Surely Palace can't... 16/17

Sadly, I think Swansea, Sunderland and Hull are all worse than Palace. And just in case one of those three find a bit of form, I also think (hope) 'Boro will sink without trace as well.

Swansea were a bit unlucky at Seventh placed Everton, Sunderland have found a bit of form in the last two games...I think Hull will finish bottom though.

It's getting more uncomfortable every week for our chums.

We, on the other hand, are having a great season again. I know who's having the most fun!

Would be very interested to see their 'Points per £1M spent in the summer'' against the rest too.

Palace - 55m - 11 points = 5m per point
Leicester - 47m - 12 points = 3.9m per point ( not including Champions league points....!)
Swansea - 20m - 6 points - 3.6m per point
Sunderland - 21m - 8 points - 2.5m per point
West Ham - 15m - 11 points - 1.3m per point
Hull - 13m - 10 points = 1.3m per point
Middelsboro - 7m - 11 points = 0.6m per point

How shit do you actually have to be to be in the bottom 3.

Very frustrating to see Palace week after week get turned over but still stay out the bottom 3.

Even more annoying is they are only 1 win from mid table.

You just need to be absolutely gash to be in that drop zone.

Roll on Swansea. Fancy Palace to win but Swansea should be up for it.

That's some good analysis there, but surely it has to be a 'net' spend to give a truer picture of this 'points-per-game' representation.
Do you have the figures at hand to crunch those numbers ?

Palace are on the worst form in all four divisions.

In the calendar year 2016. The stats are shown over 31 games, but only 12 of them have been played this season, so 19 games included in the stats are pretty much irrelevant to this season.

How??

See above. And technically West Ham as well as all four are below Palace in the table.

I just don't get this latest penchant for producing calendar year stats as they are mostly completely meaningless.

It's just a lovely way to laugh at the sad sad car crash that is crystal palace. You don't have to partake.

Why spoil the fun ?
But if you want to know, the players sold ( Palace) came to around £40 mill, so a net spend of around £15 mill.

Well, you can't really spend much more than the £15 million as you need to spend fortunes on wages for 'players' like Adebayor.

I believe it was £8.8m net spend . Also with all the players we released the wage bill hasn't increased by much so it's all good for the new manager in the next window .

Not confident of beating Swansea then? Or have you just seen him dancing down to the Croydon job centre, P45 in hand?

Since Palace have now spent 7 years in the Premiership and 16 years in the top league against a fat zero and a measly 4 for Albion that makes your situation something like a unicycle trying to stay upright. Thanks to Mr Bloom.
