Five years running finishing between 10th and 15th with 41-48 points

Life is so humdrum at Palace

Just imagine a season of steady mid table mediocraty where we are neither pushing for Europe or flirting with relegation. What would the moaners have to talk about on here?

- that we're not pushing for Europe and we should be
- the latest kit
- Hennessey
- Parish should have spent more
- the colour they've painted the lavatories in the stand
- the fact that they haven't painted the lavatories in the AW
- the burgers in all stands

... I could go on, but you get the picture

People tend to forget the next level could be up OR down

spot on about 'the next level' -having said that I do think we have arrived at another level. Might lose Loftus-Cheek and Cabaye in the summer - a quality partner for Luca with a bit of athleticism and pace is the priority for me, modern midfielders need to beak fast into attack, I love Jimmy Mac but he can get passed by in some games, same for Cabaye who is not going to be getting any better - I was up at Everton this year when our midfield got outclassed - we might get another year loan for Loftus Cheek, I doubt we'll be able to buy him, so one of these Dendonkers or whomever else they're thinking of is a big prriority for me.

I assume they will change the away kit colours next season :-)
