I love that Fernie is our oldest scorer. It was Lampard wasn’t it? He will always be associated primarily with Chelsea whereas, for me, Fernandinho is truly ours! Just my quirky nature. :-)
I'd noticed!
Just for us. Off the top of my head, the Arsenal invincibles side in 2003/04 obviously went 19 consecutive away games unbeaten. And that's not counting whatever they managed at the back end of the previous campaign, or the start of the next.
Ahh but that record , which was clearly only down to the players and their manager… did at least keep Ole in charge. So , among the few remaining records that united still hold, it’s worth it.
It was a freakish run. Even if there were a lot of draws (and I can't remember the exact breakdown of that run), to go the equivalent of a season and a half without an away defeat defies logic, given the mediocrity of that squad.
The thing about their away record was how journos used to say unbeaten for 18 months- not mentioning 4 / 5 months was lockdown with no games played
