Much like when we took a few hundred down to Cheltenham in the same competition thinking we’d never play them in a league game 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the last time they lost was the season prior to the September 2017 match. Say, for simplicity, September 2016. That being, approx. 5 years before last nights. So "a 5 year reign". Simple enough.

Youri McAnespie Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) So Bolton Wanderers are now enjoying thirteen and a half year reign unbeaten in Europe? Rocky Marciano's Ghost is unbeaten in sixty odd years... Zaire are enjoying a near fifty year unbeaten World Cup reign. They (Emirates) were knocked out. The meter only started running again when they re-entered the competition (17th September 2017). FACT.

Youri McAnespie Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Alreet, you're right. City's unbeaten five year 'reign' began the minute the final whistle went on their defeat at the hands of The Filth on the 26th October 2016. Utter bollocks.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted October 29, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 29, 2021 I’m with Youri here. Their reign, or winning streak starts at the first win, not the last loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted October 29, 2021 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2021 their reign and "winning streak" are two different things as well their reign begins when they win a trophy the "winning streak" starts after their last loss i put it in quotes because they've drawn games that have gone to pens and also lost two leggged ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) I beg to differ again. A 'winning streak' cannot start with a loss, it's oxymoronical. 'Unbeaten' is debatable, but definitely not the above ^. In a league maybe going back to the last loss can be shoehorned into some kind of 'run' - but nothing that intimates it's a 'winning' or (imo) an 'unbeaten' one. In a knockout comp it's totally different, ANY positive run after being eliminated only begins when one rejoins the competition (or, barely justifiably, when the competition restarts)... When Romania beat England in the group stages in Toulouse during France '98 you didn't have John Motson bemoaning: "And with the final whistle there goes England's near Eight year unbeaten reign in World Cup Finals stretching back to that cruel defeat to West Germany on penalties in Turin..." I think the good Dr. is being obtuse because he's still got the hump from when I compared Maddison to a chocolate bar.
