So for example if we finish 6th that will qualify for Europa Cup but if Man Utd win the FA Cup we would enter the Europa Conference league instead. Where would 7th position in the league qualify us for ?? If we finish 6th we are in the Europa League if City win the Cup, Conference League if Utd win the cup. If we finish 7th we are in the Conference League if City win the Cup, not in Europe if Utd win the cup (assuming Utd finish 8th). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we finish 7th and Utd win Cup, we get nothing. If City win Cup, we get Conference. 5th is the only way to guarantee Europa regardless of the Cup Final result. 9 minutes ago, chiswickblue said: If we finish 6th we are in the Europa League if City win the Cup, Conference League if Utd win the cup.

If Utd finish 6th, then 7th gets Conference regardless of the Cup Final result. Edited May 13 by CarefreeMuratcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly confident working on the assumption City win the FA Cup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonb Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 16 hours ago, CarefreeMuratcan said: United losing against Arsenal means we probably only need 1 win to guarantee Conference. For Europa we need Newcastle to draw 1 game (they play United) and win both our remaining games or if United beat them then 1 win, 1 draw is enough. Both assume City beat United in the FA Cup. I think we will get Europa. City to win the Cup and the League and open up a 5th CL place and we will get one of the next two EL places. Of course we need to finish higher than Utd and we have a 3pt advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If English teams had performed better in Europe this year and 5th had opened up to CL, 7th would have been enough for Europa League with City winning the FA Cup. Shame. But hopefully next year it will be in our hands to give the league a 5th CL place and to ourselves benefit from it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1905 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Sorry to piss on everyone's parade but just can't see us winning our last two games. We've had a handful of very good performances surrounded by anything from absolutely awful to just about acceptable. If we'd been really good against Forest I'd share some of yours optimism but we were pretty shit and lucky to come away with the three points.

Yes but neither team has anything to play for, I think that will edge it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do that, we will be fifth. Just an aside,,I (we?) need Manure Spuds The Arse and basically any side playing in red to lose every week...it's in the blood! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But both of them can go out and be relaxed and playing without tension can help a team perform better. This is the first game this season i wont be able to watch on TV or follow on the radio. Tbh, I'm not that fussed about us playing in the Europa League. Too many Thursday/Sunday games for my liking. But we'll have a lot of players wanting and needing game time next season, so there is that to take into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In either competition, finishing top 8 (out of 36) will mean we skip a 2 legged knockout round and go straight to last 16. 15 hours ago, boratsbrother said: I have a sneaky feeling Spurs will get at least a draw against City giving Arse the title and Utd will win the final.
