The super soaraway Sun's headline was shocking. Reading all the reviews of the game I think I was at another game as all I saw was (after 5 years of misery) fans celebrating. A return to the dark ages it was not.

Maybe Dave, but would be better if no one subscribed to it , especially villa fans .Let the chavski and manure waste their money on its rubbish.
Pitch invasions are bad. The Fiver knows pitch invasions are bad because it spent all day yesterday and much of today listening to various people pontificating in newspapers, on TV and on the radio getting their smalls in a righteously indignant twist over two separate pitch invasions at Villa Park on Saturday evening, when some happy booze-fuelled numpties stormed the pitch to celebrate a goal and then victory for their team against local rivals West Brom. Happy football fans? We can’t be having that.Rather than being a return to the bad old days of the 1970s and 1980s, as some more hysterical commentators have suggested, your glass half-full Fiver prefers to think of it as more of a reminder of the 1960s, a decade in which a similar pitch invasion perpetrated by similarly happy football fans at Wembley outraged public sensibilities to such an extent that it is to this day celebrated through its immortalisation in one of the most celebrated snippets of sports commentary ever heard. Happy football fans? Let’s put it on a 49-year loop.OK, so pitch invasions aren’t ideal or indeed particularly rare (has a play-off semi-final second leg ever actually ended without one?), but compared to fans being hit by seats torn from the Villa Park away end or corner-takers being pelted by missiles flung by spectators, they’re little more than a minor inconvenience that can be fairly easily avoided.
The Guardian again, the gist and tone of which could virtually have been lifted from these very pages.:QuotePitch invasions are bad.

I agree with the Chelsea fan. Going onto the pitch during the game is kind of berky, because we're trying to watch, damn it, but after the game? I'm sure the groundsman can cope, and it was all in a good spirit.

Mr Oizo was at number one with his annoying, bass-heavy 'Flat Beat', the minimum wage was introduced at £3.60 an hour for workers over 21, and these sides served up one of the great FA Cup games - perhaps one of the best games I've ever seen - in the semi-final replay at Villa Park.Younger readers may not have ever seen the classic - so fill your boots here! It was a brilliant, brilliant match.
