Review of the season so far!

It really is only a matter of time before we go. If not this season maybe the next or the one after that.

I agree that someone said we wouldn't do a Leicester and pop back up. We are more likely to do a Sunderland, Blackburn or Charlton for a few years.

It is draining every season. Only ever getting 9 or 10 wins a season and a purple patch to get us out of trouble.

I don’t think anyone does underestimate it, it’s not good, BUT clubs survive, I’ve been going 50 years and have witnessed about 7 relegations, we’ve been as low as the 3rd division in my time. My point is the club has always survived(admittedly just a couple of times) and will still be around for those who still want to support it in the championship.
It seems those that get the most worked up about relegation on here are those that have never witnessed it and they’ll probably be jumping ship if the worst does happen. It’s not the end of the world though, a lot of us have had great times supporting this club outside of the top flight. If we get relegated and have to have a fire sale of players, it won’t be the first time and probably not the last

Lesser quality of football and less media coverage but apart from that it really makes no difference to me, I only go to support palace, couldn't really care who the opposition is, your match day experience is probably better in the championship as less crowded.
 
Every season, 15% (3/20) of clubs in the Premier League get relegated.
If relegation were entirely random, we'd therefore expect to last about 7 years.
But of course it's not random, and there's probably one-third of the league who will never get relegated given the finances today.
That means, for the rest of us, average Prem League "life expectancy" is about 4 years.
We have survived for 3 times that!
In the time we have been hanging on, a lot of bigger, wealthier clubs with much more eminent histories and bigger crowds have gone down (think Leeds, Sunderland, Newcastle, West Ham, Villa, Derby, Wolves).
I think SP has done an amazing job.

Hear hear! Well said Steve!
 
We have had very bad luck this season with games picking on a few being Brentford with a couple of strange results, Everton again. We cannot replay those games but we will improve our results and move away from the relegation zone soon and steadily.
