We finished 7th with Reid in 1999/2000

That’s what he’s saying.

And in 2000/01. That's why I specifically said "match" our highest finish. I must have worded it badly like cos you're about the 3rd person to try and correct me but end up agreeing with me.

There was nowt wrong with how you worded it.

Getting into Europe would be fantastic. I don't see much difference between Europa and Conference.
I would love some games against historic giants (palace got Dynamo Kyiv and Fiotentina this season).

 

[one footed wonder]

Already absolutely delighted with this season, if Europe arrives (in any form) then that would just be the cherry on top of the cake

 

[fredthefan]

Does that not just mean that the trophy is a bit shit though?

Aye, made of that plastic metal stuff

 

[Redandwhitedust]

All in for Europa league. But not devastated if we dont get anything.

I cant understand anyone saying Europe would be a mistake. More money for the club, makes us a bigger draw for new signings, opportunities for class away trips.

Bring it on

I’d prefer Euro Conference over Europa league if i’m being picky. West Ham won it a couple years ago, Palace in the final for this years. It’s a better opportunity for us to win a big trophy.

Beggars cant be choosers and all that, I’d snap your hand off for either

 

[Blodwyn Pig]

Any of those. I wouldn’t be too upset if we finished 9th or 10th and no European football. Staying up and growing and developing is way more important to me than anything else

There are many posts suggesting that the Conference is the best chance of silverware. I personally don’t give a flying phuck about going into Europe in a tinpot competition. It would be so easy as we’d be playing teams like for e.g. Port Vale
The FA Cup is another matter. Winning that does change things.

Anyone who says they don’t want any European competition wants their heads checked

 

[PoolsMackem123]

I’m scared of us getting into the conference league and losing the qualifier to some shit Norwegian team and not getting to play properly in Europe, so I’d much prefer Europa for that reason alone - 7th gets you directly into the group stages and you’re guaranteed a good spread of games that way so we get a proper European experience

 

[Clivewalkershair]

Would you either take 7th and have europa league, finish 8th and have euro conference or finish 9th-10th and have no European football next season? Personally I’d take euro conference as the teams we’d come up against should be weaker.

As long as we finish above them pricks up the road I will be more than happy

Win the Europa and you're in the Champions League though. It's much more prestigious.

I'm honestly not a fan of the Conference - though obviously I'd be delighted to watch us in it.

 

[nhs99v]

Ha’way man there’s no such thing as winning a shit European trophy


Caveat… Anglo Italian cup circa 1990’s

Fairs Cup

 

[ooh its a corner]

I'd be happy to finish 8th/9th and be in the conference league and for Inter/ AC Milan to finish 8th or 9th in their league so we can play one of them and go over there and sing 'Have you ever seen a Mackem in Milan' for the entire game

 

[Julio Mackemo]

Lets lose our last game.

Its what we're about.

I despair at times

oh yes...

Fairs Cup

I think even they admit it was a joke of a trophy

How is Europa conference league tinpot for a club like ours?

 

[woodlebert]

Don’t think that’s how football works. Unless they’ve changed the rules so they just ask random fans “would you take…this…or that” instead of playing a game with two teams

Don't think that's how hypothetical questions work. Unless they've changed the rules we're not actually deciding the outcome of a football season on a message board

 

[U22]

Happy with anyway as long as we get Europe!

If we get conference hopefully continue the trend of English teams winning it. Trophy in the bag and then qualify for Europa.

Maybe we should have a hypothetical board to discuss all these fantasies?
Would you take a European Cup for the removal of a limb?
Would you swap Sadiki for Haaland?
Should Le Bris replace Enzo Frenchman with an exact replica Frenchman?
Should KLD replace RLB with an identical Frenchman?
Got to admit the hypotheticals just get on my nerves

 

[splorty]

Europa League for me, just had a look at the European leagues and there's some great clubs in Europa League contention at the minute.

AC away to shut that lot up

My thoughts exactly

 

[BucketBiff]

Just beat Chelsea and see what happens.

This. Over the years whenever we get excited we get brought down to earth with a bump. Let’s just beat what’s in front of us and see where we go. It’s in our own hands isn’t it ( I think)
