Biggest title winning margin 2017-18 by 19 points over...errrm...the name escapes me at the moment
Narrowest title winning margin 2011-12 by zero points and better GD of 8 goals over...errr, sorry, again not sure, must have been some insignificant team.

1925-26, City were relegated with the highest number of goals scored by a relegated team in history (89).

1937-38, City were relegated as champions having scored the most goals in the league that season (80).

So we just need to insert First Division / Premier League and Ken's record stands ;)

Coventry City took 47,000 for the Checkertrade final v Oxford the other year

Portsmouth had sold 50,000 tickets against Salford for this seasons final but it was never played

I guess City are the only team to score 95+ league goals 3 seasons in a row.

For comparison, rags have done it only once in the PL. Liverpool and Chelsea as well (just once)?

Last team to win the 1st division with an all English line up?

Almost all English, I think Scotsman Kennedy played 4 games.

Apparently we hold the Premier League record for the quickest team to lead 5-0, which we did in 18 minutes v Watford earlier this season.

Aye, typical City.

Let them off with an 8-0 defeat!

Well you learn something new every day as they say. I never knew that the 6th round no longer exists,it is officially the quarter - final (even though everybody has used the term quarter-final for around the last 100 years).
A very quirky fact indeed.

Quirky Facts Matter

When we beat Burnley 6-1 at their place in 2010 we were 3 up after 7 minutes which was a PL record at the time and probably still is, unless we've broken it ourselves since.

I'd check for dog shit first! Especially up near Broadhurst Park ;)

There is a football stadium on Broadhurst Park now.
I used to walk my dog on Broadhurst Fields and watch Sunday League football back in the 90s .
(My 3 girls all went to Moston Fields primary and then NMHSG ).

The 3 hatricks is the last time it's been done but not the first.

Triple hat-tricks have been done 3 times in the League and twice in the FAC:

1909 West, Hooper & Spouncer for Forest V Leicester (Division One)
1915 Carr, Elliott &Tinsley for Middlesbrough v Goole(FAC)
1960 Allen, Smith & Jones for Spurs v Crewe (FAC - that day Allen scored 5 and Smith 4)
1962 Barnes, Wyn Davies & Ambler for Wrexham v Hartlepool (Div 4)
1987 Adcock, White & Stewart for City v Huddersfield (Div 2)

It has not been done since.

Shit loads more in here

City were the first English team to play a “European” fixture when we were invited to Germany the play a select German league XI when we were champions in 1937.

Our players also refused to do the Nazi salute before the game, which created diplomatic issues.

Funnily enough the England national side complied and did it.
