While Chelsea won the Premier League cup, Crystal Palace managed to finish 10th, by winning on the final day. And that is a heck of an achievement for a team that just came up the previous season, and which struggled with poor starts both last season and this.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Swansea: Alan Pardew targets four signings after his side complete their quest to finish in the top ten with Jason Puncheon starring for the Eagles at Selhurst Park
I don't think they'll be contenders for the top spot anytime soon, given how much money the top teams command, but I think they'll be fun to watch (and not just because they might drop down into the relegation zone).
‘It’s remarkable to finish 10th. I wouldn’t believe me had you told me,’ [manager] Pardew said. ‘Our record has been phenomenal. The chairman’s got an extra £4million tonight, and I’ll be trying to take it off him. We don’t have to speculate. We can buy quality. We’ve had conversations and try to feel the market.’
