When were we last this good ?

[PalazioVecchio]

Last week, the pundits were saying it was 1969....the last time we had such a long unbeaten run.

And that was not taking on board, a) the FA cup b) the Community Shield and c) today....

when were we last this good ?

 

[Palace Old Geezer]

I don't think we've EVER been this good Palazio. We have to give so much credit to Ollie for the work he's doing.

Magnificent to witness, although I'd like to see us convert more of those goal scoring chances.

Agreed - plus we lost Eze and have already had injuries to contend with this season.

Whilst the squad is certainly too small, it must be the best squad that we have ever had!

It feels weird to be looking at the top of the table rather than the bottom - like the start of last season.

We've got Super Oli Glasner........

Have we ever been 2nd? The highest I can remember is 3rd (when Coppell was manager)

We were top after beating Ipswich 4-1 in I think 1979-80 season

I couldn't tell you where and when, but I definitely remember us being top (for a short time) because Dad was going crazy as a result.

Well if he was 'Sir Steve'.....our current fella is 'Herr Glasner'.....or in the case of Liverpool...hair of the dog that bit ya ( twice ).

 

[Part Time James]

We are the team of the 80s at last!

 

[Team of the (20)80s]

I don’t know… but I love this squad as much as I did the 1991 team and I didn’t think I would ever say that about any side.

 

[Part Time James]

Ooo, it's like I summoned you

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

We have never been better.

 

[DenTyler]

I have the 91 team in my heart but this period is really something special.

Hypothetical question. If we had won the 1990 cup instead of Man U, would we have pushed on and had some of the success Man U had? Would we have been a bigger team? Fergie would not be ‘Sir’ as he would have sacked or that was what was said.

Is the ‘25’ team now going to push us on to unimaginable places?

 

[Steve Coops]

So proud of this team we get knocked back By uafa lose our star player Ese but you can not take the team spirit away from this team 18 games unbeaten what a great achievement keep it up 🦅🦅👍

3rd at the end of the season but in September we played Nottingham Forest with a win would have taken us top. However, despite taking the lead we drew that day. Otherwise, September 79 is the only time we were top.

Im just enjoying it,doing all the european aways , if in a years time we have southgate/dyche and its all gone to s*** , we will always have the year 2025.
Our back 6 is unbelievable now (Trevor wouldn’t start over Richard’s ,if he was here now )
If we played PSG, Real Madrid anyone, I’d fancy us.

No because one of the reasons we are this good is the patient build up these last 15 years since CPFC 2010 took over and ran the club like a business and not as a trophy wife like so many before. Castles made of sand come tumbling to the ground, eventually. Ours is concrete.

And to add - to your last question. Maybe.

Glasner's pulsating Palace brutally expose Liverpool flaws

From the BBC site very positive piece.

 

[Freedman87]

We have never been this good. This is the best team we've ever had and the best manager we are ever likely to have. And isn't it WONDERFUL

 

[martin2412]

I'm not used to this. I started going in the third division in 1974, and since then we've been mostly cack, and I was quite comfortable with that.
I feel like one of those glory supporters now.
