@rebel51 I'd say the odds are in our favour and don't think that's rose-tinted glasses on my part. The bookies agree we're on course for top 7.
I think are more pessimistic fans are blinkered by the fact their focus is on us, which is understandable. I'm sure if you went on the forums of our competitors for a European place you'd find similar posta decrying missing opportunities.
Man I have taken 1 point from the last 6 available. Liverpool 3, same as Brentford.
We've taken 4. A stonking home win then a draw away from home.
Our form is top 6 over the last 6 games. Top 4 over the last 10. (See below).
Could it be that recency bias after drawing a game we could've one is affecting your perception?

That's fair enough, I am pessimistic by nature, so my views are often used as an insurance policy if we fail which I seriously think we will.lol. no hard feelings.

Sorry, but I'm having trouble keeping up, to clarify if the top 7 were to finish
Arsenal
City
Utd
Spurs
Newcastle
Us
Liverpool
But from outside those clubs, Chelsea won the CL (god help us) and the Hammers won the Conference, us and the Bin Dippers wouldn't qualify for Europe, even if we win the FA Cup, as no country can have more than 7 clubs in Europe?
Doesn't sound right really.

I think winning the FA Cup would guarantee Europa League regardless.
The biggest hypothetical worry is if West Ham win the Conference League and we finish 7th. As from what I can work out, that would mean no European football. I’m not 100% though as the best info I can find is from this page https://www.premierleague.com/european-qualification-explained

What about getting to Wembley but losing to Man City who win the EPL as well as the cup?

There was the potential for 8 teams a few seasons ago when Wolves went deep in the Europa League, however that was before the creation of the UEFA Conference League so not sure how things might have changed now.

I know it’s getting carried away territory but I’d really like some definitive confirmation on what happens to European places if West Ham win the ECL. They have a very good chance unfortunately.
Anyone think they can work it out?

Not sure I believe that if we were going to break our transfer record we would have done so regardless, a lot of work would have gone into the potential deal before hand.
