Not if we get a point tomorrow we don't. The fact that we're in this position, with the side we have, is frankly disgraceful rather than loveable.

You no how this is gonna play out. It'll go to last game. Place always seem to find the most extraordinary ways to go down. For our sake I hope I'm wrong

We are a top 10 side not a bottom 4 side we have the best side we have ever had and we find ourselves in the bottom 5 as I've said before worst season ever in my eyes with the squad we have

No wonder it’s called the Palace rollercoaster. I have supported the team for 56 years now and in 29 of them we have either been pushing strongly for promotion or fighting relegation. Fourteen times we have been in the promotion picture and fifteen times we have been involved in the relegation struggle. Sixteen of these occasions has seen us change division – nine upwards and seven downwards.

How many other teams can have had so many seasons where there has been something to play for right to the end? With our history, even if the worst happens this season and we drop into the Championship, we’ll be back. It’s in our DNA. It’s not an easy ride being a Palace fan, but most of us wouldn’t change it for the world.

You just brought a tear to my old eye, Piggles.

There is one you forgot. Palace v Burnley in Division 2. No, not 1979, but (sadly only) 4 years later, in 1982/83. We had to avoid defeat in the final game to stay in Division 2 and send Burnley down. We won 1-0.

Remember that. Think Ian Edwards scored for us

I remember that well and was very aware of the irony that we should have been in that situation playing Burnley after meeting them in the final match in very different circumstances only 4 years before. There was still a 20,000 plus crowd there for that game.

In our first season in the top flight back in 1969 1970 we had to beat Man City at home in our last match of the season to stay up. We won them 1-0.

So, we haven't always fouled up in these situations.

Another one. 1995 - Palace had to win at Newcastle and hope Villa lost at Norwich. Villa drew, we lost and went down in fourth from bottom place.

Also 1974. Palace visited Cardiff in the last game knowing they had to win to stay up and send Cardiff down. Palace drew. Cardiff stayed up.

Not the last game of the season, the last but one. The same season as Stockport (2000/01) when we had Portsmouth away in mid-week. Defeat would have meant relegation but we went there and won 4-2 thanks to goals from Forssell, Riihilahti & Freedman (2).

Find out what team is in which division, eg which division is Coppull United in?
