Crazy talk, we won't get anywhere near it. In any case a european campaign would only complicate our chances of staying up next season.

Only the FA Cup winners qualify for the Europa League. If they have already qualified for Europe through the league, then the Europa League place (3rd qualifying round I think) goes to 7th place in the league. A maximum of 7 English teams can qualify UEFA competitions, so finishing 8th will never allow you to qualify for the Europa League. English clubs get either 5 CL places + 2 EL places, or 4 CL places + 3 EL places.

Sadly the rules changed after Millwall got into Europe and played (I think) Ferencvaros. No places for cup runners-up.
Quite agree, lucky there’s no Palace twats around to read these sort of threads..

God, are we really self-censoring our dreams and ambitions on here nowadays in case Crystal Palace fans take the piss at a later date?

The palace goons win when they take away any joy.
I hope TB and PB never mention european ambitions.

I seriously hadn't thought of it that way around, so for that I'm sorry, take no notice of my prior post... and f any trolls that come along.
let's go and turn Utd over on the 17th, after 3 points at Everton next Saturday, and safety and Europe could be a step nearer.

I have lots of dreams and you'd all take the piss if I posted them here. Sometimes you need to keep things to yourself.God, are we really self-censoring our dreams and ambitions on here nowadays in case Crystal Palace fans take the piss at a later date?

Well that's not true. Article from 2014:

I seem to recall there was some piss taking at the time.
It is too early to even want to qualify for Europe. Whilst it would be an exceptional achievement. Next year will also be a struggle so thee extra games would put a strain on the squad. We will still be in a position where we need to keep players free of injury. So for me ''No'' - I wouldn't even want to qualify for it

More patience needed.
We have only just beaten Arsenal. We aren't yet ready to take on a load of European fixtures as well as Premier League. We need to build even more strength in the squad before we can even think of that.

I highly recommend It's a Gift - the shop opposite the beach at Borth. It has the finest array of random tat that I have ever seen in my life (and I've been to many UK and overseas gift shops).

Miserable gits.
We're 6 points off Europe on the assumption Spurs, Man u or Chelsea win the cup and 7 above relegation. Hardly unreasonable to have a thread about it. After all, who wouldn't be looking forward to the #disgrace thread after we get turned over by some Lithuanian part timers in the Europa league preliminary rounds? Watching some Eastern European Postman slot a winner in the 89th minute before we get beaten up by the local rozzers are what dreams are made of.

Some serious tinpottery in this thread. Some people really are of the opinion that being in the PL is the raison d'être for all football clubs aren't they?. I personally just like to see The Albion doing as well as they possibly can regardless of what league they're playing in. If you're seriously saying that you DON'T want to see Brighton play in EUROPE next season because the extra games MIGHT have an effect on our PL status, then you're a bit sad.
