Fair enough, my bold claim of thinking Burnley must be close is 10 consecutive, one draw spoils what would have also been a 15 win streak lol

Fifteen straight wins v rags or dippers would be nice.

It's the record for the football league (all comps), not just the PL which is possibly more remarkable. 58 goals for, 8 against.

Now on our longest unbeaten run of away games in the PL (16 games). And Fern is our oldest scorer in the PL (37 on wednesday).

31 goals from 4 City teams in less than 24 hours. Is this a record?

City have also scored 11 goals against a single PL opponent in the same season - Leeds. I think this might be a record, can somebody check?

It was on the BBC website yesterday afternoon.
When City were winning 3-0 it stated that it was the biggest aggregate home and away score that LEEDS had conceded since Stoke City had got 10 goals against them in 1935.
So the 4th goal meant that City now hold the biggest aggregate score that LEEDS have conceded in a season.

City have kept a clean sheet in each of their last five games on the road - a new Club record.
I like this one:
City have completed a first league double over Leeds since 1981-82, a season that saw the Whites relegated from the top-flight. If only history could repeat itself!

The first one bodes well given our 2 hardest games left are away from home.
Is it a record for us in PL or an all league record?

Surely 9 different goal scorers against the same club in one season is a record?

KDB (x2)
Mahrez
Stones
Ake (x2)
Rodri
Jesus
Fernandinho
All scored against Leeds this season.

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. :-)

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.

Mental that thats the team that holds the record. As Fergie once said 'a lot of draws'.
Still mad given how shit they were.
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.

Is it that we aren't sufficiently pragmatic enough to get the unbeaten records?
We simply try and win EVERY game sometimes to our own downfall. Good extended runs for us unbeaten stem from the same reason.
I think !

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
