St Beneathus Day | 2025 edition (pg31)

One for the stattos

Is this the longest ever period of consistently finishing above the rags?

What's the record period for them finishing above us every season?
 
I am struggling to celebrate this year as it stands - I hate to be a party pooper (just call me Scrooge)
It's wonderful that yet again we've finished above them - but, like the ghost of Marley, there's that horrible end of season scenario that we don't want to talk about :(.
My dream is a win Tuesday and Athletic reaming the fuckers at the start of May - then I can start to relax :D

It's definitely our longest run. Previous best is nine which has happened twice - once in the 1920s and 30s that culminated with us winning the title in 1936-37 and another that began when Queen Victoria was around and the rags were still called Newton Heath.
As @East Level 2 suggested, their longest run is the 20 seasons that ended in 2010-11. That was actually the final 20 seasons of a 33 year run when they finished above us 32 times - broken only by Peter Reid's team finishing fifth in 1991, one place above them.

Just watched Athletico put up a rear guard action against Real, nearly managed it but for a brilliant injury time strike.
No way are the rags getting past them, I'd be surprised if they even scored a goal over the 2 legs.

Some top City geeking in there mate! Great post.
 
Does anyone have access to an image AI service.

I'd like to see a mock up of Tevez as an old monk. Or maybe Steve Lomas? Can't decide.

It's mad how relatively shite we've been and yet they are so much worse.

Yer wouldn't know, though, if you concentrated on the outpourings of the RDAHMeedya. Every silver ilining is inflated beyond recognistion, every academy players who kicks a ball at The Swamp is the reincarnation of Duncan Edwards, and Amorim is just a couple of games from emulating the very best of Our Matt and the GPC. It must be the most galling time to be a Rag-infested hack. The Emperor's New Clothes refitted before every kick off!
