I laughed with glee when Pullis took over; all that boring, direct hoofball to be played at Smell. Not laughing now though. He has done a seriously good job and has given a lot of the big time managers a bashing.
As much as it grieves me to write this i have nothing but respect for how their team has managed to drag themselves off the floor from absolute certainties for the drop to upper mid table respectability, truly astonishing turnaround in fortunes, fair play to them and worst of all their support has to be admired, I FEEL ABSOLUTELY SICK NOW.

Well I think its refreshing that a team can come up from the championship and be slated by every pundit around while the big clubs look down their nose at you with a team that is worth a fraction of the big prema donna clubs and stand their ground regardless of who they are .Fair play I say and credit where its due .
what I find more disappointing is not that pulis has turned them around into a solid team, but hes turned them into a decent team! its not like they play shitty football like pulis has in that past at stoke, they are mildly entertaining to watch compared to some of the other dribble in the league e.g. west hame
but yes... congratulations ****wits

He has done a remarkable job with essentially Ollies team.
He crucially signed quality in January, not quantity like earlier in the season.
The long ball /throw in tactic from Stoke hasn't been seen, and we are playing some lovely stuff.
Some more astute signings in the summer, and we could push on.

You loathe them with all that you are and yet for some reason you felt compelled to write a ' well done Palace thread' I take it you weren't around in the 70's and 80's.

I think suggesting that very few players from a team 11th in the Premiership would make our starting line-up slightly opens us to ridicule.
Are we suggesting, therfore, that our squad would need no additions should it get promoted?
Maybe I should have a bet on Leicester City for the top four next year.

There's more chance of david cameron getting stung by a jellyfish than there is of me ever saying well done to p@l@ce!!

Don't give them any credit FFS. They've had the luckist 12 months of any football team ever. They went up almost by accident, the rot set in with holloway 15 games before the end of last season. Had there been two more games they wouldn't have made the play-offs and holloway would be in charge of a mid table championship side at the moment. We should've won the tie in the play-offs but Gus acted like a selfish c*** and decided he couldn't be bothered to win.
Even more remarkable though is Pulis. He was appointed at a time when the rest of the premier league clubs wouldn't touch him with a barge pole because of how his team played at stoke. No other manager who was rated wanted the pa**ce job because it was a dead cert for relegation on their CV so Pulis and phallus came together out of desperation and all of a sudden he's turned into some sort of f**king tactical genius over night!! Unbelievable!!
They won't get relegated with him in charge. Ever. Thinking about it makes me want to vomit. The only saving grace is that I have no doubt we'll be up there in the near future.

Congratulate them? Never. I would rather stick my head in a wasp nest.
Although I new pulis would keep them up.

Wow - keep taking the meds, Pulis was out of work for barely 5 months. Hardly in the wilderness.
Pulis, who incidentally I have to say I didn't want for all the reasons that have been mentioned in this thread, has does a brilliant job. Much to my surprise we are playing some very good football at times, yes there's been a few shitty games but the majority have been very entertaining.
We have to do it all again and it won't be much easier next season. If you do get promoted (I see you assume that you'll be promoted very soon, if only it were that easy you do as you say need some luck) learn from our mistake and keep the core of your team together. It's easy to spunk shit loads on very average players.

The biggest problem Palace have is Selhurst Park. No amount of poorly fitted cladding will sort it out.
Will be interesting to see what the board have in mind.
I would imagine spend a ton of money doing it up and then go into administration again - it's worked for them in the past!!
Oh, and well done!
