No proper footie til Friday, so for the sake of summat to do thought I'd dive into some of our longest runs against other teams.

Starting with the good stuff - our longest winning runs including both home and away, all competitions.

Our record is 8 wins on the bounce. We've done that against 3 different teams. There's 2 further teams we've won 7 on the bounce, and a further 3 we've won 6 consecutive games.

So without cheating, can anyone guess the 8 teams we've had our best winning runs against. Unlimited imaginary prizes available for best guesses.

I'd say some of Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea to add to Man U. We stopped upsetting the big guns in those last 5 premier league seasons

Chelsea's been done (currently our longest ever winless run against anyone ... ever)

Not Arsenal - beat them in our last but one home game. Lousy run away though.

Liverpool not in there either - beat them in our last premier league meeting.

 

The egg chasers from up the road ?

 

Getting depressing this thread now.

Don't remember us beating Preston since the Cardiff final, but not sure how many games are in that period.

Fair point, I see the error of my ways.

And yes, 8 win-less against them 🫣

We've not, and we've played them six times since but they don't quite make the list.

That's Man U, Chelsea, t'other lot so far.

Four to go. Only one a current prem team (but not a giant).

Middlesboro

Good call!

Not beat them in the last 11. Crazy given we've still got a decent record against them overall. Must have been a bit of a bogey team for them - before they became a bogey team for us.

Three to go.

Sheff Wednesday?

Not beat Brentford in the last 7 matches. We've got a shit head to head record against them considering our relative histories.

Chelsea - 19 games

Middlesbrough - 11

?????? - 10

Man U - 9

Wigan - 8

Sheff Wed - 7
