Promoted Aston Villa post match thread

Massive credit to the lads for the 15mins of shithousery, free-kick winning, time-wasting and ‘professional’ closing out of the game after Derby scored. Very grown up. Weren’t dazed by the Derby pressure.

Alan Shearer c 2002 at our place would have been proud.

When passing the Sty on the train into Moor Street station, a beautiful rainbow overhead was putting Bl*es in their place. Disappointed the Wembley arch didn't light up claret and blue, though, after the game

I can see the Wembley arch from my kitchen.  It is definitely claret and blue tonight

Don’t know where to start, not ashamed to say at the full time whistle it all came out. Relief/Last few years of pure shit - just got totally overwhelmed with it all. We’re fucking back

[rob_bridge]

Best day at Wembley ever.

Nah. Stuffing Newton Heath 3-1  in '94  was the best day at wembley ever!

Yeah that was a pretty fucking god team we outsmarted that day

[Villaininexile]

Is it just me, or was Elmo something else today ? Also, love how players like Hause and Jedinak have played crucial bit parts in the play offs. SAYS something 're a team ethos.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Well done everyone. Brilliant.

[AsTallAsLions]

Wrecked emotionally and physically after today but so, so proud and so happy to be back.

Lovely

Wonderful - love it.

Just found this on the Derby County Forum - most saying good things about us. Fair play to them. They have sussed out the Small Heath degenerates for who they really are.

Not long home after a simply incredible day.  After all the shit of recent years, days like today remind you it's all worth while, even during the dark times.  Some very special people follow this club, and I am humbled and happy to be amongst you.  Up the Villa!

The togetherness was incredible UTV

I agree with everyone hoping we never play SHA again.

With the enormity of the occasion today, since 5pm my mind has only really been able to process the small things in life. Apt, therefore, that my main feeling has been one of relief that we won't have to play those utter scumbags or West Bromwich next season.

Wolves are an irrelevance as I've only ever met a handful of their fans and they've all been 'village idiot of the year' contenders. But the 'shit on the Villa' alliance are just a constant hair in the eye - not worrying or upsetting, but just irritating and uncomfortable enough to stop you enjoying your day - so I'm glad to be leaving them behind.

But today isn't about our insecure neighbours. It's about Dean, Jack, SJM, the rest of the squad and the tens of thousands of fans who did us proud today. Back where we belong. UTV!

Well done you Villa boys on getting the job done .It is days like today that make it all so worth while .All the expense and travel from living in the shadow of Anfield to Villa every home game is worth it .Also i hope that thug Paul Mitchell enjoyed seeing Jack lift the play off trophy

Met a few today and only one pissed woman on the train was a problem.
After the game they pretty much said what we were saying after last year, one team played to win and the other did not until it was too late.
Decent folk Derby fans.

No, not just you, I thought he had a really good game, although Green gave him no help when he came on.
After the disappointments at Wembley in recent years, the last 10 minutes were nerve shredding, but until they scored we'd looked really composed.

Great day, family meet up at Harrow on the Hill, great view today and great result which is all that mattered in the end.
