The Key Club King Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Every year I say the same thing - I'd have money on all the teams doubling our tally of 11 points. I think only a couple of teams have not got to 22 points since we set the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still keep trying to go toe to toe in every match . If Kompany don’t wise up he will struggle to get many more points.

IslandExile Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 All the candidate teams are showing more fight than our lot did so I think the record is ours to keep. Sadly. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Not only did we lack quality we also completely lacked fight. It's one of the reasons I hate that Danny Mills and Alan Stubbs skit on being part of the 'worst team in history'. They were part of a collective who should hold their heads in shame (barring perhaps Darren Moore) for their time and taking a pay cheque while contributing absolutely f*** all. It's one thing to be crap, it's another to be crap and basically go on the pitch without even the desire to win. A while ago I looked back at some old Paul Jewell interviews from that season and he basically said the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried till February and then the new ones just made it worse and for 10 games they couldn't have gave less of a s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 A non existent penalty in the 100 th minute last week. A red card and an own goal this one. Never had that luck did we, not in the first 2/3 rds of the season were they putting in some effort.. Discounting the last 10 games were it wouldn't have mattered as they couldn't have gave a s***. jimtastic56 and Dean (hick) Saunders 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shef Utd are crawling towards 11 pts and Bournemouth have 9 , which shows you crowd size means Jack in the Prem. Burnley must be looking at Kompony’s job. They walked the Championship and spent £100 mill . He is now asking for another £50 m in Jan, but Burnley fans have turned on him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness we did have some luck but couldn’t capitalize on it. We draw at Fulham who played with 10 men for a half. We also had a penalty when 1-0 up against Blackburn, which we missed, then they scored two and won 1-2. We had the perfect storm to achieve 11 points. I think Huddersfield a few years ago was our best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not going to get many worse teams with less investment than Luton. But even their making a decent go of it. Over 38 games against premier league opposition, I bet most league 1 or 2 teams would win a couple. It would be interesting to see stats on that based on the last 38 cup ties between say Walsall and premier league teams. I bet if you converted them into points they’d still have more than 11. Its embarrassing that we were supposedly premier league standard, and couldn’t even muster more than one cup set level result (which wouldn’t have been a cupset, as we were supposed to be on the same level). every dog has their day against premier league opposition at some point. But out of 38 attempts that season, we had one good day. That’s kind of pathetic. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 This is massive news. I think having been deducted ten points, it's going to make it extremely difficult for their fans to sing about, what with it only having one syllable!

Personally, I don't think a 10 point deduction will cause them much of a problem being imposed at this point in the season and looking at the other clubs down near the bottom. I think they'll easily get more than 11 points and avoid relegation too. GboroRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton F C are said to be worth £550 million but the new ground is costing £750 million . Those sums don’t add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
