Huddersfield only managed to beat it by 5 points and that's after having a full season of Premier League money behind them. They even managed records that even we don't have - they are joint with Sunderland for most Prem home defeats in a season and joint with Man CIty for fewest Prem goals scored at home in a season. I personally think its only a matter of time before its broken and I believe Brighton, Shef Utd, Norwich and Newcastle will all give it a good go next year.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 1 hour ago, David said: Never been a believer it's a record that will never be broken, just waiting for the right club and circumstances to come along, this could be our year. First part, you're right. It's completely irrational to say it can never be broken because it only takes one draw fewer. No chance will it be this season though. Chris Wilder is an excellent manager and I don't see their squad being much weaker than Cardiff's last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the problem is that there's multiple teams that you could see not doing very well this year. All those you've listed might well end up being rubbish, but they'll all inevitably end up taking points off each other and raising their totals. Fulham and Huddersfield, for example, both got 3 points on their totals by beating each other once because they were roughly equally poor. I don't think the record will be broken until there comes another season where there's a singular team that is far worse than the rest of the teams.

Norwich and Sheffield United, home team wins that's 3pts each, fail to beat anyone else and pick up 7 draws. Sounds terrible but that's what it takes and entirely possible. Whilst I think Norwich will come back down, for some reason I don't see them being as terrible as Sheff United. Gut feeling, but then my guts are dodgy at the minute so it could be that.

Kennington Ram Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I think it probably requires total organisational failure as well as a crap, unsettled squad and awful management. We had all the stars align for the worst season, but not many teams have managed all three (in)competencies since us. Only Villa and Sunderland if I recall properly really got as bad as we were, and even then their squads were more talented. Cardiff? Crap squad, crap organisation... canny manager. Newcastle could be capable of it, but their squad still looks good and Bruce is surely clever enough to bag a few points. Norwich have a better squad, a good manager and seem to be well run. Wilder seems to be a very good manager with a largely settled squad... even if it is crap. So you'd think they will bag enough, unless they get silly and sack him or something.

Marriot Ram99 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 They have now spent more money https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49121478 Up to over £120 mill now after singing a midfielder called Marvellous from Club Bruges , I can't see them doing a Fulham TBH they have quality all over their squad, I cans see them finishing between 13th-10th.

Marriot Ram99 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Only Juve, Madrid, Barca , and Athletico Madrid have spent more than Villa so far, and they only beat us thanks to a Roos howler , absolutely mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 The more they spend, the more pressure they will bring upon themselves. You can't spend 130m and not expect to be under pressure when they start losing games. They didn't need that many players, I can see a lot of unrest at villa.

Millenniumram Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 This new player sounds absolutely marvellous that they’ve bought... Theyre gonna easily survive next season imo. Too many good players in their squad now. Shows what you can do with prem money, they’ve done a good job in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 So Villa have started off with two defeats from two. Surely a reality check for the fans who thought they were going to storm the top 10 like Wolves. Mind you, long way to go yet. It’ll be interesting to see where they are after 10 games. They have 5-6 big games coming up - Everton, West Ham, Brighton, Burnley at home, and Palace and Norwich away - which you would expect to set the tone for the season. If it all goes wrong, the meltdown will be hilarious - ‘£120m spent and we can’t even beat Burnley at home!’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those team will get less than 25 points, all far too good to even get in the teens never mind less than 11 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Our 11 points record is a bit it like 100m world record. Bolts 9.58 secs set the bar so low that it will last a generation to beat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
