    So with man city now qualified for next seasons C/L, stoke will now play in the europa league next season, no matter what happens in the FAcup final.

    Goes to show, what can happen when you take the cups seriously, and i'm sure with their brand of football, they are going to upset a few teams on their travels.

    Like them or hate them, they took it seriously and now reap the rewards...

    Well done to them, they come in for flack but what they do effective. Feel happy for Kenwyne too, he was hounded out of a club he didn't want to leave and an area if his family were settled and his kids were settled in school. I hope all the ex sunderland lads pick u a winners.medal this weekend.

    Don't know what the record is, but I've seen a couple of 10 minutes plus this season, both as the result of bad injuries.

    Three years to establish themselves in today's Premiership and get into Europe is a commendable achievement. It might have only taken one or two years in the old First Division but it shows there's still some 'social mobility' in Premiership football.

    woops sorry mate, i thought it said stoke had a CL place <laugh>

    The thing that gets me is that we took the cups seriously, that team we put out against Notts County didnt want to play and the team against West Ham were capable of beating a team who hadnt won on the road for a year till that point in the league
