Worth noting that away goals is not a tiebreaker in the promotion playoffs.

 

And that's a result!  

Now to take it home and wrap up the first round.  WELL DONE VILLA!

Fulham beat Derby 2-0 to advance to the Playoff Final.

Nice, pulling for Fulham to be back in the top flight. Should I assume the playoff final will also be on crappy ESPN+?

The deal was smart for ESPN, it gives them a property that helps them try to  expand their ESPN+ footprint. But the deal was so bad for the EFL. Yes they get money, but so few people are seeing the their product, it's probably falling in value.

Middlesbrough has a little over 30 minutes left to tie it up.

0-0 58th minute  (Villa 1-0 agg)

Villa is putting the pressure on. If not for Randolph the Middlebrough keeper, Villa might have scored a goal to put this one away.

Villa!  

One more match boys... Come on you Lions!

Up The Villa!

ESPN+ 7 day trial acquired?  Check.

Villa game-day t-shirt in the wash?  Check.

Ready to retake our rightful place in the Premiership?  Check.

 

Me and my boy, pitch-side pre-match at Villa Park near the end of the 2016 season.

anyone with a free stream please post

i'm not screwing with espn trials

i will never give them personal financial data

Villa are the second-best squad on the pitch in the first half... Steve Bruce has his half time work cut out for him.

The Fulham owner looks like he should be cackling evilly while a farmer's daughter is tied to the railroad tracks.

Villa reportedly put a lot of money into trying to gain promotion this season. Sounds like they may need to sell a lot to balance the books.

Kicking RamJet in the head while he's down....

Fuck John Terry. Fulham would’ve had to sell off Sessagnon and Fredericks next season so the stakes were equally high. Now they have a chance to keep one or both.

Well done Fulham.  Our (QPR's) West London rivals, but I always like to see more London teams in the PL (more games to choose from when I go over).

 

And fuck off John Terry.

Nah, it’s like if the NFL had half the teams in LA/NYC.

Craven Cottage is only 1.7 miles to Stamford Bridge, but it is 2.9 miles to Loftus Road Stadium.

PLUS, both Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge are actually in Fulham, whereas QPR is in Shepherd's Bush. Wouldn't that make Chelsea FC Fulham's West London rival?

Doesn’t Sessegnon have a brother at the club too?  Might make him stay.  Think Grealish will go.  Can’t believe Hutton is still playing.  Craven Cottage is a great ground to go to so glad they are up.  Villa park isn’t so bad either so would’ve swapped Villa for Cardiff.

All three are West London rivals to each other (and you could even throw in Brentford).

 

As far as QPR fans are concerned Chelsea is the main rival (as in most hated; not in the competitive sense) followed by Fulham.  But given QPR's lower profile Chelsea fans would dismiss QPR as irrelevant anyway and yes Fulham would consider Chelsea their main rivals.

And Chelsea’s main rival in footballing terms would be Spurs with West Ham and Millwall their main rivals on non footballing terms.

They must retain Sessagnon at all costs.  Get up.  Check.  Stay up.  Spend or perish.

I’d be pretty surprised if Sessegnon leaves now.

While I was in Argentina, for a while my flatmate was from London and though he supported Newcastle, his younger brother was a Chelsea fan. This was during some of the FulhAmerica time, so I remember looking at the walk from Craven Cottage to Stamford Bridge on Google Maps. That's the only reason I was so familiar with the distance before even looking it up. Even my flatmate didn't realize that Stamford Bridge was technically in Fulham, because it's on the west side of the railroad tracks.

(Though I never knew that Liverpool's and Everton's stadiums are on opposite sides of a park until I watched the Jamie Carragher "Premier League Legends" episode and there's a flyover during the intro. Only Racing & Independiente, both in the Buenos Aires suburb of Avellaneda, are closer to my knowledge. They are separated by a practice field.)

I was going to say that QPR and Fulham probably have more of a storied rivalry due to similar finances for most of their history, but I looked it up and was I wrong.

Club <- WINS - DRAWS - WINS -> Club 

Chelsea <- 46 - 26 - 11 -> Fulham - - 83 TOTAL MATCHES
Chelsea <- 22 - 18 - 15 -> QPR- - - - - 55 TOTAL MATCHES
Fulham <- 16 - 7 - 14 -> QPR - - - - - 37 TOTAL MATCHES
