Should I be worried about Crystal Palace yet?

It's early in the season, so the answer to the above question is probably 'no'.  The Palace is tied with four other teams with 8 points, ahead of Everton (6) and three teams in the relegation zone now which each have 4.  This is in the Barclays Premier League, of course.

After all, everybody was in despair about Manchester United, and they grabbed a quick couple of wins and moved way way up to fourth, tied with Swansea and Tottenham Hotspurs. So things are still too volatile and too early to be nervous.

This weekend the Palace plays Chelsea, and though soccer is a funny game, the Eagles (that's their nickname) won't be favored to tie or win in that fixture.

Maybe in December I should check back on their status.
