Still, this saves me some time - this poster shows such an outstanding level of ignorance that it's not worth the effort of shooting down his misconceptions about standing areas at Scunny.

there used be a website on http://www.13inarow.com which now redirects to something else.

If we win the final 5 then http://www.12inarow.com should perhaps be born...

As a slight aside - I know the 13 wins in a row is an English record for the start of a season, but is it also a record for any part of the season (including winning runs across two seasons)? If not, what is the record?

Wrong. Drew the 14th against Wolves 2-2, then went on to lose to Bury.

Spurs hold that record with 14. Not sure when it was set though.

Thought you;d know :lol:

Assuming that the Spurs run was a while back, it's nice to see wikipedia also see football as starting in 1992:

Premier League

14 games — Arsenal F.C.

Streak started February 10, 2002
Streak ended August 18, 2002

IIRC, after the Bury game we lost 0-2 to Darlington with Darlington's goals being own goals from Hicks and Senior. I know that everyone thinks that their club is special for finding strange ways of screwing things up, but going from 13 wins in a row to losing by 2 OGs a few games later strikes me as an amusing way to go about things.

Now found the following:

In English football four teams share the record of 14 consecutive wins:

- Manchester United 1904-05 – Second division
- Bristol City 1905-06 – Second division
- Preston North End 1950-51 – Second division
- Arsenal 2001-02/2002-03 – Premier league

No sign of Spurs there - is handbags' football knowledge being challenged? :shock:

I thought that we took the record for wins from the start of a season from Spurs (who had the record of 11 wins). Perhaps that's the confusion, if handbags is incorrect (as to which I don't know).
