[Albion] Champions league qualification still possible with just 3 games to go

[The Wizard]

If we win tonight (which I do think is unlikely)are we in a position where we might want to go for broke and hope Villa beat Liverpool?

What an interesting and probably entirely irrelevant thought.

If we win tonight absolutely...at that point we just have to do the business versus Saints anyway which we have to fancy ourselves to do.

Would have been more than a slight possibility had we not been shafted by VAR for at LEAST 5 points.
Yep, I'm still bitter

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Just wanted a big old thread highlighting what an incredible reality this is.

I'd like to think we can take it to the last 3 games, maybe 2 as well, but just in case tonight doesn't go so well I thought I'd stick it here now.

I applaud optimism, but crikey. I prefer to stay realistic and concentrate on a place in the top six, the Europa League is more than enough for me. even the Europa Conference should we finish seventh would be more than acceptable, thank you very much.

Thread void about 9-26 tonight

If we're adding another 26 goals to our difference, it'll be far from void.

At the risk of appearing pedantic about an impossibility, that would be just another 17 to our GD

Think we are getting ahead of ourselves a little bit guys. Sure, we have the team for it and we probably deserve a place at the top table (based on the VAR robberies) but to aim for a Europa spot is more realistic. If any team are going to sneak into the CL places it's likely to be the the entitled lot from Liverpool. Guess we can dream though!

And that's EXACTLY the point of the thread. No-one SERIOUSLY believes that we will get into the CL, but the very fact that there is event the slightest chance with just four games of the season left to play is – quite frankly – mind-boggling!

What you're missing is how absurd a 9-26 scoreline is.

No way are we that loose at the back!

Win tonight and thump Saints, then I'll dare to dream

 

[Bozza]

I was going to start a similar thread saying that in a little over three days we could have qualified for Europe with two games to spare.

I didn’t because I knew some people would not get the point and tell me that Spurs are going to win both their games or something.

So I’m glad @Giraffe os getting the stick instead!

As @Greg Bobkin says: the point is where we are right now, and nothing to do with any expectation of where we’ll be in 10 days time.

Won’t happen

It's the middle of May and Sky Sports are including Brighton when covering the Top 4 race on MNF.

What a time to be alive.

Even if it's basically impossible to get it, I can't quite believe we are still in the conversation at this time of the season. I do fancy a late run at it if we win tonight though, but we would need a favour from Villa against Liverpool realistically

I saw that on MNF and had to pinch myself. Crazy

Amazing.

A big old very short thread, closed by 9.15 tonight?

Edit: I see I have been beaten to it by a middle-aged man in lycra.

Much more chance of us finishing 8th than 4th

But the point about NSC is that the point is never the point.

That's what happens when you type a time as if it was a rugby score.
