Nightmare Scenario

[red mackem]

You make a good point….. apart from the fact that they can

If Palace win the Conference League, then 9th place will qualify for Europe. And the Visitors can still finish 9th.

Not sure why no one else has mentioned it but the above is incorrect…….

 

[jaraarrow]

Will 9th be conference league ?

 

[gonzalo]

Nightmare scenario??? Are you for real??

We’re one match away from European qualification for the first time since the League Cup in 2014, and the first time via the league since the Phillips days

Nightmare scenario my arse

This is a gigantic match

But if we lost, I mean cmon what a season

 

[Kent Boy 2]

Don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet but you're wrong marra.

It has been mentioned once or twice. I blame AI

 

[snarlz II]

Will 9th be conference league ?

No

 

[butcher]

i've heard 9th will get us european football , can anyone confirm

 

[T S Garp]

Of course this part is true, thus negating my previously confident ramblings

Not getting at you mate and kudos for realising but the number of people in multiple threads thinking that 9th can qualify is astounding

Except I think this is now out of date since us and Chelsea can't both lose:

"The teams who finish seventh and eighth will qualify for the Europa League and UEFA Conference League respectively, and all of the clubs down to 13th place are still in contention for one of those spots."

 

[ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK]

I disagree. Fulham have nothing to play for really - their goal difference puts them out of the running for Europe and their World Cup players won't wanna bust a gut for nowt. Newcastle have put a few good results together and they will beat Fulham, in my opinion. We must beat Chelsea.

Isn't that now the same for Newcastle after the Chelsea result given they've now also got nowt to play for? (apart from finish above us of course)

They've got a few players going to the World Cup also and more than Fulham will have so will they risk that to get above us? Who knows but roll on Sunday!

This 100%.
Nightmare is 3 points from safety, one game to go and it is against the visitors.

It’s impossible for mags to get europe. Only top 8 get in europe. The fact we play Chelsea means they can’t.

 

[Roker Magic]

Newcastle will be praying that we don't beat Chelsea on Sunday. Their pathetic season all hangs on this - it's literally all they've got to hope for.

 

[nz joe]

Paraphrasing a former manager of theirs " I'd love it if they won at Fulham but we beat Chelski 2-1 , with a 95th minute winner and they still finished behind us"

Cannot wait

Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the Lad's

How? Am I being thick? The way I read it is, Sunderland need to hammer Chelsea and all other results go their way so they can finish 8th on gd to qualify…. Or am I being thick, in which case, ignore…

Love it. Never saw it like that.

I'm hoping that not only the prize of Europe spurs the lads on but the fact they know if we lose the mags finish above us is all they need to bring it home.

We need to win Chelsea for any chance to be in Europe.

But we only need Liverpool or Man U to win for us to get into Europe if we win Chelsea. Both winning however means the difference between Europa or Conference.
