Afraid not, Chelsea won the Cup Winners Cup in that same stadium in 1971, after knocking us (the holders) out in the semi-final.

Was told tonight that we have now scored in 30 consecutive games V Newcastle, which is a record for one Club against another.

Yep, in the Premier League (we lost 2-0 in the League Cup in 2014). Unbelievable record.

We also failed to win the Auto Windscreens Shield in 1999.
Thank God.

It was never going to be easy against the mighty Mansfield Town.

Best (most dominant) teams of all time. Our rating is now so high that it’s difficult to earn more than 2 elo points for a win, a draw would drop us by about 8 points and a defeat would be about a 15 point drop. Only PL and European matches count. We can also win/lose points from how other PL clubs fair in Europe (about 27% of their match total elo points) Can we catch any of the top three before our run ends? Beating Forest, Wolves and Leipzig would probably get us 3rd.
p.s. Pep looks to be the difference. He can’t leave until we are No 1….it’s only fair or he has short changed us ;-)
p.p.s We would be third now had we avoided defeat to Brentford and second had we beaten them.
