Europe Thread 25/26

UEFA have confirmed that the team finishing 7th in the Premier League this season could qualify for the 2026–27 Champions League if:

Aston Villa win the Europa League and finish 5th or 6th in the Premier League

Liverpool win the Champions League and finish 5th or 6th in the Premier League.
Lose a place if villa finish 4th though, and that's looking likely
We gotta target 5th
Next two are massive games but I fancy us to do it.
 
…..they won’t want the status quo disrupted, I’ve alway believed our aim is to be the best team in this city.

It sounds very parochial but I just think if we achieve that then things will look after themselves.

I'm genuinely convinced that a big factor in the Reds blowing that half a billion in the summer was because of our new stadium opening. They're sweating in the same way that United were when City started putting sky blue Welcome to Manchester billboards up all round town when their march started. Like United tho, Lpool will learn that you can't turn back the tide.

….i’m reminded of an interview with a financial scholar when our build was getting underway. Ironically, he was a big RS fan and he was firm in the belief that the new stadium could catapult Everton above them to the very top level.

Whilst I'm hopeful we can close the gap (or even leapfrog them in the league on the odd season), I can't see a future where we dominate them the same way City have dominated United. They still have a modernised 60k stadium and they'll still win stuff. We still have PSR to contend with. City were on cheat mode and were backed by an actual petro state.

I agree, but when it comes to their “modernised” stadium, I’m reminded of when I drove past Anfield with my youngest a few months ago. I pointed it out to her and she screwed up her face and said, “what THAT is Liverpool’s actual proper stadium?! Not very good compared to ours is it?!”
 
Need that sweet sweet european football. Anyone following the Serie A to see if we will be bumped down a competition or not?

Also think, it is nice that people are starting to consider us for european competitions next year. We still need to win most of our games and it is good to have something positive to play for.
 
Looking forward to WW3 as soon as we win or qualify for something
Haha, we all know how this plays out!!

1. We finish 5th and get Champions League qualification. Liverpool 6th and Europa League.

2. Last second of Roma's last game, they score to qualify for Champions League themselves and it comes out that TFG never sent the fax in time cos, well on March 1st there was ZERO chance of us getting Champions League right?

3. We are disqualified from the Champions League and our place is awarded to.... Well, you get it. :coffee:
