Man City 0-2 Palace

Well, that was unexpected.  I know Palace have been playing well - though with an uncanny ability to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory.  But I definitely didn't see this coming.  Is this a sign of a welcome return to mid-table mediocrity - rather that than being embroiled in any sort of relegation battle?  I sure hope so, though I fear we didn't get enough points during this little run of playing well.  We could just as easily follow that with a little run of not playing well, and quickly slip down the table once again.  The relegation battle seems quite wide open this year, with one notable exception - we are one of many teams who could go down with Norwich.
