I'm not that excited about the European Conference and winning it would hardly feel like a major trophy.

While I don't want to second-guess your feelings, I bet you that the morning of the final next year if we're playing in it, you'll feel differently.

Agreed. I would say it'd be like winning the League Cup, not as good as the FA Cup (Europa League ) or league (Champs League) but would still love to win it and add to our tally of major trophies won.

Yes, I am afraid they will however they need to remember that they are a Champions League club and really don’t want to end up in Europa.

We win our games remaining we will get a European spot. Need to look after our business and let things play out. It’s in our hands given who we have left to play.

Feels a bit like cup football now with the teams we have to play. We beat Brentford & Fulham next two & there fading challenge is over. Apart from Wolves, every game then has a stake in the European chase for us and whoever we are playing. I think despite our demolition of them on Saturday, Newcastle feel too far ahead, feels mad to say seeing where we have come from, but i think 5th to 7th is between Spurs, Brighton, Liverpool and ourselves. If i was Spurs I would be most nervous.

If we do win our games we will have won 14 out of 15, which would be impressive. It’s exciting at the moment because we don’t know the ceiling of what Emery can achieve.

By my reckoning

7 wins from here gives us a shot at a CL place.

6 wins and I think we’d get Europa League

5 wins and Europa still a possibility if other results went our way but most likely Conf League.

4 wins probably wouldn’t be good enough.

So it’s still a possibility and it’s great we’re even in the conversation.

Really feel we have to win the next two.

I’ve also seen Brightons run in they’ve still got to play Citeh, Arsenal, Man Yoo and Saudi Arabia. Constant Weds/Sat football from now til they rock up at ours at the end of May.

Since the West Ham draw we’ve had 5 cup finals and won them all. I fancy us to win the next two as well. Then, we’re into major cup finals.

Looked around the Concourse at HT Saturday but must have missed/couldn’t see you.

Hmmmm…
70+ points CL place but unlikely
65+ points Europa place likely
60+ points Conf place much more likely

And the biggest honour will be me sharing a lemonade with you in a European city before the night of the final😊
