We’re not getting into Europe.

Delete Google Maps, stop trying to game the EasyJet algo and desist from reading up on obscure towns in Serbia.

We’re done. Enjoy the last two games like reasonable adult humans out for a fun time with their friends.

What if reading up about obscure towns in Serbia is our regular leisure activity when there's no football to watch?

I'll get my coat.

Agreed.

That said, I will be reading up on obscure towns in Serbia with England's World Cup qualifier there in September.

Andorra in Barcelona first though.

Just dipping into this thread, can we do it or not. ???
For those that haven’t been following…

We are relying on Forest (vs Chelsea), City and Villa wins.

Meaning Chelsea would finish 7th.

We then need Chelsea to win the Conference league final against Betis. They then qualify for the Europa League.

Then, 8th place qualifies for the Conference league.

There is, of course, the small matter of needing results in our own matches.... :ROFLMAO:

Anyone thinking this will happen should shove a few quid on an Acca that has these exact results. Will probably pay for an over inflated ticket to Moldova too.

They'll all pretty reasonable possibilities. It's just Albion getting wins over Liverpool and Spurs that could get you on to Whizz Air for your dream trip to Chisinau.

It's unlikely. Less so if we manage a point (or more) tomorrow and City avoid defeat* on Tuesday.
Then on Sunday we need Forest to beat Chelsea (who have a final a few days later), Villa to avoid defeat and us to match Brentford's result. And a few other less likely things**

*we could do with City avoiding defeat in both their games, better still, winning them both; if that happens, there are far fewer things needing to fall into place

See above. There are a fair few other scenarios that could see us playing in Europe next season. Most important is that Forest beat Chelsea and Chelsea beat Betis and we get more points in our last two games than Brentford get in their final one.

Villa and City don’t need to win. They just need a point each to finish above Chelsea if Chelsea lose to Forest.

City also have a game in hand as do we.
