If us and Liverpool win next week.

If Chelsea lose to Spurs they are not qualifying for Europe even if they beat us. I'd rather they had nothing to play for.

Why not they could do

 

[FlashGordon]

We need to beat Chelsea. That's the only thing worth thinking about. I'll be proud of the lads no matter what, but if we win that we've absolutely achieved our maximum and whatever will be, will be

So what happens to the 2 europa and 1 conference league places that we have right now

I think if Villa win the Europa league which would put them into the CL and finish 4th we lose a Europa league place ....i think

It doesn't matter if Chelsea beat spurs

It does to their moral and confidence.

 

[MackemTackem]

If we beat Chelsea even if they beat Tottenham on Tues we would get 8th and be in Europe Conference League as long as Brentford didn't win at Liverpool, if Brighton lose to Man Utd as well then we would get 7th place and be in the Europa League.

1st-5th get Champs League
6th and 7th Europa League
8th Conference League

If Villa win Europa then 6th place becomes a champs league spot which Bournemouth are in at the moment which would mean only 7th is a Europa spot although if Palace win the Conference League then they get an extra Europa spot no matter where they finish in the premier league, the top 8 spots will get a team in the Europa League competitions.

You are right. I should have said "unlikely" to qualify.

Wouldn't even be unlikely given Brentford and Brighton games

Honestly think it’s nailed on we beat Chelsea like. Atmosphere will be electric and I think if they could choose Chelsea would rather just not even bother for Alonso’s first season

Would imagine we’ll be looking bang up for it. Booting sandcastles on the beach kind of bang up for it

It’s great when there’s still something to play for, but it isn’t the end of the world if it goes tits up.

Its a rare feeling mate !..but i think i like it and i hope it becomes common place!

So does 9th place get a European place or not ?

Not

Whatever the result against Chelsea this has been an unforgettable season, what a journey.

 

[Vauxie]

People will still leave early.
We have history with Chelsea last game of the season, both playing for something.
Level on points only goal difference separating us, Chelsea last game they won 7-0, a bit of skullduggery suspected.

 

[As You Were]

Sunday should be great. Bank holiday, nice weather, people will have had a few drinks. Atmosphere will be fantastic. There is now something quite big at stake but at the same time if we don’t win it’s not the end of the world. It’s not like we have to win to stop up.

 

[CraigyWatt]

Not at the cost of European. We need spurs win.

Chelsea's result midweek has zero bearing on our chances of qualifying for europe.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

We're heading to Venus...

 

[Ned Land]

We're heading to Venus...

… wearing a strap-on penis.

 

[Balti Man]

We have to lift the roof off the SoL mind.

Does the Europa or Conference league not allow covered stadia now?

 

[beam1234]

In the past, when we have inevitably been going for promotion/relegation/play offs on the last day, I look at the sliding scale of how many goals are needed around the league for us to achieve……At KO next week, it’s 1.

 

[Qwerty]

Strange post.

Not really a fair few have said they don't want European football

Wrong

Just going off what some people have been saying
