The key moments that will seal it for us:

At the other end of the table, a vital 1-0 win for Everton at White Hart Lane puts David Moyes’ men within touching distance of the Champions League places. With Arsenal dropping points at The Hawthorns, Tottenham stay fourth – for now.

Meanwhile, it’s a bad weekend for teams in blue and white hoops: QPR and Reading suffer Merseyside misery against Everton and Liverpool respectively.

The big midweek match is Arsenal v Everton, and Spurs fans are delighted to see them share the points – but it’s still enough to relegate Spurs to sixth in the table.

Sunderland start the weekend in the relegation zone for the first time this season – and end the weekend out of it. A goalless draw at the Stadium of Light ensures that much, frustrating visitors Everton, who reflect on an opportunity lost as top-four nemeses Arsenal and Tottenham both drop points (though Spurs are happy to draw with Manchester City).

West Ham lose at the Etihad, Newcastle surprise Liverpool with a competent, effective, Gallic performance, and Everton see off Fulham 1-0 to go fourth – and three points clear of Arsenal.

A thrilling Merseyside derby ends 2-2, helping Arsenal and Tottenham to close the gap on Everton. On Wednesday, Chelsea beat Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Tottenham have the Europa League final to look forward to but that’s all: a draw away to Stoke takes them out of the running for qualification to the Champions League (and, indeed, the Europa League unless they win the final). Everton are still favourites having beaten West Ham 2-0 – but they face a trip to Stamford Bridge.

But the real drama is for fourth. In the dying minutes Arsenal are trailing 2-1 at St James’ Park and know that with Everton losing at Chelsea, they could snatch fourth if they can just equalise. Players are thrown forward in a very un-Wenger-like manner until they win a corner in the 93rd minute. Szczesny goes up... but it’s headed clear and Newcastle run up the other end to score.

It’s all over. Everton have qualified for the Champions League; Arsenal have missed out for the first time under Arsene Wenger. Sunderland have been relegated, along with QPR and Reading.

What would it matter ??

We would go to Udinese are lose 3-0 in the qualifier.

Even if we did get into it properly. Some Ukraine team will dick us, and Atletico will bum Hibbert and Distan into next week.
 

"Disaster! Tottenham, still tired from their Europa League exploits on Thursday, see their top-four ambitions take a pounding as Wigan shock them 1-0 for the second time this season." - Wishful thinking!

So do we just not bother then if we finish fourth? Ring UEFA up and say we don't want to bother playing because we'll get beat anyway, so can we please let Arsenal have our place?
