I remember Hull almost gave us a spanking just before Silva took over.
There was two weeks in the difference in appointments.
Palace had 15 points and finished with 41
Hull had 12 points and finished with 34
Im a big Silva fan as it goes but i think the point you are making the evidence doesn't back up. I think what is a also notable is Palace recruited well that January with Allardyce.
'Almost' gave us a spanking?! I've heard some tenuous arguments in my time but that's up there. I mean, we had more possession, shots, shots on target, and missed an absolute sitter in the last minute, but I suppose you're right, if they'd scored another 5 goals they'd have spanked us.
So what you're saying is Silva took 4 less points from 3 less games, having lost 3 of his best players within a month of being there and bringing in a handful of loans, while Allardyce spent £30m. Which one are you saying did the better job again?
