been having little think ( dont worry i sat down) it may seem strange but i think i would miss fighting for promotion or the playoffs in the championship, and although sometimes sickening, heart attack inducing, abut allways hugely exciting, the almost guarenteed relegtion battle. if this was to be a new era in out clubs history would anyone else secretly miss our yoyo antics. i think i mite. Interesting debate, a lot of if's to consider... Personally, I fully expect Palace to stay up from here with relative comfort and if Pulis stays I would expect a mid table finish next season. The man is a class act and knows what he is doing. If this did happen I personally would find it a great shame and would probably stop going to Palace after 15 years. Mid table Premiership football is something I have feared for many a year and fear it could be the case with us soon. Who wants to be stuck in mid table each season with nothing to play for for the last 3 months of the season? (i.e Southampton and Newcastle this season). Only a season in the Europa League would change this for me, but I don't think it's realistic. I prefer the old grounds with character, cheaper ticket prices and being able to buy a ticket for any game without worrying about having enough membership points. The atmosphere has changed this season for the worst, there is a new breed of Palace fan who moan when we're losing. Was much better last season when we roared the team to win from behind against Cardiff, Burnley, Charlton etc. The quality of football will no doubt be better to watch, but what substitute is that for all the bad that comes with it? I guess that's a matter of opinion.
But where's the excitement in pushing for 8? I'd rather be in a relegation battle. What has The Premier League become if teams celebrate winning the 'mini league' and finishing 8th?
Am I correct that finishing 8th is only one place away from the Europa League if the FA Cup finalists and League Cup winners finish top six? So you still may have had an exciting season following Palace.
The pyramid to beat all pyramids!! Find out what team is in which division, eg which division is Coppull United in? |

After winning the playoffs, although delighted I did feel slightly empty at the fact we'd be playing in the Prem this season. However, now we're there it's definitely the place you want your team to be. On the subject of mid table, I remember seasons of being a mid table Championship team, which to a club of our size feels like failure. Finishing mid table in the Prem however, would obviously be a massive achievement.

So finishing mid table and ..still bringing through the likes of.... ....yes please and we will have a far greater chance of keeping them! ...and pushing on instead of starting all over again ...and who knows how Mr John Bostock could of turned out if he had his head screwed on by the likes of Pulis.
.......has our coach driver done a Poo'yet, without thinking about Gus! |

Don't worry, we aren't a mid table club. There will be drama, we will either be fighting for our lives, or soaring to great heights. It's what we do. It's in our DNA.

I agree that one decent season doesn't guarantee survival but look at Southampton and how they've fared under a good manager and a squad partly sourced from their own excellent youth programme (...and a bit of ours!!!). If we survive this first season back in the PL then I'm sure we'll go on to bigger and better things.

Edited by Sansbup (09 Apr 2014 8.14am) Nope, I think the mists of time are playing tricks on Kermit. Firstly to say that Doris was any good....Well, he didn't get the name Doris for nothing and to say that Jolly was OK
