Pardew's comments in the Watford post match interview that we play on the margins which means we usually either win or lose tight games got me thinking about how few draws we have had. Not only have we had none this season, I read somewhere that under Pardew we have only had one draw in 29 games. This was against Newcastle quite early in his tenure.
I have just done a bit of research and notice that our win at Watford is our 20th league game in a row without a draw. (11 wins & 9 losses). This is a remarkable statistic and I wondered if it might be some sort of record but I then remembered that Man City had gone on a long winning streak until their recent defeat to West Ham. City have in fact gone 21 games since a 1-1 draw against Hull on the 7th February.
I doubt very much there have been many times in league history that even one club has gone on a run of 20 games without a draw let alone two teams in the same division. For example only Burton Albion have yet to draw this season outside of the Premier League! It will be interesting to monitor both City & Palace in the next few games to see how long either can continue to go without a draw and even see if some sort of record is set.
