Whoever Mr. (or Mrs!) S. Barlow is, he (or she) is a credit to this football club.

The disappointment of last season gave the whole club the resolve to gain promotion this year. The fact that automatic promotion was achieved with three games remaining means the season can be seen as nothing but a success. Missing out on the title when so well placed did leave a sour taste, but overall we did excellently.

We will obviously be prime candidates for relegation in the eyes of many, but with a couple of decent signings and Chris Hughton still in the dugout we’ll surprise a few. Fans are already looking forward to next season and are excited to see how we get on against some of the best teams in the world. And Crystal Palace. S Barlow

I find it rather sad? humorous? Not sure what, that we actually managed to get promoted and were gutted by it. We should have taken three points from the final three games, but hey, it happens and we have gone up.

I was gutted for half an hour, it was like winning the lottery and having the cheque presented by Mrs Brown as opposed to Mrs Haraguchi.

I was never "gutted" not to be champs, that would have been a bonus, I was never bothered about it - though to be fair, with games to go, we probably should have done it.

That's hardly an article, is it. Collect up some online comments and publish.... cheap I guess.
