7 pts clear of 8th place in the race for the Europa league

[Spijed]

All said and done it's a good position to be in.

[BabylonClaret]

Its excellent. But it should be 9 really.

And but for an inept referee it would be.

We are king of the mortals.

This is why I am so incandescent with rage about that penalty decision.

My eyes are firmly on that prize as I have made clear on here numerous times. The chance to see me beloved club in European competition could never happen again, if we miss out by a point or two when decisions like that have gone against us it would be heartbreaking.

....no, it would just be typical. There's always been a certain inevitability about how things will turn out with Burnley and a typical one or two point miss out on a Europa League place would be entirely consistent with the fate that usually befalls us (and refused penalty decisions are all part of that). Nothing to get too worked up about - it's just the way it is.

does 7th get a European spot and if so how ....?

[BabylonClaret]

Im with jedi here. Everybody (including g the Huddersfield players) except the arsehole in black knew that was a pen

Generally yes, due to teams that have already qualified for European competition via league position (i.e, City, Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool) winning one or both of the two domestic trophies - which gives those Europa League positions to the next best league finishers.

I think the understanding I have now from the last time this came up on here is that 7th generally always gets a Europa League position, and often 8th does as well.

Having visions now of being drawn against Leicester in the Europa......

Champions league with a little luck.

It works both ways - both Palace and Stoke should have at least drawn against us. I don't think we should have any more points than we currently have.

Robbed of at least three points this season via penalty decisions against Arsenal and Huddersfield.
