So I have a been a Palace fan since 1969. We all know our history with its Highs and its lows. After 11 seasons in the prem what do you consider to be good season ?

For me its staying in the prem and cup run. As staying in the prem for our Club, with a ground size as small as it, is we are fighting above our weight.

But what about you, what's par for you?

14th, no cup run and a better team at the end of season,not the current threadbare side.

More goals scored than conceded, so, a positive goal difference.

To stay up

To flirt with a hop half finish every couple of years

To have a decent cup run every couple of years

To be a team that embraces street ballers (Wilf, Bolasie, Eze etc)

A team that gives a chance to the kids

The day were owned by foreign billionaires, have foreigners turning up to our ground with selfie sticks where regular fans can’t get a ticket and spend billions on players to sometimes go backwards will be a very, very sad one for me.

I’m quite happy being owned by a fan, even with our stadium as is, staying in the prem and occasionally sticking two fingers up at the corporate clubs at the top of the now money dictated pile.

As others mentioned, having ‘ballers’ in the team, cautiously investing in youth and not completely selling out to foreign ‘investors’ (though we may have to continually flirt for funding) is fine by me. Give back to the community and give us something to cheer and dream about occasionally.

All very demanding but that’s still the dream for me. Been living it for a while now though that doesn’t prohibit me from a moan when appropriate

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

The paucity of the ambition in the above posts ( not a criticism) is why the Premier League model will not ultimately be sustainable.
The greed is good nature of the set up will lead to a breakaway super league / greater split of tv revenues to the bigger clubs / ongoing hoovering up of talent from ‘lesser clubs.’
The wealthy owners have only just begun in their Machiavellian manoeuvres.
The essence of sport is competition and once you take that away what are you left with ?
The domination by Real Madrid and Barcelona has killed the game in Spain and it’s not that much better in Germany.
Total dominance is not necessarily attractive to fans of the dominant clubs either.
They’re not happy with a 1-0 v e.g Luton, demanding a 5-0.
