Leeroy Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 All in our hands. Brighton won't be easy but we know exactly what we need to do, just need to win with a huge crowd behind us, and this great club is finally back in Europe again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Dunno what is more preferable, Brighton losing the next two so top 6 is achievable but makes final game harder or Brighton win one of the next two potentially making final game easier!

Amazing first season from Emery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go for gold surely. The Europa League would be fantastic. The conference much much less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 IF the season ends with the table as it is now, it will be correct on the balance of things IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I'd rather be in Europa than Conference league, think our trajectory could sky rocket if we did, but don't mind conference either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit bemused why so many are getting in a state that it's a big disaster if we don't finish 6th now. People do realise if Spurs had just held on to the 1-0 they'd have been big favourites for 7th regardless of what we did. It's now there for us and personally I'm very happy with any form of european football so I'd much rather Brighton pitched up at VP with 6th all done and not caring one bit and playing with very little intensity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conference has always been my aim, an I think we are about there. Worst case is we need to beat Brighton, they are done for 6th flip flops on, but still play a hard game and beat us, just no need, I will hate them for eternity!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brighton lose their next two - they will have lost 4 of their last 5, 5 of their last 7. They'll be doing well to pick themselves up from that - especially if City spank them.

LondonLax Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 We’re still in it going into the last day so that’s as much as you could ask for really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allani Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Whatever happens on the last day - we are in a much, much better position to sell the project to players and agents than we've been for a long time. Even if we miss out on Europe we can still point to the fact that for 24 matches (?) we've been in the top 3 or 4 in the league in terms of form. That absolutely backs up what we are trying to sell. Obviously qualifying for either of the 2 European competitions makes it that little bit easier to get potential deals over the line. But I don't think we should under-estimate the pull that Emery has, the money that I think we will be spending and the fact that we have a good contingent of Spanish / Portuguese speaking players already at the club which will make it easier for our summer signings to settle in (and a pretty good bunch of English speaking players for anyone we are signing closer to home). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
