You were better than us in the marathon and. better than us in the final sprint.  Clubs nearly always finish where they deserve to be and you finished third.  You deserve your spot and I wish you well.

It will be kind of nice to have a club that you actually like playing in the top division.  Fulham are a club I always found hard to dislike and I can remember when Tommy Trinder was chairman...you lucky people!

Enjoy yourselves.

Edit.  Forgot to add, I was also fortunate to see Johnny Haynes play several times, one of the most accomplished footballers I ever saw.  I don't know how old you are but, take it from me, your dad was right, he could drop the ball on a tanner from a hundred yards away, no shit.

Apart from Fredericks' nastiness (surprised Jack got up in fact) and Fulham's continued and largely unpunished assaults on Grealish throughout the game I thought the Londoners deserved the victory, and they finished 3rd anyway so justice was done. I think they'll do better in the Premier than we would have. But how do we stop this playoff silliness. Rotherham finished 8 points behind Shrewsbury and went up. Money money money.

Keep a hold of your best players, sign the lad from Newcastle, invest wisely and you can stay in the division. Fulham is a very good club. Best wishes in the PL, you deserve to be there.

Fulham showed a side of themselves I didn't know they had.

Neil Warnock would've been proud.

Better team won though, no doubt.

All the best for next season Franky.  As much as I wish it were us, I can’t disagree with any of your assessment of the game, and as others have said the better footballing team won.

Best team won on the day Franky but I do feel the weight of the occasion weighed heavily on our players with predictions of financial Armageddon if we lost. Losing would have been tough on Fulham but I doubt you have the financial problems we now have as a result of the ridiculous FFP rules which seem to prevent a wealthy owner in investing in a business he owns. We had a poor start to the season, lost our leading goalscorer for most of the season and one of the leagues best players for the first three months however, we still finished fourth by quite a margin so I'm optimistic we will be thereabouts next year again. Good  luck for next season and do us all a favour by turning over the Dogheads who have become particularly nauseating of late. They need putting back in their place.

I'll be interested to see what happens to Fredericks if he does to the likes of Alli, Salah or De Bruyne what he did to Grealish.

I doubt any thoughts of “financial Armageddon” ever enter into the minds of footballers playing in the top two levels of the English game.

Better team throughout.  Not even sure that the early sending off  would have changed anything whatsoever.

Jedinak insists it is no exaggeration to call the match life-changing for everyone involved.

"It is in every aspect. It is a crossroads moment, sliding doors moment. It is like that. It can go one of two ways. That's what you're dealing with," said the Australian.

“Some don’t take the time to think about it and that’s up to them. I can’t speak for everybody but it motivates me. I use that on the field to make sure I’m doing everything I possibly can.”

"We haven't spoken about it but everybody knows it. Nobody is kidding themselves, people are aware of it, they know the situation."

Grealish makes 2. Appleyard, for all I think of him, looked devastated and i'd imagine is 3. And there will be others at Villa and other clubs, even if it is more to do with concern about their own futures rather than the club's, they'll know that a club being fecked financially affects them. There'll be some that couldn't give a toss, but plenty will be fully aware of a club's financial situation if relegated or not promoted.
