I am wondering if I am bargaining… earlier today I saw Crystal Palace fans drinking before their FA Cup semi (and basically taking over Covent Garden). I was remembering when we beat them in the League Cup semis and were even in the same division as them, and wondering “in an alternative universe.”

I think it’s hitting hard for us because we wouldn’t have predicted this as recently as five years ago, where we looked more likely to be in the Premier League, rather than League One by now. Whereas the Premier League relegations were definitely less of a shock and more expected than unexpected.
