PistoldPete2 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Palace may well beat a few of our records from that year but the final points total of 11 points is not under threat. Not this year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The wheels need to totally come off for that record to ever be challenged i still believe we went up with a better side than we started the prem season with. Lupoli went back, seth retired and we signed a past it league two player. He must have thought it was a joke when his agent rang him also as crap as he was and as much as i wanted him sacked, in hindsight we would have probably got more that 11 points if billy didnt get sacked. Jewell was well worse imo. Everyone knew we were doomed but at least have some fighting spirit rather that openly admit we were going down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 7 hours ago, Leicester Ram said: Despite the awful start they're still considerably better than we ever were. They'll easily win 4 games this season, too much quality. Even if Benteke was out for the season instead of 6 weeks, there's still quality across the team. Zaha, Cabaye, McArthur, Riedeweld, Sakho, Dann, even that one trick pony Townsend...you can't compare them to Clodd and co. The record will never be broken, teams in the PL/higher Champ have simply got too wealthy and influential. They can cherry pick from the best European leagues now and scouting/player analysis has got so much more advanced that you'll never see a raft of duds like the signings of 07/08. Totally agree. Palace have a very decent squad and will probably be in the relegation scrap right up to the last few games of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As embarrassing as our record is, imagine how embarrassing it must be to hold the record of being the only team that the worst team in history were able to beat (and, in fact, take 4 if our 11 points from). Actually, were there any other teams we remained undefeated against that season? Anyone we drew with home and away? Or do Newcastle also have the ignominy of being the only team that couldn’t beat the worst team in history. Nearly beat Newcastle away too, Viduka equalised in the 87th minute.

Inglorius Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just consider that even without transfer inflation a team of Joe Hart (Shrewsbury to Man City), Ashley Williams (Stockport to Swansea), Wes Morgan (Forest to Leicester), Matt Ritchie (Portsmouth to Bournemouth), Riyad Mahrez (Le Havre to Leicester), Troy Deeney (Walsall to Watford) and Jamie Vardy (Fleetwood Town to Leicester) all cost less than the combined transfer fees for Claude Davis and Robert Earnshaw. How sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I don't want Palace to beat our record. I want to be in the stadium when we get 12 points in the prem, hope its at home. The away fans will have no idea why we are invading the pitch and dancing like @Boycie at a wedding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslad1992 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Christmas time absolutely killed us that season... we were down by then I think but we dropped points late on in nearly every game. Newcastle scored a very late equaliser (about 88 mins) 2 points lost. Boxing Day Liverpool scored a last minute winner, 1 point dropped. Bolton scored in stoppage time to win, 1 point dropped. Don't get me wrong we were awful that year... buts that's 3 games out of 4 over Christmas/new year where if we hadn't have conceded so late on we would have at least been the joint worst team! still... wouldn't change it for the world! Nothing will take that day at Wembley away from 15 year old ramslad! Still the best day of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
