"A Complete History of Crystal Palace in Europe - it wouldn't be the longest book.
"Back in 1998 under Terry Venables, and as a second-tier club, Palace lost 2-0 home and away to Turkey's Samsunspor in the Intertoto Cup , external... and, well, that's it.
"European qualification would not flatter Alan Pardew's excellent side - the best Palace team since Wright, Bright, Salako, Pardew and co.
"It's easy to forget that Swansea beat Manchester United in late August - and deservedly so. Their first 11 looks decent, but their squad has been allowed to become almost painfully thin. A new manager must be appointed quickly and given the opportunity to spend in January."
