don't understand this "need for a reality check" and "complacency among elements of our support"...

Where are all of these complacent deluded Palace fans?

I see a united club from owners to manager to supporters who have their feet on the ground.

Its a bit like those who always want to have a pop at the anti-Pulis brigade - where exactly are the Anti-Pulis brigade?

It will be a travesty if Pulis doesn't get Manager of the Year, whoever wins the league his achievement is so clearly the most outstanding managerial achievement, far better than Brendan Rogers.

A bit of a jaded vibe about the place today, really. The players must be mentally f*cked after the last few weeks (and who can blame them) and to come out second best against possibly the best team we've seen at Selhurst all season is certainly no disgrace. In spite of all that, they didn't give us a dicking and City had to work hard throughout. I can see no negatives.

In some ways, I don't really mind losing today: as someone has said, it was a bit of a reality check in the face of a certain level of complacency amongst elements of our support. This is a f*cking tough division and we really have punched above our weight this season. Next season is going to be just as tough and we should accept that we probably wont improve on this season's final position.

Still, what a totally f*cking awesome season it's been. A proper vintage to stay in the memory. Safety with three games to spare seems almost surreal and, personally, I wish it was over now so we can start preparing for the next thrilling instalment.

The love and pride I feel for this club can't be expressed in mere words..
