The worst ever start to a season in English league football. Six games played, no points and no goals. 540 minutes into the season and not even a goal to celebrate. Woy of Iceland infamy says he can turn it around. Old Trafford next weekend.

Losing is a hard habit to break. Away at United wouldn't normally count as likely source of points so another defeat won't increase the pressure.

Only team on my match result and btts coupon to let me down yesterday.
In hindsight it was crazy putting them on but law of averages/probability means they'll score at some time.
Roy will probably do a good job for them and I'm sure he's probably quite happy to get some of the tougher games out the way early doors before he's likely to make an impact anyway.
Always felt a bit sorry for him, he's clearly a clever guy that speaks multiple languages and managed at a very high level across the world but largely because of a speech impediment he's struggled to get any credibility in his own country.

They actually played quite well in the first half at the Etihad yesterday. They seemed well drilled in defence and had a few dangerous runs upfield. Loftus-Cheek had a couple of chances, clipping the post with the first and sclaffing the second. Once the first goal was scored they crumpled and could have been hit for ten or more.

On paper they are some side and play decent football.
I think they'll come good eventually.

The way they're going they'll struggle to match Derby's all time low of 11 points.
United we stand here....

Will do fine at Palace and personally think they'll stay up comfortably. Even after 8/9 games they'll be able to catch 8-10 points on the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth and Swansea over the rest of the season

anyway, I'm not some sort of superfan of his, I was just a bit Bored earlier and thought to some of the criticism of him in the media has been harsh, especially the stuff taking the piss out of his speech impediment.

Hes a decent man and a good manager, sure the jobs at Liverpool and England were a bit much for him but he had relative success in Sweden and in Switzerland at club level and did an exceptonal job with the Swiss national team qualifying for a world cup for the first time since God knows when, got a struggling Inter side moving the the right direction again, as mentioned did well at Fulham and West Brom and at Blackburn he took a mid table team to a Uefa cup spot (second season wasnt quite as good admittedly). Thats a better CV than most I'd say. Taken on a difficult task at Palace though, it has to be said.

I fear for Palace this year.

Its a bit like this Gareth Barry appearence thing. No mean feat btw but hes no where near the most apps if you consider the old first division. Peter Shilton for instance.

Oh dear Roy you could be sacked in 1 or 2 games time if no wins if last manager is a benchmark.

Often outfield players move back as they get older. Strikers retreat into midfield and midfielders go into defence.
Barry started out as a central defender and moved into midfield and still plays there at a high level at the age of 36.
