Nah, our club is far more exclusive
Really don't get why the UEFA conference league is considered a big cup |  | | |

Well it's more than we've done for 45 years!
I'd take any type of success.
Getting to and staying in the Premiership is what we're hoping for. Winning trophies of any kind would be amazing. Getting to a cup final of any kind is lightyears away, let alone qualifying for Europe, from where we're at.
Trivialising Crystal Palace's recent FA cup and European success isn't a great look IMO. |  | | |

That was a hard watch like St Mirren v Partick the other day. | | | |

We did win the Texaco Cup, so I suppose the analogy still works. That was also a completion for clubs that just failed to qualify for major European Cups.
Palace have do well to be fair to them. I’d happily experience what they are at the moment. (But yes I agree, it’s still not a major European Trophy). |  |

It was considered a bit of a joke tournament when it started and it only seems to be taken a bit more seriously now because English teams constantly win it. If it was being won by the 8th place finisher in la liga rather than palace I doubt anyone would think of it as a major cup
It's not needed. It's just there to make more money for UEFA. A team finishing 7th or 8th in the premier league does not really deserve a place in Europe.
Well done to palace for winning it but if there was now another European competition called the UEFA Conference North/South and the teams finishing 9th and 10th in the prem qualified would people think of that as a major European trophy too? Where does it end? | | | |

Congratulations to Crystal Palace. They are now in the Europa Cup and will give us the edge when playing them next season. It is difficult for clubs in Europe to play consistently with a stretched squad. | |

They were playing in Europe this season too, mate. |  |

Ahem
Simple reminder... by hoppy 26 May 10:36Now we're promoted again... It's called the 'Premier League'... NOT the 'Premiership'.
We're not in Scotland, nor are we still back in 2007 when it last had that name in England.

Crystal Palace are not going to win the Premier League or Champions League (yes I remember the anomaly that was Leicester City), so winning this is up there with the best they could realistically hope for - FA Cup possibly, Europa Cup or Champions League qualification very much at a push.
On the plus side for us, it might make them a little less desirable as an option for Kieran McKenna. I am still nervous about them making another approach, as clearly they have a longstanding interest & it is notable that no successor has been muted despite knowing that Glasner is going for ages; contrast with Bournemouth, who announced Iraola's replacement within a week. They obviously have a coach who is already in a job, in mind.
Having just won a European trophy (even if it is the Mickey Mousest of them) will make it harder for their new coach to demonstrate success next season. | |

"FA Cup possibly"
They literally won the FA cup last season (or the season before, depending on when you consider a new season to start) and should have been in the Europa league as a result but were demoted to the Conference league under multi club ownership rules
For what it's worth i'm not knocking Palace's achievement. I'm knocking the competition they were in | | | |
