Uncle woy taking up his motivational stance sitting on branch rubbing chin all he is missing is a Brolly and he will be as ridiculous as another failed England Mgr
We have a record Crystal Palace 0-1 Southampton Crystal Palace have gone 439 minutes without a goal at the start of the season. The record was Newcastle on 438 set in 2005-06.
74 mins Crystal Palace 0-1 Southampton I have to say - and sorry Saints fans if it's kiss of death - but Palace do not look like scoring at all.
They are not able to penetrate, crosses don't even look too dangerous as often they are from deep. Ryan Bertrand and Cedric Soares as full-backs for the away side are not letting much in behind them.
BeIN sports said first top flight team rather than first Premier League team so I assumed that included everything pre-1992 also...
Sky also said the first top flight team in the history of football in this country to go their first 5 games without scoring, but they do have a tendency to forget that football existed before 1992 so not sure if this is correct?
The frustrating thing though is two wins (if they can get them and they're midtable)... None of the shite above them want to get clear of them which'll make the situation even sweeter

They didn't sign any extra strikers and so are reliant on Benteke, and hoofing it up to him.
They still have players in their squad who aren't PL quality (Lee Chung-Yung, Sako).
They didn't start Milivojevic today who was brilliant last season.
They brought a manager in over the summer who wanted to completely change the way they play without bringing in the players to do it.
Basically they're architects of their own downfall. With their next games they may go 8 games without a point or a goal. Here's hoping!
First team ever to lose their first five top flight matches without scoring.
