Europa or Conference League

I was talking to one of the old boys when I was out earlier. He doesn't attend, but his neighbour does. The neighbour is apparently saying he doesn't want Europe.

He's got about 30 years on me so will have seen a great deal more. I've seen enough relegations to know it'll probably happen again, so why not have a European campaign? It's the absolute chance of a lifetime, I can't actually believe people don't want it as it's a distraction! A distraction from what? Keep finishing mid table? Let's get carried away man.

Either way we need to beat Chelsea. That's all we need to know. 💪
Ha'way the lads! One more push and we're there!

goal 26/27 is to stay in the league and win Europe, qualify for Europa.

Goal 27/28 stay in the league, win Europa, gets champs league.

It's the Palace method.

We've been so spoilt for choice with all the trophies we've won in the last 50 years, that I'd definitely not want to win a UEFA competition and qualify for the Europa League...
A trophy is only prestigious because of its history and the clubs who participate. The conference is like winning a participation trophy, the stated reason for starting it was to give small leagues a chance of winning something. For a premier league club it is more of a hindrance than anything else.
And yet I bet I remember West Ham (and potentially Palace) winning it forever. Whereas I couldn't tell you who won the League or FA Cup 5 years ago. We are in no position to be looking down on European football.
What's your point? I could tell you who won the last 10 champions leagues and europa leagues 😂 but aye so you can remember who won this fairly new competition, that doesn't make it prestigious does it?

Let's see how you feel if we are picking up injuries midweek at Zimbru Chisinau or Zeleznicar Pancevo, while we fight a relegation battle due to fatigue. :neutral:

We won't be playing the first 11 in those games. Who were the last team playing in Europe to be relegated?

Bloody hell you are a wet blanket !!
 
Ok mate.

I'll just go back and read 262 posts, when all I was posting was a flippant laugh.

Have a day marra, or "bruda".
You just click on the comments in the grey box and you can see the conversation. It would have meant 1 click from when you posted. I’ll keep you right bruda
 
what do we think then?

I've seen loads of posts across various socials from their fans saying they do not want to be in the conference league again...

will their players feel the same? it's possible and I hope so
 
The only thing worth assuming is that they want to win the game, so our attitude should be to be well up for it rather than think they're going to down tools.
