Why 2016-17 will be a great year for Palace

It's written in the stars folks. We may even 'do a Leicester'

Palace losing at Wembley = league greatness the following year.

We've done faily well at Wembley over the years, with a slightly better than 50% record but on the occasions we've endured heartache, the response from Palace has been great

1988 - Lost in 1st Round of Mercantile Credit Trophy Cup thingy :sob:
1989 - Glorious promotion :D

1990 - Robbed in FA Cup :sob:
1991 - Greatest season ever - 3rd place in top flight :D

1996 - Last gasp heartache v Leicester :sob:
1997 - Last gasp glorious promotion :D

2016 - Moral victory and gallant defeat :sob:
2017 - ........

And for those of you nervous about this modern trend of the team losing the Cup Final then getting relegated, we smashed one of those trends in 1991 when back then for the previous few years, the team playing Man United in the last game got relegated (which was Clownton in 1990 by the way :clown:)

So take pride in our colourful and vocal effort from Saturday and get ready for another great year. :lux::lux:

Feel free to add other omens/reasons as to why we're going to enjoy next season.
