There isn’t enough evidence that 60 points isn’t enough. I believe this is the only season since we’ve been in the Premier League where 61 points hasn’t got a team Europe. Or in other words, don’t mess with the tracker!

You are correct I don’t know why I thought Leicester were on 26 points, I was giving them some undeserved credit 🤣

Last season we got our 27th point (Luton got 26 points) in our 18th game. If Leicester don’t pick up a point in their final game we’d have been safe after 19 games this season (which was the Villa game on December 30th).

I was looking at the stats and what is encouraging is our best points return has been away to teams below us where we average over 2.1 points per game with a +10 goal difference. We also have more games to play against teams in this section than any other (Brentford, Palace, Spurs and Wolves).

That article is based on something published by the Premier League and is absolute fact. 11 teams could qualify for Europe (there are a couple of ways it could happen too), however it would take a remarkable and incredibly unlikely set of results for it to happen.

The first table is accurate to how the table looked after we’d played 28 games. The one you’ve posted doesn’t take into account postponed games and when they get replayed. It groups games by the original week they were scheduled to be played.

Conference League is easier on the players as it's only 6 group games so you get at least a 2 month break from European Football from mid Dec to mid Feb (longer if you finish in the top 8). However you do have to shoehorn in two play off games at the end of August as no team automatically...

Well they paid over £100m for Caicedo at the end of one good season (and about 7 games at the end of the previous season). If Baleba keeps up his form this season he’ll have played around 20 more games at a PL level than Moises had when he left for Chelsea. The idea that someone wouldn’t have...

I think the only time that sort of question could lead to a possible dilemma is if the choice was winning the FA Cup and getting into the Europa League or finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th and getting into the Champions League. I think then I'd still go with actually winning a trophy even if it meant a...

I totally agree but @GT49er has already said they'd rather end up in the Conference League next season because they thought the Europa League was a step too far last season. I'm sure most of us would just accept getting to European competition again without any caveats because it means we've...

If we won the FA Cup we'd be guaranteed Europa League at a minimum. So if you could pick would you go Conference League or winning the FA Cup?

Would you still pick the Conference League over getting into the Europa League because we'd won the FA Cup?

It was not a step too far. We were competitive in the group stage winning what was considered the toughest group draw most of us could have imagined. We then got unlucky to draw one of the toughest teams we could face out of potential last 16 opponents. Roma made the final the season before. Had...
