I've never understood the logic of hoping for relegation. Neither do I. What to expect from relegation? Getting promoted again and hoping that the next spell in the PL will be better? It's like deliberately getting divorced because you're looking forward to wooing your ex-wife again in the hope that she'll remarry you and the next marriage will be better than the current one.

It's the fact that every year is a mirror image of the last. Year upon year upon year upon year. In the last 12 years I'd have had more fun being a Norwich fan or a Fulham fan having promotions under our belt and being a force in a division we compete in. In my opinion if you have been in the Premier league for 12 years and not once made a push for Europe then what's the point? Even if we never got to Europe, if we made the teams that were pushing be looking over their shoulders at us in fear it probably wouldn't be so bad. If your okay with just flirting with relegation then I'm happy for you. You do realise crystal palace are the only team in Premier league history to have been in the Prem for this long and not qualified for Europe?

Roy does a fantastic job of getting able players to get results at the top level,competing against the highest earners in world football.Mateta breaks clear of the Chelsea defence and fails to shoot at goal ,that is not Roy,s fault.The Palace problem is that the midfield is weak.

There’s a simple remedy to your pain - go and be a Norwich or Fulham fan..!! Meantime IMO - we are just a decent Manager and a few more decent players off - being a very good Prem side..!! Then the opportunity to push on..!! Why on earth would you want to swap that to go back into the Championship - just doesn’t make sense..!! COYP

I understand what you mean. But that means you would lose interest if you see no chance of getting into Europe within a certain period of time or maybe never. What if we get relegated and have no chance of promotion in the next few years? Do we then hope to be relegated to another league?

You've just hit the nail on the head. Your totally right. We are a few more players and a manager away from being a good side BUT. . . . the sad thing is, our owners don't have the wallet nor the ambition to actually go out and do what you and what we all want. So will never be anything more than a side just there making up the numbers maybe I'm just done with the Premier league. To rub it in even more, We can't even celebrate goals anymore. I’m sick to the teeth that referees no longer have the final say…it’s all down to the powers upstairs who have the benefit of VAR, the worst thing to have been introduced in my opinion!.

Correct. Not the fault of Roy. We need a Kevin De Bruyne in midfield.
