[Albion] Best and worst case end of season for the Albion

[Flounce]

Feel free to add anything I’ve missed or got wrong

Worst - we qualify for the Conference, Palace win the Cup and oust us from Europe

2nd worst - Palace win their last two games and we lose both of ours and they finish above us but lose in the Cup. Neither of us make Europe

3rd worst - Palace lose in the Cup and TB’s bete noir Brentford pip us to Europe but we finish above Palace

Best - Palace lose in the Cup and we qualify for Europe

2nd best - Palace lose in the Cup and we gain at least the point but fail to qualify for Europe but finish above them

It’s all a bit exciting, worryIng and stressful

Have I missed anything obvious?

 

[The Optimist]

The worst doesn’t really happen as the cup final is before we know where we’re finishing.

 

[Chicken Run]

Palace Win the cup and finish above us

 

[Freddo]

Surely the worst is us losing both remaining games, and Palace winning all 3 to take the cup, European spot, and finishing above us in the league?

Indeed, that and some sort of asteroid strike in Larnsing.

Or TB declares "f*** this club, I'm a rugby man now"...

Or we all die of syphilis.


There are many things worse than finishing outside of the European places...

And getting a paper cut.

Surely if Palace did win the cup and finish eighth then they would be forced to forfeit their own European spot and relegated for wasting everyone's time?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Worst:

1. Bournemouth finishing above us and getting the Conference place.

2. Palace winning the FA Cup.

Best:

1. We scrape into the Conference, which is a winnable competition.

 

[Brian Fantana]

The best scenario see us qualifying for the Europa League, but that requires a few extra dominoes to fall into place.

 

[Taybha]

The fuzz show up and open my freezer.

 

[Bob!]

1. Bournemouth finishing above us and getting the Conference place.

2. Palace winning the FA Cup.

Bournemouth can't get a Conference place (Neither can we) if Palace win the cup

 

[Official Old Man]

Surely if Palace did win the cup and finish eighth then they would be forced to forfeit their own European spot and relegated for wasting everyone's time?

Like the teams in 16th & 17th who are playing out a European final with the winner going into the Champions League

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Bournemouth can't get a Conference place (Neither can we) if Palace win the cup

Obviously. I think I'm trying to say that in my opinion the worst case is Bournemouth getting the Conference place. Palace getting it is the second-worst case.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Best Case: 6 points from 2 remaining games
Worst Case: 0 points from 2 remaining games

Everything else can sort itself out around us

 

[jackanada]

Best case.
Some CB from our academy gets a game and not only looks quick but causes arguments as to whether he's more like Carlos Puyol or Paolo Maldini.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Or we all die of syphilis.

Or I decide to run amok and slice up myself, my family and my neighbours
with the incredibly sharp knife I bought from a prompt on YouTube.

 

[Anger]

And getting a paper cut.

Ooooh! Nasty.

 

[Flounce]

Obviously. I think I'm trying to say that in my opinion the worst case is Bournemouth getting the Conference place. Palace getting it is the second-worst case.

Is there any chance of Palace getting a Conference place? Is that what winning the FA Cup gets you? As there is zero chance of them losing that and ending up above Brentford, Bournemouth and us imo
