15 consecutive away wins in all competitions now. Without checking back (too lazy!), did we manage that in the Centurions' season?

That’s an all-time English football record (all four divisions).

I was looking at the league fixtures prior to the Carabao Cup Final

We have 2 and the rags have 3

Should we win both, and they lose one (most likely one against Spurs)

We would then have 80 points after 33 games, and they 63 points after 32 games.

This would mean if they drew with Leeds on the 25th April, that would mean we were Champions. If we then beat Spurs, then that would be 2 trophies on the same day.

Has this ever been done before?

Extremely doubtful, League Cup has always been far too early and the FA Cup has been after the regular league season finished on all but a few occasions (things like European finals being held at Wembley and the London Olympics). When you couple that with how few seasons historically have seen teams win more than one trophy the odds on it are astronomical.

Another first for City then

Never been done before... and it would be fucking brilliant!

Such an INCREDIBLE run and yet football is such a harsh game that one slip of a player in a moment of a game e.g now on CL and an away goal might destroy all our CL hopes, another slip in FA/ Carabao semifinal/final and we might not win them despite the out of this world run.

Football is not fair unfortunately, but thankfully probabilities are with us in every game. Except ok maybe in CL against Bayern.


PS: What is a DRAW? :)

Not only brilliant but bizarre as well :)

We'd find out we were champions immediately before kick-off.
Leeds v United game is 2.00pm K-O and CC Final K-O 4pm.

No time for the team to celebrate as straight into the CL S-F 2/3 days later (if we beat Dortmund).

View attachment 13681

It's 26 wins and 1 loss. Still an extraodinary run :)

12 goals against in 27 games is fantastic. If you go back another 7 games to the loss at spurs we only conceded 1 goal in those 7 games.

So 13 goals against in last 34 games. Simply incredible.

The record for consecutive PL away wins is 11 held by us and Chelsea.

Chelsea (Apr 2008 - Dec 2008)
City (May 2017 - Dec 2017)

We're currently on 9 and need 3 more to break the record.

Southampton 0-1
Chelsea 1-3
West Brom 0-5
Burnley 0-2
Liverpool 1-4
Everton 1-3
Arsenal 0-1
Fulham 0-3
Leicester 0-2
Aston Villa
Crystal Palace
Newcastle

Looking at our next three away fixtures, we've got a great chance.

Potentially another away record to add to that.
Fewest goals conceded away from home in a season is 9 by Chelsea in 14/15
We are on 8 at the moment so a chance we could beat or equal.
