Breaking records/stats thread

When's the last time we won the first five away league games in a top flight season? Don't think we managed it in our recent title winning seasons.

It’s the first time we’ve won 6 away games on the trot in the Premierleague including last seasons victory over Watford

Not a record or anything but we have 4 players in the top ten scoring charts,and 5 in assists in the top ten as it stands in the premier league still early days of course,but a very good sign..

Before the game I posted this saying it would be an all time record:

#MCFC club records that could be equalled or beaten today at WBA:

Most away wins in a row in League: 6, 7 March – 26 September 1903. If we win at WBA we will have equalled this (currently on 5 including Watford on last day of last season).

Most wins in a row - all competitions: The current run/record is 12 and a win today would take the sequence to 13.

Most career first team goals - 177 Aguero has equalled Brook's record. A goal today and he's the all-time greatest City scorer with a goals to game ratio that eclipses all others.

Most games without defeat all competitions: currently on 20 (since FAC semi defeat v Arsenal). In 24 Nov 2013- 29 Jan 2014 we went 20 games in all comps without defeat. This may well be the record. It eclipses the runs around 1937 & 1947. Whatever happens if we don't lose today we will have passed the run from 2013-2014.

EDIT: Note-on the sequence debate from the other day. I've had confirmation from Sky and the key men behind the Nationwide Football Annual that they believe that City's current record is bona fide and they consider it the record. The Football Annual is the most historic of all football annuals and has been perceived since the 19th century as the official record of football. The Sky Sports annual is another official record. This means the most authoritative record sources view this rightly as a winning sequence that is now MCFC's record.

I wonder if Marvin has withdrawn his request to the Guiness Book of Records?

I'll update if and when they reply.

Seems most observers are regarding the Wolves win on pens as a continuation of the run.

Amassing points and winning trophies is what it's all about, but achievements are logged in the record books so it would be good if this team could set new standards.

Is def something I'm keeping in mind. I thought we'd piss the league that season. Think we won away at QPR about 10th, 11th game. We weren't at our best but just scored again whenever they got one. And I walked out that day & just thought no way anyone could finish above us.
Shit, we were pretty much out of the title race on Easter Monday (well, not quite out of it!).

Very true. I think we will win the league but United will run us v.close. There seems to be similarities between this United team and their 11/12 counterpart. Both are efficient rather than exciting. I remember that run by United around the new year 2012 - they just seemed to be able to grind out 1-0s, 2-0s and 2-1s. Think this year is shaping up to be very similar.

If they beat Chelsea. otherwise it's shaping up to be a season in which City dominate. Unfortunate we play Arsenal after our most difficult Champions League away game.

Except this time our best midfielder isn't going to the African nations (like Yaya did) and no sign of Aguero or Jesus going on strike (like Tevez). Honestly, going to be one of the greatest seasons!

2003 is when Opta started counting it as a stat.

Is the Wolves win is considered a Win or a Draw ??
SO WE achieved 11 consecutive win or 12 ??
