UEFA conference League
|
|
Google it. I had to.
In all likelihood 7th place won't get a Europa League place, but that team will be entered into a new competition: the UEFA conference League.
It's European football, but not as we know it!

It's not... first of all there's a long drawn out qualifying stage
Then it's a group stage (eight groups with four teams).
Then the eight teams that finished second in the groups play off against the teams that finished third to qualify for the knock out stage along with the eight group winners.
Then it's last sixteen which goes by a standard knock out (which I presume is two legs until the final).
Got to say, the play off matches between the clubs that finished second and third in the group stages sounds completely unnecessary.

Why so negative? Who can't forget the great Intertoto? Our last European Cup glory.
Metz away was a great memory.

I am with Rossal on this, desperate to see us in Europe and I don't care who we play.
I was too young to go to Palermo away but remember the home game fondly (even though Tevez missed a sitter from 5 yards out).

Could a third European trophy not have been in the form of a cup competition, like in the days of the Cup Winners Cup? That would have been much better.
Must everything now be in the format of a dogshit league with a load of games that are mostly meaningless in the early stages.
Not for me this, don't fancy it at all. Not in the 'it's better than nothing' camp. Hoping we win our final five and get Champions League, but not going to happen.

It looks shit and probably will be shite but id rather that than nothing. I've never been able to experience Europe and with the dildos in charge wouldnt bet against this being my best chance in years to do so
So get me to a shitole in eastern europe watching our reserves next season as it could easily be Cheltenham away in 3 years

The winner will get automatic entry to the following seasons Europa league, whoop di fucking do....
Not sure this will be watched or talked about much, unless West Ham is in it of course!
Seems like a Cup to be won by teams who don’t usually win cups, so that’s us!!! And Spurs...LOL
A lot of teams especially the bigger clubs I suspect won’t take it too seriously; it will be almost embarrassing for them to be in it. And then let’s face it, the champion’s league isn’t of much interest until the knockout stages, the Europa League until the final so fuck knows when this comp will be in the spotlight?

So based on that we’ll finish 8th, the West Ham way

The BBC article is incorrect.
We only get 7 European places maximum, regardless of who wins Europa or Champions Leagues.

Re: UEFA conference League

Only way 7th won't get europa is if arsenal win it this yr
Or if Chelsea win the champions league and finish outside the top 4.
Or Leicester win the FA cup and finish outside the top 4.
Or if Chelsea win the FA cup and finish outside the top 4.

BBC done article on it yesterday.
Apparently up to 8/9 teams could qualify for a European spot depending on who wins what competition.
Bloody confusing.

X Leagues more games and more money than cups. I would like to see us playing in Europe again.

Re: UEFA conference League

It would be disappointing this year after what the team have done to finish outside a European place.
If we can’t get champions league then I think conference league would be better than the europa.
More winnable plus we can play fringe players. Youngsters that don’t usually get a chance etc. Should not disrupt our premier league campaign too much.

They just shouldn’t have called it conference, makes it sound so shitty. Statto fact, if we qualify for Europe it will be the 7th decade in a row we’ve competed in Europe at least once, bet only a few others can say the same

Anything in Europe should be a bonus, Palermo away was immense.
I do however think that anyone who voted for Brexit shouldn't be allowed to go if we qualify.
Out means out apparently!

I'm not sure if I like the idea of us being in the 'Conference League'. It makes us sound like we're the European equivalent

All for this, as a previous poster said its one we should actually be challenging for!
Also hopefully it would not affect our league performance too much as easier opponents.
