I’m taking what I wrote the last time and amending it based on the new manager:
I'll put out my lonely request for Crystal Palace, again. I've probably told the story, but I went to London to see the 49ers play, and decided to go see an EPL game while there. I wanted to see a "big" club. The only way I could get tickets was to become a member of Crystal Palace, who were playing Arsenal at home. I went in there thinking, I'll become an Arsenal fan today ("Fever Pitch", though I've never seen the dumb movie). It was their first year back in the PL. I thought they outplayed Arsenal, even though they lost 0-2. I've hardly missed a match since. It's a working class team, but still in London, so not too hard to get to. Principal owner is a lifelong fan of the team.They have some very exciting players, and their new manager has changed their approach in a competitive way that is also fun to watch. The stadium environment is second to none in the league (possible exception of Craven Cottage, now back in the Championship) -- small and old stadium with passionate fans throughout. People who care a lot more about the game than about wining. It's probably the most multi-cultural team/fanbase/neighborhood in London, if not the EPL. There is a lot to like, except the consistently mediocre results. But aside from Brighton, and probably Watford fans, nobody else is going to hate you, and probably most will respect you for being a Palace fan.
After a typically Palace protracted search for a manager, they ended up with Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira. He’s has them playing a very exciting style that is a stark contrast to the very conservative approach that has mostly characterized their most recent spell in the league. They recently beat Spurs 3-0 in possibly the best-played game I’ve ever seen from them, and despite losing to Liverpool by the same score last week (a score that did not represent the game’s competitiveness), they very much looked like they belong and compete with any team in the league. They have brought in a lot of young, exciting players this past offseason, turning over what was an old roster. I think most people would agree that they had one of, if not the best, transfer windows this summer (certainly when adjusted for finances). They are in their 9th consecutive season in the league. That's not to say they have not flirted with relegation at all (they have), but at least it hasn't been a yo-yo since I've been a fan.
And it would be nice to have some company here.
P.S. There is a five-part series on Amazon Prime, “When Eagles Dare”, chronicling the team’s turnaround from near-administration to returning to the Premier League in just a few years. It’s a fun look at the team and will give you some idea what the experience is like.
