We actually did it!
Crystal Palace FC will now officially be in the Premier League for another season.
The 4-0 routing of Hull City last Sunday morning confirmed that we will stay up and Hull be relegated to the division below. Games in this lower division are not televised here in the US which I hate to say would cause turmoil among the ranks of the Austin Eagles. We no longer need to fear this fate, now able to sit back and revel in our elevated status. This will be the fifth season in a row that we have stayed in the top flight, a feat we have not achieved in our extensive 112 year history.
Feel free to enjoy the highlights of the game below.

I want to thank you all for your support over the last two and a half years since the Austin Eagles formation. The team couldn't have done it without you. It's true. I heard them say it.
I am sure all of you, including my loving and enduring wife Heather, will join me in looking forward to watching 38 more games next season clutching a pint of Guinness at Fado and shirking all family and work duties.
We have one more game to go this Sunday at 9am. It is the final game of the season and you'll never guess who we play. Yep. Those Manchester United scumbags once again. This time last year we had to watch them beat us in the FA Cup final. This year we shall be victorious. As we have nothing on the line to play for we can all just sit back and enjoy.
