Yeah, credit where credit is due Spurs played very well, King was amazing and at the end of the day they deserve fourth.

There is no point in feeling sorry for ourselves, we've got a decent team who put up a good fight last night, Johnson was amazing, there wasn't really a bad player on our team last night.

We've a great manager in Mancini, great owners, the resources to build a stronger team, a great stadium and great fans and all is not lost, Europa League isn't terrible, considering our last big history making match was when we were playing for promotion fifth spot.

Europa League next season and a squad of players we could only dream of having five or six years ago isn't too shabby!

When you put things in perspective last night wasn't really a failure at all!
