West Ham United captain Mark Noble has hailed his side's performances this season despite their final-day defeat to Stoke City potentially seeing them miss out on European qualification.
The Hammers squandered a lead at the Britannia Stadium to fall to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Potters, a result that saw them drop down to seventh in the Premier League table.
They must now hope that Manchester United beat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final if they are to qualify for the Europa League ahead of their maiden campaign at the Olympic Stadium next term.
"We have to take this result in context and that is we've had a great season. We have come on a long way," Noble told the club's official website.
"I've always said this season was probably the most important in the club's history. Moving stadiums we had to make sure we were a solid Premier League team and we did that midway through the season.
"We had a small chance at Champions League which was great, and now we just have to wait and see what happens in the cup final."
Noble, meanwhile, was left out of Roy Hodgson's provisional 26-man squad for Euro 2016 earlier today.
