I'd be amazed if he was still with us next season. The constant procrastination over his contract has been going on for months now.

gotta agree... if he does stay thats great but you kinda get the feeling he's been biding his time to see what offers come in for him this summer and any decent one & he'll be off...

just re-read it and he really is making all the right noises
and saying all the right things, i've been very impressed
with everything he has said since he took charge.

in Dougie we trust.


as for Danns if he goes he goes, we'll replace him.

Would be nice but it will never happen.

i think its this week sometime. Nathaniel Clyne must be
favourite to win the main award.

I think he could be in the running to win both awards. Certainly our most consistent player over the last season.

Thinking about it, Zaha is probably the best bet for the young player of the year award.

As it's Play off 's second leg tonight , one of the best nights in Palace's recent history The 88/89 Play Off with Blackburn , 3-1 down from the first leg , massive crowd at Selhurst 3-3 after 90 minutes , and then Ian Wright getting the winner in extra time .
Happy Days

I was in the Holmesdale that day, Barney. It was absolutely mental. Took a long time after to sink in that we had actually won promotion to the top flight. And to think, 12 months later we were in the Cup Final!!

my fondest memory from play-off finals was when we beat sheff united in 1997... david hopkins goal with the last kick of the game is still one of the best ever palace goals...

i'd put money on it...

Yeah, that was amazing. Especially as it made up for the last-minute heartbreak against Leicester the year before.

That was an incredible second half to the season we had that year. I'm going to go all geeky as I seem to recall we had a run of 15 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats in our last 21 league games that got us in to the play-offs.

The final at the Millennium was a great day out. The stadium was amazing. I remember how annoyed some where that it hadn't rained so we could play under a closed roof!

As a Mancunian living in London for the past 20 years, I thought it was about time I started supporting a London club. I went to Palace's last home game of the season and, despite the unfortunate result, am seriously considering buying a season ticket for next year.

I'm pretty sure that all I'll get is heartache by becoming a Palace supporter, but was impressed by the friendly atmosphere.

Lol, that about sums us up!

We do have great fans, that's something that has always stood out in the 30 years I've supported them. There might not have been too many good times of late but when they do happen its just magic.

Welcome to the thread, mate.

all the heartache of following palace is worth it for those moments, games & seasons when everything falls into place... those are the times of ecstasy when i wouldn't change being a palace fan for anything...

The quality is very poor but here is the Palace v Blackburn Play-off final:

We were awesome that day.

Perry was a fine goalkeeper. That 9-0 defeat at Anfield the following season broke him mentally. He was never the same after that hence us bringing in Nigel Martyn. A shame as he served us well.
