    The FA cup draw means either Hull or Sheffield Utd will be playing in Europe next season so we would need to finish top 6 to get there ourselves which would require finishing above 2 of the likes of Man Utd, Everton and Tottenham. I can't see two of those both messing up their remaining games even if we do somehow go on a run.

    Oh well, would have been nice but no major loss I guess.

    Aye bit of a shame but not a major loss. I would like to have had something to aim for which was realistic. 7th was unlikely but possible. 6th is just too much of a stretch.

    How they are 2-0 up with only 30% possession is beyond me... Congrats to them if they win though. Nice to see some small clubs attempting to win something....

    That goal looks just like the scorcher you lads had disallowed one rule and all that sh-t.

    To be fair there was a huge difference.................Lescott was actually interfering

    Tiote wasn't wearing the right colours.

    Man Citeh are soooooooooooooooo last week it's untrue. They served a purpose by beating the mackems and we were delighted they did but quite frankly, I couldn't give a toss if they won today or not.

    Man Citeh can f*ck off <ok>

    Couldn`t do with Pards excuses again if we got into Europa Cup again tbh and Ashley certainly wouldn`t buy the number of players we would need to compete on 2 fronts.

    Hull City boss Steve Bruce on ITV Sport: "I've just seen the draw and it's a great one. Sheffield United have had a wonderful run and beaten every team put in front of them. But you have got to be honest, you want to avoid the big boys and I'm sure Sheffield United will be thinking the same having drawn us.

    "We now all need Wigan to do us all a favour and beat Manchester City and it opens it all up. The magic of the FA Cup will never disappear for me, we'll enjoy the occasion.

    The magic of the cup indeed.

    We (City) will fail FFP, so we wouldn't qualify for Europe.

    Other posters are saying that only counts after you're playing in Europe (so effectively you get your first season either way), but I don't see how that would make sense.

    Nah you'll be alright Erik. I am pleased you stuck to them, and if you want to pass on any hints for beating them it'll be much appreicated <laugh> I hope you's go on to win it and I think you must have a decent chance. Shame you about the two strikers though.
