Well today will really hurt in the end.  Spurs and Chelsea both get one point against Wigan and Stoke, so the door was open.  Martin Atkinson shut it.

Ya Atkinson really fecked us... I'm not even worreid about catching chelski but we should have had 3 points today... Easily could ahve had a pen in the first, their second pen was absolute garbage and they should have had a player sent off.

We can blame the officials all we want, we got our fare share of Ref decisions our way this season, the only blame goes to how average our team is, we need to get rid of around 7-8 players this summer.

The whole team shut the door dude

I know, and I'm not a big fan for blaming ref's decisions on a game, but it's the easy way out right now.

cost me about 150 in an acca, so im happy to blame anything. But we never take advantage of other teams playing badly, we suck

quite the opposite.
westbrom have been on the up under woy and have been in good form of late.
with the woy history they were always gonna be up for this one and they didnt let him down.
we've played like that a few times already this season so it wasnt really a surprise we got beat.
your right though we do suck

[Scottbot]

Missed a real opportunity to aply a bit of pressure on Spurs and Chelsea, particularly with them both playing in Europe this week. I think that pretty does so far as our chances of qualifiying for Europe next season. It's not the end of the world and maybe we'll actually put together a couple of domestic cup runs for the first time since 2006 next season.

It's been a dissapointing season and i guess it had just as well end as quickly as possible in many ways but we've got new owners, we've got a manager the fanbase can unite behind, there's some money in the bank and we've brought in an absolute gem of a player in little Luez Suarez so things aren't so bad. Genuine optimism for next year.

the dilemma bugging me is our game against Arsenal. i'm having mixed emotions with that one as i do want Arsenal to win the league.
Spurs has to face Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and us.
there's a high chance we could beat them to 5th spot even though they have a game in hand.
i doubt Chelsea will not qualify for the ECL as they have a fairly easy run with only 2 tough games in the shape of Man Utd and Spurs.
and i hope they beat them both!
Man City are gonna take 3rd place i'm pretty sure.

i can't wait for the season to be over. yet another season where we have to depend on other team's failures to gain success. and most of the time, we fail to capitalize on it. it's clear we don't have a champions mentality. we don't have the swagger, determination and the grit. not yet though. with new arrivals, we'll be a huge force next season. the players ought to adapt the mentality of someone like Bellamy, Suarez or Mash. they have this never say die attitude which is a joy to watch.

[Greavesie]

game over as far as Europe is concerned but I wasn't too fussed about the wafer cup anyway, maybe best to have some domestic concentration for a season without loads of midweek games. Should give the lads a much needed kick up the @rse to chase for fourth next season. We haven't got the squad at the moment to compete on all the fronts anyway so a break from europe isn't a bad thing

[Redman in wales]

As strange as it sounds, that's a bad set of fixtures for us actually. We've beaten Utd and Chelsea but lost to West Brom and Wigan.

[Dundalk]

If City finish 4th or above, Stoke or Bolton get Europa. If City finish 5th and win FA Cup - 6th place gets Europa.

[Zidane]

Well City will more than likely win the FA Cup but I don't see Spurs beating them out for 4th.. it really is a toss up at this point though.  I would love us to be back in Europe but at the same time the Europa League adds so many matches, we'd be a stronger team so maybe we could cope with all the games and its a good way to get young players some playing time.. That said I'm not really too bothered with it to be honest but it is another possibility for a trophy which is what we really need so in the end I want us to get in there regardless of how we get in.

[Thommo's perm]

Part of me hopes we dont qualify for the europa.
But saying that, the teams in it are sh'ite and we would easily win it next year

[jacdaniel]

We probably will qualify for Europa one way or another.  Lets hope Arsenal beat Spurs next and then we still have to play them as well.  Maybe we can still finish 5th?  If not, City will probably win the FA Cup and finish in the top 4 meaning we'll qualify for Europa.

All we can do now is keep winning games and pray the bitters dont pass us.  that would be a nightmare!

[Kenny Kan]

Not the Europa, it's dire now.

[stmichael]

Europe's in for a treat next season. Birmingham and Stoke.
