Apologies if you think this sort of triumphalism betrays our motto.
But talk to Leeds, Villa, Newcastle, Sheff Wednesday fans. Of course our history is above theirs but no team has a divine right to stay in the top flight. And yet despite all the off field errors our fans stand up when needed and refuse to go down.
Our present identity is built on survival, longevity, history. Let’s hope for a strong end to the season and BMD helping us get back to winning trophies. But many clubs would kill for our trough.
This video is amazing. Very powerful. Partly because tonight I’m staying in the same hotel where I watched the Palace game. Not sure I enjoy these memories, but they are part of our foundation.
Less than 1% chance of relegation, and they think we're twice as likely to finish 15th as 17th.
Yesterday was HUGE.
