It was confirmed yesterday that City had finished ahead of Boro in fifth place. So with the top four teams already qualifying through the league it would be City's name that went forward for the place in the UEFA Cup.
Providing that England finish top of the international Fair Play League city's place will be automatic, otherwise they will be entered into a draw for two further places.
Boro's position was not helped by Franck Quedrue's sending off at Bolton on the final day of the season, however it would appear that the main problem was a certain referee. Waterlooville's Rob Styles managed to send off three (including Queudrue twice) and book seven in just three games in charge.
