I was near Kassiopi the week of our semi-final. There was at least one bar which was showing all the games we’d normally see over here

[Albion] Europa League - What we know so far
- Thread starter worthingseagull
- Start date
1) It's a European competition we haven't qualified for
We basically have. There is no way we're not involved.

C'mon Trigg - have faith, man. Are we really going to ship 12 goals without reply to City and Villa?

I stayed here for work a few years ago:

It was terrible for what I needed it for due to the bars and clubs surrounding it but it would be a decent shout for a lively visit

Why is Sturm Graz in the Europa league? They have finished 2nd, and Austria has two qualifiers for the Champions League (RB Salzburg qualify direct for the group stage, Sturm Graz enter at the third qualifying round). So the Austrian qualifier for the Europa League should be the 3rd placed team, which is LASK (Linz).
It's a prediction of the GROUP stage of the Europa League.
The Group Stage is made up of the following 32 clubs...
1 - Europa Conference League title holder
6 - domestic cup winners from associations 1–6
1 - domestic league fourth-placed team from association 5
4 - domestic league fifth-placed teams from associations 1–4
10 - winners from the play-off round
4 - teams eliminated from Champions League play-off round (Champions Path)
2 - teams eliminated from Champions League play-off round (League Path)
4 - teams eliminated from Champions League third qualifying round (League Path)
...so I assume the modelling has Sturm Graz dropping out of the CL into the Europa League.
Clearly we'll not know all of the other 31 clubs until the CL preliminary rounds are played out.

You joke but we’re on our way song will be sang as Dublin next year for fun I’m sure!
Had a look into Europa League pots and Brighton could be placed into pot 2, that is if, at least, two clubs above us (in terms of coefficient) fail to qualify for the Europa League group stages.
So, in your example, let's say if Molde and Slovan Bratislava failed to qualify then it would be us to get that final spot in pot 2.
I have faith. Just pointing out what we all know for fun.

Not sure if it has been posted elsewhere already but this guy is the definitive independent expert on all things to do with UEFA club competition.

And you say you never wanted a PS5 anyway and that the trigonometry set and a Casio calculator are better.

Very unlucky if you're placed in pot 3, from what I've seen you're at least a pot-2 team.
You're overestimating the current state of Juventus (disastrous) and underestimating the level of Europa League (tricky, for anyone bar Man City I think.) E.g. Arsenal went out of Europa League in the round of 16 against Sporting this season.
Provocation: EL might actually present tougher obstacles for you than the Champions League would, given your good results against big clubs who are possession-oriented and your not-so-good results against less dominating clubs that are based around defensive solidity.
If we manage to qualify for Europa League, I don't think we'll shake anything at all given that we've already played there (poorly) this season and gone out in the semifinal

I've always thought it a bit perverse that if you get knocked out of the early stages of the Champions League you get a second crack at a European competition, but if you make it all the way to the final and then lose you get nothing*.
*Except a big pile of cash, obviously.

So we are well ITK then.
Europa League looks far tougher than I'd expected. But should be some good away days for the handful who can get tickets.
