I always like Zola.....

Chelsea ace Gianfranco Zola has conceded that The Blues have lost their race with United for the final Champions League place. The weekend results saw Leeds mathematically drop out of the running, and while it is still feasible that Claudio Ranieri's men could leapfrog The Magpies, Zola admits there is next to no chance of that happening. "I think its very much in Newcastle's hands, and I think the way they have played this season they deserve to go through," he said. Chelsea's only chance of snatching fourth spot would be if United lost their last three games and the Londoners win both of their remaining two. But Zola admitted the Stamford Bridge club are no longer contemplating that as a possibility, and are instead focusing on next month's FA Cup final. He added: "Hopefully we are going to do well in the FA Cup final, that is now a big target for us."

Seems he has a little bit more class about him than Chelsea fans do.
