No, it doesnt work like that. The place goes to the league positions.

bolloxs, we deserve it

If i am not mistaken, if Man City beat Forest we are

We can only qualify by winning Fa cup. Unless we finish much higher in the league

Bum, Bum, Bum

Wonderful team performance. Against a top side. OG a bit of a genius. Picked kamada ahead of Lerma and Hughes. And it worked. Against all expectations. Final will be a great day. Really hope it’s city. Europa league a real prospect. Hope OG IS SUPPORTED IN SUMMER AND GIVEN BUMPER new contract. Can’t wait to see who he buys to replace guehi and Eze. What a great day COYP!

Didn’t it used to be the Cup Winners Cup that was a lower trophy therefore losing finalists got into this if the winners qualified for the European Cup? Mind you they change the rules every year so their favourites get in.

Well you’ve had nothing to moan about have you. Been on this site for 3 months. So so negative towards the team.

No. That accusation is utter tosh, and I'll ask you to back it up or rescind it. I happen to think that Kamada isn't deserving of his place, and Mitchell and Lerma's passing is often poor, but aside that you're going to struggle to find negatives and you'll find that I rate a number of our players highly.

Get it right.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

And to top it all we didn't have to spend 97 minutes hearing how brilliant Rashford is.

 

[glazedallover]

What for? Kamada did do some twinkletoes sure, he played well generally but had a few late tackles. What's the problem with being honest about a player?

Had a few late tackles eh ? We should have replaced him with Hughes then. That would solve it..

Jeez! What a fabulous game of football. It's not very often our team puts in a classy display, but that sure was one heck of a classy effort. Even the BBC commentary and pundit team were showering us with praise.

The whole team were so together. Little things like Eze consoling Mateta after his penalty miss and Mateta, I think it was, who put his arm round Mitchell after he missed a sitter. That team definitely play for each other and it's a joy to watch.

What a team!
What a manager!
What a result!

Up the Palace!

All true. Also JPM geeing the crowd up. Lovely stuff.

our achievements over Villa have been stunning. They are a top top side. In the last 5 matches we gave them a draw and 4 palace victories.

Yes I think you’re right. But I just googled it and said the Europe league place would go to the next highest league place outside Europe places.Still we won’t need to worry about that. Cos we’re going to win the cup. Cumon

 

[Wilesy01]

I’m sat in a state of shock on the tube.

That’s about as good a performance I’ve ever seen from Palace. We really could have won by 6 and it wouldn’t have flattered us.

Villa fans being good sports in defeat. All mentioning how vocal our support was.

 

[Eagle-Trucker]

Just back at the Wembley Travelodge , What a day . Got no voice . The atmosphere was amazing ( well the Palace end was ) The match was a bit one sided 😏, even The ref had a good game . Very hard to pick out one man for MOTM they were all gladiators today , none more so than Hendo . Need a lie down for a bit . Heading back to Cork in the morning . Just booked my flights from Shannon for the Final . I love Palace .

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

I thought the ref was going to screw us again when he disallowed that perfectly good Mateta goal.
Then the penalty miss.

In the end, Villa just couldn't handle our forwards when we hit them on the break.

 

[Stirlingsays]

Fecking fantasic day.

 

[Palace Old Geezer]

Yep, also good to see Roy and Coppell at the game. Were there others? Just feels like a close knit family unit.

Surprising inclusion for sure. But he was comfortable in tight spaces and didn’t lose possession like his early days. Let’s just doff our cap to OG for this one.

I was looking out for Izzard and Brand.

Well Brighty was with Steve Parish. Great to see those loyal faces back!
