Crispin LA Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 Europa league! Anyone interested, games on Thursday in some far flung club in the former Soviet states. Look what happened to Burnley, at the end of last season they were so excited and when they were playing the games in those countries they had enough.

Back door to our rightful place in the CL!
HybridFox Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 this is why you don't bin off the cups Mr Puel. aiming to be the "best of the rest" isn't a given to qualify for Europe. If it ain't Man City now, 7th won't get you anywhere
Foxxed Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 Man City need to win the FA cup. And we need to make up a (probably) six point gap and goal difference. Our fixtures are more challenging than Watford and West Ham's. And they're as difficult as Wolves'. Watford and Wolves' fixtures are more congested because of the FA Cup though.
Mehrez Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 Think we’d need to win the next 4 and get 3 points out of the final 3 games, Chelsea or Arsenal at home could be doable but not likely
rn9013 Posted 17 March 2019 Posted 17 March 2019 Definitely possible and I would love for us to do it, but realistically we’d probably have to win 5 or 6 of our remaining 7 games, which is a tough ask given our last 3 fixtures. Particularly as Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea are all likely to have something to play for until the end this year. Either a title or top 4.
Foxxed Posted 17 March 2019 Posted 17 March 2019 Wolves have a decent shot at winning the FA cup. That'd put to bed our Europa league chances.
Lionheart10 Posted 18 March 2019 Posted 18 March 2019 Not sure that Brendan needs the distraction of Europa Cup at this stage of his job. I'm sure he will want to concentrate on getting his squad sorted and playing his way.Look what it did to Everton & Burnley!

I still think we was way short on games going into this season.
Mr Weller Posted 30 March 2019 Author Posted 30 March 2019 After today there’s a realistic chance of 7th and it is most likely that will win a Europa League place. Next week we could be 3 points clear of Wolves by Sat evening though they’d be a game in hand. This could be significant and help us keep Tielemans never mind give us a route into a new era and even the Champions League. Today felt like a new dawn.
Aus Fox Posted 30 March 2019 Posted 30 March 2019 7th has to be the aim, then fingers crossed Man City don’t run out of steam for the FA Cup with them chasing two other bigger prizes. Between Wolves, Watford, West Ham, Everton and ourselves it’s anyones. We need to win our next three and hope we can get something from those tough looking last three while Watford and Wolves get preoccupied with the cup.

So, in basic terms, we need then to win the FA Cup if we do finish 7th beforehand - to qualify?
LCCFox96 Posted 31 March 2019 Posted 31 March 2019 This is starting to look back on the cards after 3 good wins on the bounce. What a difference not conceding stupid injury time goals to drop both the point at Wolves and the point at Watford would've made though. We're reliant on City to win the cup of course but it'll be exciting to see if we can give it a decent go.
Aus Fox Posted 31 March 2019 Posted 31 March 2019 Anyone know what would happen if: The Premier League finishes Liverpool Man City Spurs Arsenal Man Utd Chelsea Leicester and Man Utd win the Champions League and Chelsea win the Europa League?

UEFA only allows a maximum of 5 teams per nation to enter the champions league. In this scenario Liverpool, Man City, Spurs and Man Utd enter the champions league and also Chelsea (I think they get priority over Arsenal). Only 2 teams would play in the Europa League so probably Arsenal and us
Lichfieldfox. Posted 31 March 2019 Posted 31 March 2019 Spurs will come fifth in a three horse race (perennial failures) and join us in the Europa League.
sdb Posted 31 March 2019 Posted 31 March 2019 What's the financial side of Europa look like? I'd love to watch us in Europe again but the squad would need strengthening to cope with the frankly awful Thursday, Sunday schedule.
Scotch Posted 31 March 2019 Posted 31 March 2019 The race for 7th will be interesting. Wolves, Watford and ourselves each have 3 games against teams in the top 6 so I think it's going to come down to getting points against those teams. Wolves have been very good at that this year so I can see them being the main threat when it comes to that. What we do have going for us is that Wolves and Watford play each other in a couple of weeks so something's got to give there.
