Europe

[Mackemansj1]

Be the most Sunderland thing ever when we smash Chelsea 5-0 then Brentford score a 99th minute equaliser which was offside

Given by var just to make it extra fun.

I can just feel in my water that the mags are going to overhaul us by picking up 6 points and we lose to Chelsea, leaving us feeling utterly dejected.

Come on you irons!

They’ve got Fulham away last game who may think they have a sniff too so no easy game that.

What needs to happen for it to be 9th?

Can’t happen. 8th is lowest it can go.
If villa win Europa league and finish 5th then 6th go into champions league also but only 1 team in Europa and 1 in conference qualify by league position.
Crystal palace can qualify for Europa if they win conference.

Logic is out the window. I'm running on instinct.

OK

Don't be lazy wanting to be spoon fed

I'm a lazy bastard, I'm happy not knowing

 

[JL1985]

If we beat Chelsea, we are highly likely to get a European place? Is that correct?

Do you go to the same school of doom mongering as @nelford_safc's goes to coming out with this?

I'm just jesting mate as ower the moon with the result to day

 

[Maravilla]

Imagine the aftermath of the play-off defeat to Lincoln and being told that 5 years later we'd be going into the final game with a realistic chance of European qualification?!

What a f***ing season man

Its psychological self preservation. Makes the low's feel less low and the highs more high. I'll leave the high performance mindsetand PMA to the players.

6 teams can get CL places depending on Villa winning the Europa and finishing 5th that would mean 7-8th being in the Europa league because of Man City winning the FA cup and 9th Conference because Man City won the league cup.

 

[Themig]

So we can finish 9th and not get Europe but we can also finish 9th and get Europe

Glad that’s been cleared up

That Leeds goal means we can catch Brighton if they lose at home to man united too!

Can’t see Brighton losing to Man U, Carrick hates us & he’s likely to play the kids, United finish 3rd no matter what the result.

You missed my post #59 and other comments about it's only 8 places but did you read the article? The Europa League place that the Premier League usually gets for 5th place is lost if Aston Villa win the Europa League.

As it stands, the team who finish sixth qualify for the Europa League through their league position. But if the EPS place and qualification for the Champions League is passed down to sixth, the qualification for the Europa League via the Premier League table will be lost, with that spot passing to another country.

Can we finish 7th?

 

[Julio Mackemo]

We have to win first, historically we know that causes us a bit of bother

 

[thamesvalleyman]

@mackembhoy I was wrong, you were right.

£10 to BLF incoming.

Does it make any difference if I do it directly or can I do it through @thamesvalleyman bike ride link again?

Still absolutely no interest in that Conference League. Playing Thursday every week against teams I’ve never heard of , the subsequent injuries and drop off in form and the worst of it , playing Sundays every week . Not for me like .
Europa yes , Conference no thank you .

 

[AssensMackem]

only thing we can do is win
Everything else is out of our hands

Of all the shite in this thread, this sounds like a decent plan...
