So as a new fan of CPFC, I've done a lot of reading up on the club. And from what I've read on here more then once, this seems to be the dawn of a new era at Palace, with one of their better teams in awhile, if ever. So I'm confused as to why they get so little respect from the media.

A couple of weeks ago I was watching "Men in Blazers" on NBCSN after the Liverpool Friday night game, and in their preview of that weekends upcoming games, they basically blew off the CP/MFC game, they pretended to be sleeping and didn't pick a winner. Then the last couple of Fridays, I have been listening to a EPL preview show on Sirius FC. Again when these guys got around to the CP/Stoke game, they didn't give a score, and someone again referenced sleeping. Then last Friday before the Sunderland game, same show, while a couple of guys did pick Palace, the host of the show talked about how bad Sunderland is for about three minutes, but then went on to pick them to win.

And yesterday on SFC, another show was discussing the troubles West Ham are having, and their guest (sorry, don't recall who it was), said that the Hammers have time to turn it around, especially with their next three games being against soft teams. One of those teams, of course, is Palace.

My question is....is this commonplace? Do these guys just assume, "Oh, it's Palace, they'll lose, and if they win, nobody cares?" As for West Ham, F them. The way the teams are playing now they are the soft team for Palace to play, not the other way around. Again, have they been watching lately? WHU has been awful and they'll be coming into Selhurst. They should be the team considered beatable, not CPFC.

I hear very little Palace talk on these shows, and most of it is negative or joking around. It's very annoying, not to mention frustrating.

And expect to have to watch Palace last on MOTD unless they are playing Man City or ManUre.

Oh yes. Set your timer for the last 5 minutes of match of the day as that's where you will find us.

When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

We're probably better off not getting any respect, otherwise you end up with Palace fans saying that we're already safe.

Deal with it with humour, just like the funniest man to ever walk the Earth.

Second that! The more most of the big-time pundit Charlies ignore us and whatever rubbish Alan Shearer, Mark Lawrenson & Co utter about Crystal Palace, the prouder I am to be an Eagle. As The Crystals sing in one of their videos: "I don't care, I love it".

You could say "Nobody likes us and we don't care!", but, unfortunately, our beloved South London neighbours got there first with that one.

Personally, I don't care that much apart from having to stay up until 11:30 on a Saturday night ( yes late for me) to see Palace highlights ( all 5 minutes of them).
