UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

I hope West Ham get smashed in the final. Same as I do every English club that isn't us.

Anyone out of the scab 6 I genuinely don't mind

Yeah. The odd thing is, I remember kind-of supporting whichever English (and Scottish) sides were in Europe, although probably the last time I wanted one of the scab 6 to do anything other than be humiliated was probably Manc Utd in 1998.

That feeling isn't transferred to Wham, though. Hope they win.

Nah hope they lose. Still hold a grudge after watching us lose in the GT1 era against a shire West Ham team managed by shilly-shally Bonds. Awful fans spitting through the cage at us and very hostile exit. Fuck em.

Does any one have a list of the teams that have qualified for the conference?
What is the format of the competition?
Cheers.

"After securing 7th place, Aston Villa confirmed their spot in the Play-off round of the UECL and they are currently projected to enter the group stage.

If they enter the group stage, Aston Villa should be placed in the Pot 2."

Is this any good? Obviously not the official draw yet but gives an idea..

[PeterWithe]

Hope we don’t get Brugge, with all those thousands of Blues still stuck there, we won’t be able to drink in that city either.

[Richard E]

Rijeka would be a great away trip.

Ok, I can understand all the systems on a 767. I can tell you all about the Canal systems in the U.K., I can even have a conversation about calculus.


But I cannot understand the Europa Conference league. I’m sure I’ll understand it in the annuls of time and I’m glad we’re in it. But at the moment, it seems like it’s a whole world of surrealist confusion to me!

[PeterWithe]

Am I being thick here, why are some teams in the top list but then don’t appear in a ‘pot’?

The 2023/24 Europa League final will be held in Dublin in May 2024

Because they’re projected not to get through the qualifying round.

That's why McGinn went. Top dedication to pre-match prep.

Still quite a few countries with a set of fixtures to go, like Italy and Spain.

Also, some countries have Playoffs to get into it, like The Netherlands.

We could do without Sevilla finishing in the Conference League spot. If they do then we'd be unseeded if we got through to the Group Stage.

The Spanish teams aren't in the projections because they had to finish their tea before playong their final games.

Daft question time (and I’m going to have plenty about this competition!) but what are the advantages in this competition of being seeded v unseeded?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Being seeded for the groups, in theory you'd get 2 teams weaker than you.
