Great job lads.
Wow that transfer speculation thread could be busy this summer .
I just wonder what budget Dean has been given ?
I wonder how many of today’s match day squad will be in the first prem run out ?

It’s important to do it right. Get the likes of Mings and El Ghazi in permanently, and spend the money we have on real quality. Don’t want to do a Fulham and spend lots of money, alienating the players in the core of the squad.

Oh and a brilliant touch to have James Chester there with Jack to lift the trophy.

Jesus ch....that last 15 minutes! Just when you think we're going to have our first routine Wembley final win since 1996 they go and give us a bit more torture one last time at this level.

Wouldn't have it any other way even if football matches chip away at your life expectancy.

Thought we deserved it anyway against a tricky team who kept going at 2 down. They deserve the goal although extra time would've been a robbery.

Important after the last decade we just soak this up for the next week. Arguing who should be our left back next season can wait for the start of June.

Fuck me with the rough end of a ranmans trumpet but we made hard work of that. Nevermind. COME ON YOU VILLA BOYS!!!

I’m sure the reality will sink in, but all I’m feeling is an enormous sense of relief. TM was magnificent; and we deserved to win the game. Fuck the haters & thank you Dean Smith for pulling promotion out of the hat. Remarkable stuff & a humongous UTV! 😎

[Clark W Griswold]

Brilliant, never in doubt we'd go up this season was it?

😁

Despite Mings and McGinn giving their usual quality performances, MOTM for me today...... Connor Hourahane. If he plays like that every week he'll be good enough for next season as well. Special mention to El Ghazi too, not usually a big fan but played well today and had the biggest impact in the final third.

[Flamingo Lane]

It was great to see Whelan and Jedinak so obviously chuffed with what's been achieved.  Jedinak's penalty against the Albion was one of the season's highlights, for me.

[CT Villan]

There is definitely work to be done, but today I am going to bask in the warm glow of victory and not dull the promotion high that is coursing through my veins.

We just watched this again and there wasn't a dry eye in the house...

[Richard E]

What a time to be alive. Get in!!!!

I’ve got a fantastic gash on my shin from arguing with the seat in front of me after El Ghazi scores but who cares.
