It's just so unfathomable. There is an extreme example in which the team who finish 6th fail to make Europe at all
Newcastle United win the League Cup but drop out of the top six (Conference League)
Someone other than Manchester City wins the FA Cup but doesn't make the top six (Europa League)...
That's the kind of mantra I would expect from a Chelsea fan, not a Brighton one. I'd be more than happy to see Bournemouth in there. I'd rather it be us, obviously.
