Agree its Crazy, because its not true. Only 1 team has beat Manchester at Old Trafford this season in the PL. Better Home record than Brentford where we struggled. 7 teams have beat Wolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the three teams below us win their games in hand they will be above us and we'll be 8th, so while it is a good position to be in, we need to not go mental as a fan base if we drop a bit (not that i'm implying you would, I mean the wider 'we'). Yeah well we have to play them all as well. Without having checked it properly at least on of Brightons game in hand is against City. If we win them and they lose to City then thats 6 points gained. If they win their other two games in hand they’ll be at 55 points. So it’s as much in our hands as possible, but of course very tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Man United win the FA Cup but don't finish Top 4 (which is extremely unlikely): 5th and 6th get Europa League, 7th gets Conference League, 8th gets nothing regardless of scenario. West Ham winning the Conference League will give them a Europa League spot, but this would have no impact on the spots given by league position. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't include our next result in that calc, it's a game in hand, regardless of when we play next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton still have to play all of the current top 5. 7 matches in May in 24 days. The chance of them winning all three of their games in hand is pretty low.

Brighton have to play Arsenal, Man U and Newcastle along with us and Citeh. Plus some teams on the cusp of relegation who will certainly be scrappy.

colhint Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Would anyone prefer the conference. I think we could actually win that. Not saying we couldn't win the Europa but more chance. Nice to have a trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on here mentioned less fixture congestion so that coupled with a thin squad sounds like a positive to me. Plus it would give us two ways to qualify for Europa next season.

Not saying we couldn't win the Europa but more chance. Nice to have a trophy. I’m happy with either. The reasons I prefer the Europa Means we finish higher in the league this season Likely attract a better player in the summer More money from league position this season and more from Europa Emery has great ability in this competition The reasons I prefer the Conference More chance of the younger players get quality game time More likely we’d win it. We’d be mad not to prefer the Europa but I can see some benefits of the Conference over it but not enough to push me in that direction. To me, any European competition I’d be delighted in given where we were six months ago and the lack of European football for years. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Ideally Spurs drop to 8th as Brighton in Europe will tax their smaller squad more next season. Loss of any European football will harm Spurs especially financially. Kane leaving etc.. Liverpool are still Title contenders so them getting 5th or 6th is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
