd and Man city qualify for Europe via the league (which they will). If west ham win the conference then they will get an additional Europa league spot, meaning the Premier League would have 8 representatives in Europe next season - top 7 In the league and west ham.

City at home and Newcastle away. If they get one point from those three they won't be above us and they also have Arsenal away. And us on the final day. I also think they'll draw a few games to those battling relegation. Forest aren't terrible at home so I'm hopeful if they score first they won't lose that. I think Brighton in the end will finish on about 60/61 points so very good chance for us with a win on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post abdulaziz1 Posted April 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2023 I don’t understand why some people don’t want the Conference League? For me I guess it’s the best one to go to, and could have a good chance to win it. We haven’t win something for almost 30 years. It also has less games than Europa which has some good teams, added to teams coming from CL. I won’t say no to it ofcourse, but Conference league is still interesting. Could give us a chance to adjust the squad aswell. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VILLAMARV Posted April 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2023 Brighton will have 5 games in 15 days at the end of the season - Sun/Thu/Sun/Wed/Sun the last of those is at VP. The other 4 are Arsenal, Newcastle, Southampton and Man City If they take a load of points from that they'll deserve them 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normally just top 5, but because the league cup and fa cup winners will qualify through the league then the extra places go to 6th and 7th. Good for us!

My theory is that people, particularly of a certain age group, associate the word “conference” in a football context with the Vauxhall Conference and similar. If it was called the “Epic Badass League” or whatever I think there would be less resistance. Spoiler I’m joking. Spoiler Well, half joking.

Some talented kids but very inexperienced for prem level so they're really got limited options to rotate and Welbeck limped off so unless Evan Ferguson is fit they'll be starting Undav upfront at Forest and he really isn't premier league standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one part, the other is we don’t have to worry too much if we’re challenging for top 4, and a cup. The amount of games and especially tough games would be less. We could depend more on Duran and Archer. I don’t mind challenging for Europa, even if it affected our league form. But it would be tough to win it. We’ll mostly have Liverpool with us, Utd, Newcastle and Arsenal could join aswell from the CL. Not sure how we’d handle the pressure of each fixture there. CL for me is easier as we’re underdogs there. Have a good chance to get third then moved to Europa. Anyway, huge game against Fulham hopefully we could win it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be one of the reasons, the other is the teams there aren’t fancy. But to be honest, thats better and makes it easier to win it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
