Ha, yes. I'd like Albion to finish with two wins. But Brentford do the same.
8th is now a case of 'After you' 'No, after you'

Didn't we have the chance to get to 2 FACup finals recently.
Couldn't even do that!
Boot on other foot and all that bollox...

Years? We're still banging on about 1983 and we didn't even win the thing.
This is it. All of us will be long-dead before this day is not being mentioned, sung and savoured by them.
Yep hate them.
Admire them today though. Outstanding manager and Eze is frustratingly likeable.

Sorry the only thing they got lucky with was no red card for Henderson. City were shite and Palace defended well. Trust me it hurts to admit that

We only have ourselves to blame.
And? It's still Croydon, innit? I know where I'd rather be and which club to support.

Yeah, lets blame the 'football gods' FFS .......
Henderson not getting sent off was incredibly lucky, it was a stonewall red card! Completely changed the course of the match.
Dunno though
I keep hearing that if Chelsea finish 6th or lower 8th will get conference league still. Chelsea have forest away last game so I wouldn't write anything off just yet

I'm feeling bitter but the reality is we should probably be competing in Europe with them next season, our mid season blip cost us massively.
Just need to hope their foray in Europe ends in 0 points and a derailed domestic season.

As one who is old enough to remember where this started, Zaha leaving was a great disappointment and then we went soaring past them.
This ? Just means it's on again

That is possible with a number of equations. Even plausible if Forest can beat West Ham and Chelsea.
My reading is that if they have already qualified for the Europa League via a European victory no extra place is awarded. It's the case for the Champions League. Perhaps someone else can confirm.

That's my take too. So what if they have "bragging rights", whatever that means.
I don't get upset when Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, etc., etc , win a trophy, so I won't know!

As I understand it if Chelsea win the Conference League and fail to qualify for the Champions League then there would be an extra Europa League spot and no Conference League spot. That would mean 6th and 7th plus the FA Cup winners would get Europa League football next season.
If Chelsea win the conference and qualify for the Champions League then 6th and the FA Cup winners get Europa League and 7th gets Conference League.
There appears to be some weird anomaly with the Conference League that I don’t quite understand as it doesn’t apply to the winners of Europa League or Champions League if they also qualify through the league.
Let's be real, here: They have done the 'thing' which we dream of. Do I hate it? Of course I do, just as they would if the boot was on the other foot. Does that make them 'better' than us? No, not in the slightest, but I can accept bragging rights from them. this year.
Far too much is placed upon a trophy as opposed to a whole season.
We'll finish above them....again.
All that said, it was a great result for footy, today - no one needed to see City win again, unless you're an Oasis fan.
Let them gloat.....for now.

That was my thought, although looking at ESPN they seem to disagree and think that a Conference place would go to 8th.
That said, this would require a lot of combos to drop our way. I think I'll just call time on the season's hopes now and leave things there
