    I think loading must surely get a special mention in this thread. Surely this has to be a not606 Southampton match thread record.

    Technically not as the 24 games record from 1896/97 is league games only so we need the games mentioned in the post you quoted.

    Think this is already a club record for all comps.

    Just checked and the 1896/97 side went 21 games unbeaten before losing an FA Cup Match

    Huddersfield (H)
    Bristol City (A)
    WBA (A)
    Hull (H)

    Avoiding defeat in all of the above to take us to 25 league games unbeaten, exceeding the all time league club record of 24 games. Is that right Libby? You're my go to on this!

    Yep I believe so. I cocked up my earlier post as I had Wba to beat but that will be the equalling game.

    23 unbeaten currently including two cup matches meaning we're 3 games short of equalling the record.

    Incredibly confusing all this winning!

    Well you've overtaken ipswich. One of their posters is blaming their collapse on our game at Portman Rd. Apparently when the rot set in. Good luck Saints - and Russell!

    Jesus that’s pretty impressive. Were those the Leroy Lita and Kitson days?!

    Nah Lita and Kitson was longer ago I think. The year after we were relegated from PL first time.

    Adam le Fondre is the one I remember from that season they beat us.
