[Weststander]

Up to 7th after plucky old Bournemouth's demise against the Bees.

The bookies currently have us finishing 7th, but with odds not much longer that Newcastle in 6th.

Yep that feels like our par position for now. Might change with a couple more wins on the bounce.

If not, Fab Out?

 

[Gabbafella]

None of this will matter when we lift the FA Cup.

 

[Official Old Man]

It's going to be an exciting last few weeks.

If not, Fab Out?

I’ve been fully Fab In the whole time. Several more Fab years to come.

Get a load of this. BBC reckon 11 teams could qualify for Europe.
Nice to see we're 6th

Champions League: Race for top five intensifies as Newcastle win

Newcastle move into third and take control of the race of Europe next season - but how is it stacking up behind them?

That article is based on something published by the Premier League and is absolute fact. 11 teams could qualify for Europe (there are a couple of ways it could happen too), however it would take a remarkable and incredibly unlikely set of results for it to happen.

The odds are 0.0002%. 1 in 500k chance.

I.e. us winning the prem, fa cup and league cup next season is probably the same odds.

The team that finishes 11th could qualify for Europe? Great news for Palace

Looking at the table I thought the same.

Not really, they would finish 12th.

 

[JetsetJimbo]

Not really, they would finish 12th.

Gives 'em something to aim for though, this is as exciting as football gets for Palace fans

 

[Mo Gosfield]

I always target 1.5 pts average per game....i.e .....targetting 57 pts. That represents a fringe or just in Europe place. At present we are averaging 1.62 pts per game which would result in 62 pts.
That would match RDZ's first season when we came 6th.

Quick 'who will qualify for Europe?' update.
Still on track for 5 UCL places.
6th will be UEL spot and unaffected by any other cup win.
7th and here is the 'maybe' UEL place. This goes to either the FA Cup winners or 7th place if Cup winners are in the top 6. Man City or Forest are the two teams likely to be top 6 although Villa may slip in. Of course form could fall in the league and the cup winners may drop out the top 6, but that of course leaves a league spot for another team anyway.
8th if all above goes to form then 8th is free for the Conference unless Newcastle still have a hangover and fall to 8th or below but again see above for freeing up a place in the EPL if Newcastle drop down.
Regarding the league, you have to presume the top three will finish in those positions but I don't fancy the Chelsea run in.

A lot of negative comments on here, but last night was a zero expectation on both trackers so we are still on track for Europe. A win on Saturday would make a big difference.
