7th Place - Yes or No

[Brisan123]

1995, I was 13 years old, now I'm just about to turn 39.. I want to see our captain lift a cup again its been too long, I don't care what competition it is, 1995 it's been too long.

You are only a baby at 39

Final is due to be played in Tirana in Albania as far as i know in a 22 thousand capacity stadium

Wouldn’t it just be ‘Everton that’ if we made the final

Yes just to pipe down the ‘Allardyce got 8th we haven’t improved’ fan boys.

We need Europa League, anything else is a bit lame for me.

So many potential ace European aways if we get this, choose it over the Europa League

Ideally I'd want us to finish as high as we can, but if 7th is the highest we can achieve then I'll take it. It's progress on a road to somewhere and could give any new signings in the summer a chance to bed themselves down in the team quicker or even put our dross in the shop window to be snapped up. As fans we'd all prefer to see EFC playing any games between weekends rather than having to watch / hear about other teams playing instead. I think our squad will be able to cope with Europe next year and who know when we may qualify for Europe again, so let's take the opportunity if it's available.

Is there any possibility that a Europa League spot drops down to 7th (and thus Conference League to 8th) - CL-qualified team winning FA Cup or United winning EL for example?

No
Maximum of seven teams in Europe from the PL

Await the posts here Thursday night.

Rather finish 5th or 6th, but if it's a choice between 7th and 8th, I'll take 7th please.

Those denigrating the Conference League, look at some of the teams from the other big leagues that we could be in with should we get a place

France - Marseille (could also be Rennes or Lens)

Germany - Bayer Leverkusen (outside chance of either Monchengladbach or Union Berlin)

Italy - Roma (but could also be Sassuolo)

Spain - Villarreal (could be Betis, Real Sociadad or Celta Vigo if results turn or Villarreal win Europa League)

Plus there’s Vitesse and one of 4 teams including Feyenoord from Netherlands, Hibs and Aberdeen from Scotland, Ferreira and 1 from 4 teams from Portugal, potentially Genk, Anderlecht or Standard from Belgium

I honestly just don't understand the debate at all. Not wanting us to come 7th basically involves actively wanting us to lose games. It's a bizarre mindset that I don't think i'll ever be able to reconcile in my head.

Yes, our club should always be challenging or playing in Europe.

1000% yes. Tbh I don’t even think we’ll get top 7 but if we do I’ll be delighted with getting in this. 1 we’d be in with a very good chance of lifting a pot, something a lot of us have never seen us do, 2 it would be good for aways, and 3 it’d be a good chance to blood talented young players
