Europa Conference League

This has to be West Ham United's best chance of winning a major trophy since 1980, surely.
There is mainly utter dross in this competition, and it would be an epic failure if a club with our squad doesn't at least reach the showpiece final in Prague next June.
We can't cock this up, surely?

Major trophy? Its on a par with the anglo italian cup. Should they reach the final it would be a great away day mind.

Villareal Lazio and Fiorentina if they win their play offs are still big clubs.
Hopefully we get some decent draws and get to play at home 2nd.
I’d love to win this trophy.

It’s not a lot better than the intertoto but I remember how nice it get to win that back in 1998 (?) plus its a gateway to Europa proper so we must take it seriously. We have every chance of winning it

Automatic entry into Europa League makes it better than the Intertoto, surely?

Didn't winning the Intertoto get us into the UEFA cup?

Said it before ,Spurs did not get out the group stage playing kane n song. Lot of the teams we are better than as proven last year done okay in the champs league and villareal champs league semi finalists last year now in this . Its only the 2nd year give it time ,intertotto was just a qualifier for uefa , summer friendly really, this aint. Its the European league Cup.

Last year was our best chance....
I don't think we would have any chance of competing in the Europa League now based on the sides still in it and those that have dropped down. We beat good teams on the way last season, just feel like that was our chance. Yes it's still raw!!!
As others have said, Fiorentina, Lazio, Villarreal will also be thinking they can win it.
There are some other top teams such as Nice, Basel, Braga.
No way is this going to be an easy route to getting to Europa League again.

Best chance of getting into Europa League next season.
If we'd had another striker and Cresswell wasn't such a liability, we would have won it in May.

I think the trophy is on par with the ECWC we did win so that's alright by me. Considering we've won bugger all else for 40 years I will take this everyday. For us to be competing as we have so far for the last two seasons has been miraculous in my eyes. Lack of a front man and squad depth and quality have still seen us progress, and I hope it carries on.

Given we havent won anything since a ONE QUARTER share of the Inter-Toto I'd be happy with the JOHNSTONES PAINT TROPHY (SOUTHERN SECTION)

It would be a brilliant trophy to win.
It not only qualifies us for Europe again next season but gives most of us the first chance to celebrate winning something as West Ham fans.
I have been quite shocked at the dismissive nature by some on here about this competition.
Roma & Feyenoord contested last years final and they are both bigger clubs with more history of winning things than us.
We have a chance but as mentioned by someone else on here there are also 3 or 4 other clubs that will fancy their chances.
Here is the full list of the teams left:
Already Through to the last 16 (We can’t get any of these in that round)
West Ham Istanbul Basaksehir Villarreal Nice AZ Alkmaar Djurgardens Sivasspor Slovan Bratislava
Into the last 32
Bodo Glimt AEK Larnaca Ludogorets Braga Sheriff Tiraspol Lazio Qarabag Trabzonspor
Fiorentina Anderlecht Lech Poznań Partizan Belgrade Dnipro 1 Gent Cluj Basel
