I for one over the last few weeks have got myself in a right state over weather we stay up or not sleepless nights, High blood pressure anxiety you name it ive put myself through it. 44 years of watching palace has taken its toll. I come on here and the BBS a ridiculous amount of times looking for people being positive that we are going to be OK and then reading the negatives which makes me no better. The comfort i have is im not the only one who feels like this and that our beloved club means as much to me as the next person and if we did go down i wouldn't be the only person fed up beyond all belief. I then look at it as who really cares about us. The players and the club are not going to come round and make us feel better. What have us as fans got to gain being in the premiership. The only people who benefit are the owners and greedy players. The fans are forgotten about regardless of what happens. Players move on but we stay loyal and will always love our club regardless of what league we are in. What will be will be people we all share the love for palace and will get through it as a palace family.

Hopefully a refurbished stadium, seeing us play teams that are playing in the Champions League (rather than Burton Albion on a Tuesday night), signing players like Benteke and Cabaye, full rather than half-empty stadium. You'll be asking what the Romans did for us next

I share your pain & anxiety, the high and lows of this season have been unbelievable. If we somehow stay up, then we'll look back and talk about this season for years to come.
I as much as anyone else will be gutted to be relegated this season as we've potentially got a very good team we can build on next season, with or without Zaha. The players will be gutted if we are relegated, but they can find others clubs and move on, as we are stuck life in the Championship!
I've watched every game this season either by going to the game or streaming it. I will be there on Sunday cheering us on but will also have that horrible dread feeling in my stomach.
This week is going to be the longest week ever! I just hope Sunderland can do us a favour on Saturday!
But if the worst happens then I'll eventually get over and carry on supporting the best team in the world!

Said to the kids way back in August v WBA that we'd come up together again for the Hull match as that would probably be a relegation decider. I was half/joking half/serious. But we will be there.

We won't lose.

Do you mean apart from watching a far higher standard of football as well as world class footballers?

You make it sound as though prima donna players and greedy club owners don't exist in other leagues.

I would much rather be supporting a Crystal Palace club struggling to survive in the most competitive league and watching lazy fat wallet players than supporting a Crystal Palace club struggling to survive in the Championship with an arrogant expectation that we should be achieving more and watching lazy fat wallet players.

Was that said on Palace Talk at 4.53pm after WBA?

(The flack would've been deserved. 1-3 points chucked away by Parish stalling on transfers and Pardew acquiescing because employment comes before home truths)

Not ideal being relegated but we'll get through it ... we always do.

We re-group, aim to bounce straight back, enjoy the away days in the Championship (plenty of good ones especially if Millwall come up) ... and just enjoy the ride!

It's football at the end of the day, not life ...

I’m sorry if this makes those of a nervous disposition even more edgy, but this strange sequence of events keeps haunting me. I cannot shake it and I don’t like it at all. Some people will say this is stupid, but look at the facts.

This is year is the Chinese year of the Rooster and whenever the season has ended during one of these years, it has often been highly significant for Palace and I especially do not like the previous three occasions.

1921 – Palace promoted to Division 2 for the first time.
1933 – Palace 5th in Division Three South
1945 – No league footy for obvious reasons
1957 – Palace 5th from bottom in Division Three South
1969 – Palace promoted to the old Division One for the first time
1981 – Palace relegated from the old Division One
1993 – Palace relegated from the Premier League
2005 – Palace relegated from the Premier League
2017 - ?

Maybe in 1933 and 1957 Palace were too lowly for the Rooster to bother with us.

Benteke.

But it wasn't just that. Poor preparation that we didn't realise at the time would be a problem for the final few minutes of plenty of 1st halves and last 15 mins of 2nd halves.

Similar with West Ham. 2 week international break and unprepared again. Couldn't beat 10 men again and outwitted vs 3 at the back again.
