my try at a fair analysis.

we were so close to the promised land we could taste it and we've had our best season in my 28 years but calling a spade a spade we just aren't good enough. Spuds beat us twice this season and deserved both games. they'll finish with more points than us over 38 games and they deserve 4th and we don't... simple as (even if it hurts.)
It hurts all the more that it was Spurs and not Liverpool, with one of the big 4 having such a poor season it SHOULD have being us. man for man we should out do Spurs but we didn't. The blame doesn't lie with Hughes or Mancini, but with Hughes, Mancini and everyone else involved in the club this season, they've all combined to fail (albeit only by the narrowest of margins).
We shouldn't over react, we should take it on the chin, let the Andy Grays and twitchy cunts have their day, safe in the knowledge, they haven't stopped, only delayed the inevitable. We'll weed out the weak and strengthen again and we'll push onwards and upwards next season.
We're like a snowball rolling down a moutain and we've hit a couple more trees than we'd like to, we're not as big as we'd like to be at current time but regardless we're still gonna end up as a mighty fuckin avalanche and while people can delay us, they cannot and will not stop us. Our day will come.
