I concurWay too unpredictable for me to be arsed doing it.
7th sounds good though.

This7th. place? Conference League? Fine by me!
I understand that for financial reasons the club would like the CL, but for me the Conference would be a great (potentially winnable) adventure - and a good platform to build on for yet higher European adventures in the future. And those hardy and highly commendable souls who follow the Albion wherever would still have a few exciting trips to new and exciting places!
To be honest, I'd like to think the team will be totally focused and not underestimating any team. It's much easier to drop your levels earlier in the season. This is the business end, where literally every point counts and if they keep these performances up, they will be able to taste Europe. We very much have something to play for, unlike most of our opponents...Do you remember December?![]()
Absolutely - the Conference League offers some potentially fascinating trips to various outposts of European football. Plus (trying not to get too far ahead of myself, but failing miserably), I checked on the locations of the European finals next season, and the Conference final is in Leipzig, which sounds like a fun away day!7th. place?

I really hope that Wolves at home & Leicester away don’t come back to haunt us but got a nagging feeling they will. Apparently things balance out over a season not sure about these two. I remember being in the away end at Leicester 2-0 up with the ‘We’re going to Europe’ chants thinking this all a bit premature, how ironic it could all be,GOSBTS..Yep, those two 2 goal leads blown prevent us

It's so complicated! I'm not too sure about that - but I'm far from sure that you're wrong either, so I'll just wait and see! 7th. place and the Conference would rate as a good outcome for me - the only downside would be that if that happened, we wouldn't have won the FA Cup. And worse still, if either of those scenarios happened and we finished 7th. but got into the Europa League, that could possibly hand a first ever European place to ......... Palarse!7th with Newcastle taking 6th would be a Europa League qualification, regardless of who wins the League Cup final later today.
Not if Palace, Bournemouth, Fulham, Preston win the Cup7th with Newcastle taking 6th would be a Europa League qualification, regardless of who wins the League Cup final later today.
Yeah it's very difficult to predict every game, without reverting to club bias and ignoring all essential other factors.Lots of confidence about Chelsea’s chances on this thread.
I have two points of opposition to their perceived strength.
1. In two games at the Amex, they were shit and offered little.
2. In April, they have to face 6 teams in 14 days. The bread in that particular sandwich is made up of derby/rivalry matches away.
