Our record in London Derbies

Nicholas

Does anyone know when we last won an away London derby in the league?

AFKABartram

Brentford a couple of years ago when Sanogo was on loan

Nicholas

Was that the relegation season?

palarsehater

After commenting on it on I looked it up was Sanogo against Brentford to which we was pretty much relegated anyway

palarsehater

Since then we’ve lost to gillingham and Wimbledon Millwall and drawn against vikki yak and Wimbledon

Didn't we go unbeaten in London derbies in the Prem one year? Or at least close to it?

It was about 13 games. The Standard ran an article on it headed "Derby Kings".

Now we are Derby Queens

Yes, I recall them running a 'London League' and we were top for a significant period of the season(s).

If you look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_London_derby we are by far the worst, would take 100+ years to get level with Millwall

That really is grim reading. Of our last 19 games against the Spanners, we have won only two.

Shocking stats, our record in all South London derbies is awful.

We only have two derbies!

And we’re varying degrees of shit in both.

Three if Wimbledon is included. Our record in these games is truly shocking.

CAFCTrev

It is very bizarre, its not like weve been putting the same team out over the years in these games.

Even in the worlds most fiercely contested derbies, there is normally only a swing of 5 or 6 games at best. If its a derby that happens regularly or even semi-regularly the win ratio stats will always end up fairly even if both teams have been playing at the same level, and therefore have always had similar quality players.

It would take 8 or 9 seasons of constant wins against millwall to even that out.

Briston_Addick

We could have a season where we could be known as BarcaMadrid City, such was our dominance; Millwall could be having the worse season of all time, getting battered week after week after week.

Our season record would be P46 W44 L2, the Spanners P46 W2 L44 ... and we all know what those two matches would be.

Mental that the Ricky Holmes winner in October was our first South London Derby win since 2009!!

Still I much prefer the fact that our History shows we've been in a higher Division for longer in our history than any of the others

Gillingham isn't a derby match. Next you'll be saying Watford and Southend are derby's.

Wouldn't class Wimbledon as a derby. The South London derbies are Us, Palace and Millwall.

Additional rivals are perhaps West Ham and Gillingham, but that's really it.
