I love how up themselves Palace fans have gotten because they've spent a few months hovering near the top, before the inevitable slide down (which has already begun). Suddenly all your players are miles better than those of side that finished comfortably above you at the END of last season.
Most signings are known on here ages before they happen (Ulloa, Vicente, CMS as first 3 examples off top of my head, all were known on here days if not weeks before they happened).
