Manchester City qualified for Europe in the Fair Play League, with Fulham only 3 points behind.
The next placed team who weren’t already going to Europe were West Ham, which might draw a wry smile to one or two passing readers…
(oh, and not only did the Tories win in Crewe and Nantwich, they hammered us, but more on that later on)

So… having players like Bellamy and Dyer and Bowyer not playing very often due to injury or other reasons may have prevented us from qualifying by virtue of winning points but it almost got us into Europe by not picking up many cards..
Its a plausible theory.
