Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has admitted that he feels "as sick as a seaside donkey" following his side's playoff semi-final defeat to Norwich City.
The Tractor Boys face another season in the Championship after falling to a 4-2 aggregate loss to their bitter rivals on Saturday.
"Listen, I've seen Middlesbrough cock-a-hoop on the pitch [on Friday] and the same with Norwich today. Well one of them is going to be as sick as a seaside donkey, just like I feel now. It makes no odds, they've got to win it," McCarthy told Setanta Sports.
"Even if we'd have won today and lost at Wembley I'd have still felt sick.
"Good luck to the two of them. One of them is going to be coming back and seeing my kipper again next season though."
Norwich will play Middlesbrough at Wembley for a place in the Premier League a week on Monday.
