So I know I shouldn’t do this. I’ve deliberately avoided posting about Palace this year since saying I would have taken 17th place before the season started, because I was pretty sure they were going down. The last time I was this excited about them they were in like 5th place near Christmas under Pardew and we know what happened there.
They still have a bunch of tough games left. Liverpool next week, among others. Most are teams above them in the standings. That could be bad, but also allows them to catch teams ahead of them in 6-pointers. In the anything could happen world of Project Restart, could they have a chance at Europe? Especially if the Man City ban is upheld?
Please readjust my expectations, because between this and Union surviving the Bundesliga, I’m starting to actually be optimistic about this sport, and I know that is dumb dumb dumb.
