Well to be fair Crystal Place is far from successful. They won the FA cup which is sort like winning the in season nba tournament . It’s only notable because it’s the only thing they have ever won in 100 years. Still better than any recent Sixers accomplishments!

Calling Crystal Palace successful is a stretch. It's like a borderline lottery team randomly won the in-season tournament one year, except people kinda care about the tournament (but still not nearly as much as the league).

ok that's better

It’s a cool tournament because teams from the lesser league get to participate. But it also means that a lot of best teams don’t really try because it takes away from they main in season goals.

In their last 11 seasons in the Premier League since getting promoted, they've never finished higher than 10th or lower than 15th out of 20 teams. There are plenty of jokes out there about they are the most consistently mediocre team imaginable, despite occasionally producing some great players.

Yeah, Crystal Palace is very much like the Sixers in that they are very consistently mediocre. The difference is no one gets their hopes up for CP, except for this random run they're making at the FA Cup (in-season tourney people care about is as good an analogy as you can make)

i would also add that they have a cool name

Highly recommend catching a match in their stadium though.
