After two wins on the trot, it's no exaggeration to say that Palace are now a resurgent force. Touch wood, we should win the Premier League this year. The FA Cup is ours to lose, and the League Cup... well, I don't think it's a priority any more. But.... let's not get complacent. We must not get ahead of ourselves. The worst thing we can do now is lose our heads. Keep it real, people. I think, when the time comes, we may need to let Steve Parish go. He's worked wonders for Palace, but is he a Champions League chairman? Oh yeah? Are you sure about that mate? Nice bloke and all that, but we have to make hard decisions. There's a Russian oligarch, Nokko Ponentsov, who has somehow got backs of money. I'm convinced he 's a Palace man and he cares about the fans. Or if he doesn't match up, there's another oligarch - a rising star of African politics who is anxious to come to London. His name is Dr Ubungme M'Bezzla. I think Mdananda, Benteke and Parish are all good lads, don't get me wrong, but there's no room for sentiment in this game.

I know what you mean Kent675 Palace fans have to realise that we are no longer just a local team for local people. CPF is a global brand that has to be open for business twenty four seven. Frankly, we should have slaughtered a very poor Stoke team yesterday. Barcelona would have put 8 past them at least. And that's the type of team we should be benchmarking ourselves against. The fans want more and the customer is always right.

My wee ma won at bingo the other night. She said she was going to throw her hat in the ring. Interesting times ahead.

What a throughly enjoyable post. I tead it whilst dodging flocks of flying pugs whilst I rode my unicorn to la la land.

I just googled both these names and they are not real. I think you're pulling a fast one here.

The club needs visionaries like you. I will have you on my board, once the millions start rolling in from that Nigerian Prince whose fortune I'm helping him to transfer, using my bank account. Hell of a nice guy. I'd have him on the board too, but he seems to have gone quiet on me recently. Hur hur, I hope he hasn't disappeared with my money

Two wins are good but we shouldn't get carried away. I think this season top 6 is achievable so next year maybe a good cup run. Also think we should be winning FA cup this season. Maybe 2/3 years time we can challenge for champions league but not quite as good as Barcelona yet although think we'd give them a good game.

Only on this site could you read this reply and wonder if it's serious

Once my time machine is working (the man in the pub assured me it had one lady owner and just needs a new alternator) I intend to take Palace back to the 1970s and show Pele and Jairzinho a thing or two. Come on you Palace. Dare to dream! Edited by OhthisbloodyPC (19 Sep 2016 9.21am)

For the last 25 years I have been a fair weather supporter. I've not sat and watched the club on a Tuesday while they are losing to Accrington Stanley in the Mickey Mouse Trophy or purchased the replica shirt every year. In fact I think I got about 8 years (as puberty stalled a bit) out of the 2002-2003 replica shirt. My dad used to take me to one game a season, and I think we even stopped going for a couple of years after a defeat against Birmingham City where it rained on us a bit in the lower Holmesdale. In recent years I have started going as many times as three games a season (one season I even went four times!!!!!!) and generally only go when we've been on a bit of a winning streak. I mainly target the big games like our last home game against Brighton and the playoff finals and FA Cup Final. I've managed to go largely because of the kindness of other Palace fans and the occasional adhoc purchases of silver memberships. I didn't buy a membership this year because I had a lot of expense buying my first house and getting married and whilst I could afford the membership, I wasn't sure I'd be able to afford to go to many games. I'm not going to jump the gun, but if Palace get into the Champions League next season I might consider a silver membership. That's assuming none of you will lend me your season ticket client refs. Don't want to push it, but if any of you have property in Italy, Spain, France or Germany could I also stay in your gaff when Palace play there too? Saves me paying for a hotel room. Cheers then everyone, Love, Palace's most loyal fan.

Edited by OhthisbloodyPC (19 Sep 2016 9.21am) Anyone with a half knowledge of time travel knows that a time machine requires a flux capacitor to propel the machine & passengers forwards or backwards through the time/space continuum. An alternator will be utterly superfluous to this process.
