Oh well, third place it is then.

Knowing our luck yes.
The club want Euro revenue so anything less than the Europa will be a massive failure and an embarrassment to the club
I'd rather not be in the CL either as it massively distracts us throughout the league season in our bid to qualify for the CL, which we should really be wanting to be in as a club of our size.
Can't see us winning either of our last 2 tbh, which would most likely leave us 4th

Not getting second in this group and letting Barry roam free is already a massive failure and embarrassment to the club
2nd, and we get an easy draw next round before being smashed by a good side the round after

Indeed. CL qualification is a Sisyphean task for us and a good few other clubs.

This. Not meaning to make negative predictions but I'd be gobsmacked if we won either game.
Do you guys realize that we need the revenue from either competition? We are already at the FFP limit and any additional income will help.

There's not a great deal of revenue from playing a few rounds of Europa League football. Granted it's more than nothing at all but that won't even touch the sides.
And if we are being ultra positive and we managed to come 2nd....how long do you expect us to stay in the competition? Could well be a last 16 exit given we'd face a group winner which isn't much more revenue for the club anyway.

Very few top sides in Europe right now.
If we do go through our potential opponents can be and are in some cases highly unlikely to be
Real Madrid or Napoli
Lens or PSV
Real Sociedad or Inter
Atletico, Lazio or Feyenoord
Dortmund, PSG or Milan
Leipzig
Porto, Barca or Shaktar
Other than Real and Barca who are both still a shadow of past sides and maybe PSG on their day there really isn’t a lot to greatly fear in the CL.
Having said that we are struggling in a group with Gala and Copenhagen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The fact we don’t seem able to even make it into that list is a stark reminder of where we are at
If we win by one goal and draw vs Bayern, with the assumption that Copenhagen or Gala win in the final game,
We’d have a situation where we’re level on points and H2H results (inc goals for and against) with Gala/ Copenhagen.
Who would qualify?
guess it'd come down to goal difference?
A win v Gala and draw v Bayern would take us to seven points and, at worst, a GD of -1. Because we've scored quite a few then Gala would have to win their final game by at least 3 goals and Copenhagen by at least 2 goals (unless they're involved in high scoring games). If we beat Gala by two then a draw v Bayern means we'd finish above them on head to head.
To me the Gala game seems very pivotal. We've been poor away from home under Ten Hag in the tough grounds so we could really do with reversing that fortune this week.
The spanner in the works, of course, would be Copenhagen getting something v Bayern!
