As @Triggaaar mentioned, I think its completely reasonable to conclude that had other European spots been available that year, Palace wouldn't have finished in one of the spots. Regardless, they didn't, plus the 2010 Palace today is a completely different Palace to then.I feel a bit torn about this - because of course they did finish third in the old First Division - which would easily have qualified them for the Champions League. Except that at the time that (European Cup) was reserved for, yes - Champions! And they also would have qualified for the UEFA Cup that season, if places for English Clubs hadn't been limited because of Heysel.
