![]() Not sure I ever got to enjoy the tag at the time. Loved winning regularly but I had never experienced that type of top tier success before at Palace and it just felt unreal/fragile, which of course it proved to be as the squad broke up. But great times, players etc. and coverage that we had rarely had before.

Fantastic viewing, and what a brilliant quote from Jim Cannon when asked by the great Brian Moore what he'd learned about his team after beating reigning European Champions Nottingham Forest 1-0:
"We've learned that we can win this Championship." ![]()

The team of the 80s was widely known, most older proper football supporters know it as well from most clubs and can often name a good handful of the players straight away.

Just watched it, brilliant memories, wonderful time to be a Palace fan.

My favourite memory is of Cloughie admitting he'd swap all his success to manage our kids. Loved him bemoaning how he'd coveted Burridge for years but had to make do with Shilton and how he always got a bigger buzz playing at Selhurst Park than Wembley. Ok, things are getting out of hand.

I remember when we were relegated football fans of other clubs,predominantly at work,all used that team of the 80`s tag to take the piss.Come 1984 I couldn`t believe how far we had fallen.

There's not many teams that have strayed out of the top two flights in the last 42 years.

Also remembering that Big Mal was the only pundit to back us against Liverpool at Villa Park.
Flamboyant, controversial, two relegation, two fa youth Cup wins and a great FA Cup run in 1976 put Palace well and truly on the map. One of the best managers we've ever had imvho opinion. Absolutely loved the guy.

Remember when we were on the cup run and Port Vale I think it was, lined up and applauded Palace onto the pitch... then promptly beat us 1-0!

It feels like there is a glass ceiling at the moment (barring any new, huge investment - but probably not even then with FFP). We have done so well in the last 7 years but it does a feel a bit like this is it. Bar the outside chance of a cup run. In the Championship we dreamt of promotion. |

I guess a lot of things get forgotten over time, and that would be by many who aren't Palace fans.

I’ve always thought that Palace since the mid 70s despite the opposite have been quite rare in being stable and top two divisions. Or course not elite in being only one of the 2 clubs who have stayed in the top div - Arse, Everton ? - only since the 70s but pretty solid really |
