For me what was getting boring was the team hovering above the relegation zone then climbing away from trouble and finishing 14th year after year. In truth we haven't been in a proper relegation battle for ten years. A proper one meaning taking it almost to the last day. We were always well clear of trouble long before the end of the season.I know I am risking a lot of abuse of the "you ungrateful b*****d" variety, but is anyone else finding this league season a bit tedious ? Our matches don't matter as much as usual because we have been safe for several weeks. The agony of Saturday afternoons is much less, and the ecstacy of a win has been replaced by a gentle satisfaction.
Of course I should be delighted, but it's not quite as exciting as flirting with danger and then pulling clear. I might change my mind if we win the cup of course.
I think its refreshing to be looking up instead of down and for the first time in a long time we are battling on two fronts. The cup and finishing as high up the table as possible.
I'd say as a Palace fan this season is probably shaping up to be the most satisfying and exciting maybe ever!
