That would be great. We would see top-table teams come to Selhurst and we might even beat some of them. Supporting Palace is an emotional roller-coaster and I could do with some relaxing times for a season or two. But we would still get big buzzes from the big matches. The right place at the right time

looks like we we may beat the drop and have out first consecutive season in the premier league ever, and it feels good! and i honestly believe its our time to establish ourselves in the league.

I would be perfectly content if Pulis replicated his Premier League record at Stoke at our beloved club.

Virtually every mid table established team flirts with the possibility of chasing a European place or fighting relegation. I would rather do this and the club make shed loads of cash to secure our future than selling our best players for peanuts to pay wages.

Having some time as an established premier club is only going to help secure our long term future. Steve Parish et al seem to be ambitious. Look what Swansea and Wigan did cup wise? Hull or Wigan may do it again this year! Didn't Stoke get into the europa league recently under Pulis? European football at Selhurst Park! (We need to stay up first :P )

While I will miss the highs and lows of the Championship and all the excitement that brings I would very much like my club to be the best it can be. To reach its potential and finally get to where we all believe we can get to. The problem with that is it takes time to establish yourself at the next level and a few seasons of mid table boredom is bound to be necessary before we can think about a domestic cup, a place in the Europa league or a regular top half finish. Right now though even mid table is a pipe dream. We are nearly safe but not yet. Next year could be the same relegation battle or worse 'second season syndrome'.
