Oldham Athletic - The Greatest Escape in Premier League History

[@tlw2209]

Absolutely devastated with what going on with Oldham Athletic now 115 years of glory and final day escapes now a None League side I feel for the club and the supporters Oldham will be back 🔵⚽️

115 years of glory. Really? They will be back though.

[@Paul-eb4jp]

Not any time soon.

I was at the Southampton game, last game of the season. Lost all my fingernails in the last 15 mins, and a few tears spent after the final whistle. The Boys in Blue.....what a team!!

[@simonpalling3215]

Bit my nails down to the knuckles, that season..... but wouldn't have missed any of it out, given my time over again. Gets better every time I watch it again, but still biting my nails!!

[@kevinprior3549]

Who?

[@pipelinecenter]

I was at all three games. Incredible times!

[@kevinprior3549]

Oldham are now in the comference. Talk about a fall from grace.

[@simonpalling3215]

Bloody hell!! Forty years ago, and it feels like yesterday. God, I wish todays OAFC had a tenth of the belief the lads had back in the golden olden days.

[@legsian]

what an awesome week that was, oh to be anywhere near that standard now, cant see it somehow.

[@AussieGunzel]

Seeing what Luton town did I'm sure Oldham can return to the premier league someday.

Not a patch on Leicester in 2015. 7 wins and a draw in the last 9 games.

[@pressureworks]

And now ? Oldham with a few other former top flight clubs in League 2.

No West Brom’s was better

[@stoptheworldiwanttogetoff9923]

Well lets look at the stats for each teams great escape shall we. West Brom- Won 6 of 38 games played, a win percentage of 15.78%, averaging 0.89 points per game, goals for 36, against 61, difference -25 Highest placed side beat Everton (4th), second highest Bolton (6th) Oldham - Won 13 of 42 games played, a win percentage of 30.95%, averaging 1.16points per game, goals for 63, against 74, difference -11. Highest placed side beat Man.Utd. (1st), second highest Aston Villa (2nd). West Brom were the best of 4 awful teams that averaged less than a goal and point for every game they played. If Oldham had had such a poor win percentage as Albion , we would have been down by Mid February '93.
