The weirdest bit is hoping for Man City to win the cup just so the European slot goes to the league.

I'd be absolutely gutted if we finished above manure but they nicked our European place by winning the FA Cup.

Agreed. Out of curiosity, how would you feel if Coventry upset the odds and won the cup? With us finishing sixth and losing Europa that way.

I'd be quite satisfied with conference personally, and enjoy the fairytale. Although my opinion might be different if it resulted in us getting no Europe at all haha

Obviously massively unlikely, but I’d love it. Would be great to see a club like Coventry win it after what they’ve been through over the past few years.

I'd quite happily live with the conference, it's if we finished 7th and missed out completely that would annoy me...

I'd be quite happy with the Conference and could see us as one of the strongest teams with a good chance if winning it, a bit like Villa this season. As for Coventry I have had a bit of soft spot for them ever since the Willie Carr/Ernie Hunt free kick routine so would quite like them them to win it but even if they were to beat manure I can't see them beating either citeh or chelski in the final although anything can happen in football.

Yeah we’ll have had a decent 10 day break so expecting us to start quickly and really press them.

Well, Chelsea deserve that. If you keep missing chances expect to get punished eventually.

Chelsea’s Jackson plays like he’s bet himself not to score in 90 mins.

Could do with Eze and Alosi getting injured, be a lot more confident.

If they had Isak up front, they would have won comfortably. That Jackson is garbage at one on ones.

Isak would easily be on 30+ a season if he got the chances that someone like Darwin, Haaland or Jackson gets. Hopefully he’s 30+ for us next season!
