We played wonderful stuff at the start if the season. I don't know if it was Smith who changed the style of play or if other teams found us out, but we went a bit route one for the second half of the season. So whilst everyone rightly points out the significance of the Stewart transfer, to me it reminds me of a more result based, less enjoyable stage of the season.
I feel that if we didn't have Armstrong upfront, we wouldn't have been anywhere near promotion. He destroyed teams in that division on his day.

Cracking season ! Armstrong was excellent and we played some wonderful stuff especially in the first half of the season. I remember us being top of the league at Christmas and staying there. I was at Boro away when we clinched the title and remember getting back to Kings Cross train station and seeing all the players getting onto the coach, singing 'Palace are back' ! Happy days.

I agree that it was one of the strongest squads ever in the second tier. A great mamager would have taken teh leagues points record but Alan Smith just about got us the title.
There have been very few other occasions when a team has come down so strong and kept the majority of them together. |

Which was more than made up for in the first game of the next season as we get horribly spanked by Liverpool, new signing Ray Wilkins fvcks off badly injured and the Holmesdale's a bleeding building site.

Martyn played in a few summer friendlies for England, but still opted to stay. Love the man! Smith really did have a good job to walk into

Normal service was resumed straight away, that much is a definite but as a season, well 1993-94 it does seem to be almost the 'lost' one when it comes to reflecting back on the good and the bad. Like somehow we have tried to erase it from our collective memories for a whole host of reasons, not least the rather dubious tendency in the majority of us to support Palace for the drama of it all, rather than actually wanting a team who win things with seeming ease. Somehow it just aint right. |

This is a to bigger step up for him i reckon" |

Highlights for me
Armstrong hat trick and Southgate goal from the car park v Pompey Brum away with a great passing goal stroked home by Richard shaw Watford away on a freezing afternoon. Sat next to Joyce the voice Jolly with late goal v Southend just post Xmas Boro away. Boro fans applauded us at end of game then bayed for blood of their manager

This was the day after Kurt Cobain died or his death was announced.

Loved Brum away Oxford away Pompey And Stoke at home to name but a few, but a game that illustrated the spirit of the team was Peterborough at home when we won 3-2 after being 2 down. The team always thought they could win it or so it seemed to me. Rare Richard Shaw goal in that game if memory serves me right.
