It's a shame and right now it hurts. It will hurt less tonight when I watch MoTD2 and start to think of our being on it next season. By the time the fixtures come out I won't even give today a second thought.
We are Premier League.
EDIT: It will also feel lovely when the playoff battle...
I'm at Heathrow at work (perfectly times lunch break). Hope you have reason to smile when you get to your destination, though you might not be popular.
