The joke will be on them if they are on the Faroe Islands for their first Conference game!
The conference league is embarrassing but not as embarrassing as finishing below this Woolwich team.
That would be the 2nd best possible outcome, best will be finishing 6th to secure Europa League
Definitely, but the least likely of the four options given that it requires our bunch of bottlers to actually turn up.

Right....... I'm set on this being a must win now.
My mates (work colleagues) who support Woolwich have already been texting that they're putting the bunting out for St Totteringham day......... They know in their heart of hearts that were going to lose today.
No matter how shite you're feeling just imagine that lot gloating over us over the most pathetic small minded small club mentality victory.
It can't be allowed to happen.

I genuinely don't see the problem with the ECL (I'd love it if they start calling it that, as it looks like the other ECL... it's just they'll have to keep replacing 'Champions' with Conference!)
...If it's SO beneath us, then just name a squad full of kids for the entire competition, and treat it with the disrespect it apparently deserves!
It's like the St Johnstone's Paint trophy (or whatever it was) where all the PL clubs just named a Youth/'B' team...Will be as good as a loan move for some of them!
why don't we just do that and see how well they do...?

If we get into the Conference League we might get to play Union Berlin!
But we're not going to qualify for it now so it's all moot anyway.

If we are in it, try and win it, unlike any other time we have been in Europe.
This is an embarrassment of a competition I hope no senior player will be involved in this nonsense
Europa league place
I can understand Woolwich gloating if they were top 4 and we were 5th. But sneaking into the European Conference League in 7th and crowing about it is absurd. Both clubs are finishing below a David Moyes West Ham. Neither of us should be anything other than be ashamed. For me usually Europe is better than no Europe, except this Conference League shit will wreck your next season to give you the booby prize of Europa League if you win it ! It’s ridiculous and really, all things considered, I’d rather not. So 8th for me (although we could well be 9th yet if Everton do the impossible) we will lose today I suspect so Woolwich can have the bragging rights, let’s not forget how much finishing above them matters to the players. Eg 2016.
Let's roll the dice and beat Leicester. If we end up in the 3rd rate league we use it to play out youngsters. News is just in that Chelsea and Leicester may be docked points for their bad conduct. Maybe they Docked 10 points each, West Ham Looses and we win. Yippee we win the Spurs League (We end up above Woolwich and in the top 4)
I was out with a Goon last night who is separate to lose and avoid it
It’s more than we will want to be going into top 4 (probably won’t) next season and having so many additional games will hurt the team.
I have no issue going into it long as we send the youth players and assistant manager.
It almost guarantees that we won’t compete for too 4 next season.
No thankd
Top 4? You’re having a laugh mate. There are very strong teams in the league at the minute, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and even Man Utd are well above us. Add in the prospect of losing Kane and we won’t be anywhere near top 4. Fans need to understand that this rebuild will be indeed painful and needs time and stability, I think it’s very unrealistic to expect top 4 next season, no matter who’s the manager.
