How will you feel if we miss out on Europa League?

[TheLittleBigMan]

For me the expectations, let alone the disappointments are bad enough already. I was just wondering how everyone see's the possible lack of european games next season? And also, what are your thought's on being in it?

It would have been nice but its not the end of the world.

[Beechey]

Fine, I was hoping for 8th at the start of the season so won't pretend I'd be disappointed if we get that. Europa would be nice of course though.

[VLC86]

Gutted that we don’t get to enjoy the incredible scenes of a year ago, relieved I don’t have to pay for it and go through the stresses of booking flights and getting the time off.

[ZeGuy]

There's always next year.

It wouldn't be so much missing out on Europe, it would be that f***ing Burnley beat us to the spot (On the basis that Southampton don't win the FA Cup)

[Corky]

If we were going straight into the group stages then I'd view it differently but two double-legged matches after the World Cup means I'm not sure what team we'd put out. From a point of view of attending, Sunday games don't appeal either.

 

If we get there, great. 7th is a very decent season. But 8th isn't too shabby and I hope we end the season in form.

We'd have got all excited and then probably been knocked out in the preliminary stages

[Monsell1976]

Let down by the playing staff, no better opportunity for a europa league spot in the league than this season

They were more consistent. Fair play to them.

[The Horse's Mouth]

honestly think if we do finish 7th we'll be knocked out in the early qualifying stages anyway

[Guest MattP]

It would sum up the season, like the two cups, another great chance to achieve something and somehow we couldn't get over the line and do it.

Not bothered because I've never truly believed we can make it. Maybe I might've in the heat of the Southampton game for example but we've been a constant letdown this season. We've bottled nearly every big game we've played.

 

Logistically it probably wasn't very good for me. Hopefully we make it next year although I can't believe 7th won't be a better side than this current Burnley side. Can't help but feel we missed the boat.

Even the Champions League is overrated in terms of quality, you only start to play decent teams in the knockout stages (unless you've got someone half decent in your group) so in the Europa League, you'll have to play about 80 games just to play someone from a country you've heard of. I can take it or leave it, however, it would be nice one season, but I feel after a few seasons of Thursday night, Sunday I would be fed up.

You say that like the cups were on a plate for us, and ours to fvck up... which they really were not.

Don't put facts that could get in the way of people's opinions.

[brucey]

I see it as a choice between 1) No Europe + Guaranteed to stay up, or 2) Europe + Small chance of relegation. Depends on your priorities I guess, if you want to travel. But if the squad isn't bothered (which they clearly aren't) we'll do rubbish anyway so there's probably not much point.

[sacreblueits442]

....strange, back in the days when we qualified for Europe via winning the League Cup and with the excitement and pride felt at the time. We seem to view the Europa as a hindrance something akin to a lucky escape.

  We have come a long way but it seems to me........ we have gone too far!!!!

 

 

[Guest Mee-9]

Rather we weren't in it.

 

Ruins your season playing on a Thursday night.

I would have loved to qualify but from a practical point of view it's probably for the best we didn't. We'll have several players going to Russia so playing fixtures possibly in late July wouldn't be doing us any favours at all. I think we'd have to play 3 third round qualifiers and two play off games so the uncertainty in where and who we would playing wouldn't be helping us out.
