That’s correct.
No Europa winner doesn’t affect us just means one of two teams who have stuck the league out this season get a CL place.
Come on Man City on Saturday otherwise its Levski Sofia for us.

The other thing to bear in mind is that even if we do end up in the Conference league, we would then have a chance to get into the Europa league the season after if we win it. That way we wouldn’t be as reliant on repeating our form in the league, which will be difficult when competing on several fronts

There is more to life than the CL.
Many seem to have become obsessed with it.
How about we just weren't quiet good enough but we gave it a great shot and that deserves immense credit.
We are back in Europe and back on the football map.
We should all be proud of that.

Looks like Villa and Chelsea playing on the Friday night and FA Cup final is Saturday so we'll know what we're playing for on Sunday.
Maybe Spurs/Utd use those games as the warm up for the final to get into good rhythm.
They could both fail to win on Friday, Man City win FA Cup and suddenly we're safe in Europa and CL back in our own hands.

I'll be putting a jinx bet on Palace on Saturday of an amount that I'm not bothered about losing. Palace win and I get some money (their odds are really long for a two-horse race). Palace lose and we're in the Europa League.

Apparantly if Chelsea were to win the Conference League and finish 6th, then there would be 3 teams in the Europa League and 9 English clubs in Europe, which would mean 9th gets Conference League
