THE BEST RESULT

GeoffN · **Posted:** Sat Jan 03, 2009 6:34 pm

in Pools history. Beats the 1-0 against Palace, and the "dodgy" pen. No luck this time simply outplayed and outfought them.

Shame so many couldn't be ar$ed to go along and witness it. stpid

. Never mind, those that were there can talk about it for years to come.

Well done Pools :grin:

I thought the Palace result was the better one. They were the form team in the league, just won Manager of the Month and had a number of england internationals in their team. Stoke were just simply awful. They weren't even that good in all honesty.

Can you remember the Palarse match, because from what I can remember, they were equally as shite as Stoke were today

At least the Stoke boss accepted the defeat with good grace, unlike that ar$e of a man, Coppell

What about the 1st time we dumped Palace out of the cup in '78 I think (Elvis will confirm) a brace from Bob Newton!
A great day and a great pitch invasion from the Pools fans at the end!

TalbotAvenger · **Posted:** Sat Jan 03, 2009 9:00 pm

Bit too young to remember that one, but Alan Green did mention the '93 Palace match today and said he has only just thawed out from it!

He also said that it was the first time he had commentated on a game from a garden shed next to the corner flag.

But in 2 years time when you talk to Pools fans there would been 75000 there, because everyone in town would been at the game. Well I WAS

i dont think taypayers post was negative, he was simply pointing out palace were a good premiership side, full of internationals. they played their first team and were clearly up for it.

stoke on the other hand are a glorified champtonship side, played their reserves, and were barely interested.

i can still remember the names of several of the palace players. i couldnt tell you who started for stoke yesterday other than delap.

thats not taking anything away from yesterdays win whatsoever. the question posed was whether it was pools best ever result, and i dont think it was either.

You're right Chip......

Eddie MacGoldDick, Geoff Thomarse and Richard Shaw were the cream of the crap

That game against Man United, didn't Pools lose ? No competition then.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Sun Jan 04, 2009 4:44 pm

Near giantkillers are forgotten the day after their defeat.

Good as that Manchester game was, I could never consider it our best result.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Sun Jan 04, 2009 4:50 pm

It hasn't been forgotten in H'pool, Chip, but I bet you'd be pushed to find anyone else who remembers.

GeoffN · **Posted:** Sun Jan 04, 2009 4:52 pm

Admittedly Stoke didn't field a full strength team - but remember that they also had two players suspended. As for Pools we are clearly down to the bare bones ourselves - a situation made worse when we lost 2 players in the first half hour. So it wasn't our full strength teamn either.

The win over Palace was always tainted by the "was it or wasn't it" penalty incident and overall we were a bit fortunate on the day.

Yesterday we won fairly and squarely - even Pulis had to admit that, and todays papers have been full of praise. So for me, yesterdays result WAS Pools best ever win.

I disagree Mr N, whether or not it was a penalty has never been in doubt. :grin:

Pulis said the first goal was never a free kick.

they played almost as badly, but they also had nigel martyn and chris armstrong in their team, who were england internationals.

chris coleman was the wales centre half at the time and palace were a top 8 premier league side.

i guess there are people who would even say the 4-3 defeat against man united in the 50's was a better result given they were the best side in europe at the time.

Didn't Palace get relegated that season

And lets be fair, the England team then was bobbins, even Donkey Palmer was a first choice.....

Pulis's overall comment was on the lines of "if anything I thought we were the better team in the first half" (doubt) "but once they scored they were better than us" (no doubt)
He also said about the free kick that even if it wasn't deserved we still ought to have defended it.

Perhaps he only read the post-match reaction today? Easy to get behind with the papers like, especially with all them supplements...

Maybe he reads a website ran by that bloke who updates the Pools Rivals board and he's only just got round to putting the match report on today. It was a blatant penalty from where I was!

If anyone seriously thinks Stokes reserve side was anywhere near the quality of that Palace team then your deluded. I wouldnt even put yesterdays win in our top 5 never mind our best ever win. We beat a Championship reserve side effectively.

The lads done great but some of you are going way over the top.

katcha · **Posted:** Mon Jan 05, 2009 8:03 am

championship reserves??

simonsen - maybe but also 8 apps so far this season and a near ever present for the last three seasons
olofinjana - regular and a £3m signing
whelan - regular and full irish cap
soares - eight games, £2m signing - eng u21 cap
pericard - a reserve but a good cv
shawcross - regular u-21 and £2m signing
davies - been injured but will be a regular
tonge - prem regular with sheff ut - £2m signing - sub so far this season
delap - regular
dickinson - res
sonko - another £2m signing

simply pulis put out the best team he had availanle and even kitson or lawrence couldnt change the game when they came on - so you are (ONCE A FOOKIN GAIN ) tree talking out of your well lubed and abused arse

I did the same with their team yesterday katcha and I reckon the squad they had at the Vic is 'worth' about 20 million. Ours is worth about half a million at an absolute push.

I bet they wish they had someone who could whip crosses in as consistently as Matty Robson. Especially as their gameplan is totally reliant on crosses into the box.

As for Pericard I would rather have Kevin Kyle any day - what a donkey...

Well said that man! This was about as good a team as Stoke could put out on the day due to suspensions and injuries. The Pools team was also somewhat makeshift due to injuries added to by the fact that we lost a further 2 players inside 30 minutes.

yeah but the palace team had at least 5 at the time internationals in it, 3 of whom were playing for england.

you can dress it up however much you want to, but that was largely stokes reserve side. even looking at katchas list they had at most 4 of their regular first teamers playing.

thats not to take anything away from a superb result and an excellent pools performance btw. i just dont think it was the best pools result of all time.

though it would make the top 5.

I agree it wasn't as good as the Palace result, Palace were also the form team in the division while Stoke are one of the most out of form teams. However it was still a far stronger and more expensive team than Pools had out and we finished the game missing Sweeney, Brown, Boland and dare I say it Kyle who would normally be four of the first names on the teamsheet.

Tax Paying Poolie · **Joined:** Sat Aug 19, 2006 8:18 am **Posts:** 9053

Did McGoldrick play for Ireland? I'm sure he did.

Surely Stoke didn't have any internationals in their starting XI? I would be staggered if they did.
