At the risk of being one of those positive sorts, having read a bunch of decisively negative stuff on these boards this past couple of months, I started to think about reasons to be cheerful (spoiler, there are more than three).
I'm struggling to find many things not to love about our club right now.
We're an established (or well on the way to being an established), Premier League club. If you'd said that to me 6 years ago, I would have literally laughed in your face.
We have a spine to our team that, thinking over the last 26 years that I've been watching (albeit youthfully), is very tough to beat. Mandanda, Dann, McArthur, Benteke.
We still have a South London flavour with Wilf in the team, still improving.
Our manager 'gets' Palace.
We've won three on the spin.
We have owners and leadership who 'get' Palace.
We have our warrior sorts in the likes of Delaney.
We're littered with serious international players, not Greg Berhalter and Craig Foster.
We're nowhere near administration.
We STILL have players who will come into the team and improve us.
Leaving aside corporate hospitality (ha!), and concourse facilities, I honestly don't know what more this club could be doing right now to make us fans happy.
So, for those negative sorts, can you fill me in? I seriously cannot help but smile every single time I think about our club right now. That's a rare thing in my lifetime, at least.
