[Albion] Apparently 8th place "still gets Europe", if...

[JonnyComeEarly]

...Chelsea win the conference final and finish 6th or 7th outside of the Champions League places (says the Argus)

Thought Sky previously said this wasn't the case

Does anyone know?

There's also the possibility of City being deducted points

Not happening

There's also the possibility of City being deducted points

And also *definitely* not happening, this season anyway.

We had an incredible chance of achieving European football, in a season where two of the ‘Big Six’ were unbelievably bad, something very unlikely to happen again, and we completely and utterly blew it.

That’s where drawing 1-1 at home to the second worst team in Premier League history, and blowing TWO two goal leads after the 85th minute, gets you.

No. The number of Europe places have now been decided. Seventh place is now conference league, unless it’s Chelsea and they win the conference league final. Then Chelsea qualify for the Europa league and England has no team in the conference league.

This is the correct answer. Start planning for next season.

That’s almost the total opposite of what the BBC (via Lineker on MOTD) claimed last weekend.

1,000 please!! Wretched c***s

For losing to Palace?

Didn’t see that. Suggest you write a strongly worded letter to Anne Robinson

So no one actually knows for sure between sky, the argus and bbc

If @Seagull Stew is right then Lineker and BBC are wrong, as they just said that is definitely the case on TV.

If Chelsea win conference and finish 6th or 7th, european place will go down to 8th.

Colour me confused now. BBC and ESPN saying something different to Sky.

 

[Eeyore]

I think they forgot to add that the UK also need to finish in the top 8 of the Eurovision Song Contest.

So that's over then.

Who Man City couldnt beat either..!!!

 

[Flounce]

No way am I letting hope get in the way of an already shit day!

Bournemouth are not going to lose to the sideways and backwards passing old men of City
Brentford will not get less points than us in the next two games
Palace will probably also finish above us as we lose the next two games and they are on a high.

Yes I am THAT down
