Brilliant.

Check out the replies! The saltiest salt in salt land.

We live rent free in their heads 24/7. Those replies were expected.

Anyone else spot McGinn's forward roll during the Sweet Caroline clip...quite Marvelous

Plenty of venom in the Graun comments section on the match report. At the time of this writing, no other team in the history of the game have benefited from a poor decision apparently.

At 73 minutes I casually put on my socks and trainers and went for a walk.
I could not bear watching any longer and fully expected to have a coronary had I continued watching.
My Mrs and daughter just looked at me open mouthed as I walked out.

Back in at 17:57 to be met by both of them screaming we had done it !!

What an afternoon.

You know the scene in Shawshank when Andy Dufrene puts the record on over the tannoy then sits back and enjoys what's going on,  that's me at the moment.

Yep, that would be a lovely comparison for me too.

I’ve just got home, exhausted, drained. I have to admit, after Man U, I was resigned to relegation. I didn’t think we had a prayer of staying up and would have bet the mortgage on it.

To get 8 from 12 from that position is stunning and says a lot for everyone concerned.

We have to build now, no excuses. Convince Jack to stay by outlining 5 quality signings.

I'm genuinely surprised to see how many comments there are from bitter Leeds fans. Apparently we should have let Sheffield United walk one in just like they did for us.

Doesn’t matter....we will spank them next season!!! UTV

[LukeJames]

Im loving the comments over the Sheff Utd phantom goal, its beautiful.

Every set of fans thinks they have been fucked over more than any other by referees/VAR but fuck them, none come close to the Kevin Friend one at Palace.

Fuck the fuckers.

F365's "Season Winners & Losers" (winners section, obvs)

"Aston Villa
It took until late July for irrefutable proof to be provided, but one thing can finally be stated with conviction: Aston Villa did not do a Fulham.

The transition from things going relatively swimmingly in mid-October, to a team thrashing its legs below the surface from December to February and barely keeping its head above the water by the summer, then calmly letting the current carry them to shore, has been wonderful. A team that was doomed enough for the Sam Allardyce button to come into the equation has survived with apparent ease on the back of its final four games.

Quite how is immaterial for now. Dean Smith has just about accomplished his objectives. His reward is to diagnose a struggling but live patient instead of conducting a post-mortem on a cold corpse. Congratulations"

I couldn't get as far as watching.Our youngest daughter couldn't watch at her house.The eldest in London is made of sterner stuff and watched  and is now demolishing the gin.

Christ on a bike, I never want to go through that again...

Well done lads with a special mention for John McGinn. Immense today.

[TonyD]

Yes just......just fuckin yes.

Never in a million months of Sundays did I expect us stay up when 7 pints adrift.

Love our Villa.

And Douglas Luiz. What a player we have there.
