This has been mentioned on the Southampton board.

They have 19 straight home wins now in a row & good luck to them as when you get talking to them they are a canny bunch.

Anyhow, I asked if anyone had ever gone a whole season with a 100% win at home record.

Apparently, we were the first side to do it, albeit back in 1891-92 season.

I think that was even before Syd's time.

LOL.
 
Oh aye, nearly forgot.

We are the only side to do it in England's top division.
 
in the promotion season 1976 from the second division to the first division we won all but 2 games and they were daws to the 2 bristol sides <bubbly>
 
What's a win?? I haven't seen one yet this season - missed the Stoke game cos of the Great North Run and away games are too many pennies for me to attend!

Obviously it doesn't count then. :emoticon-0105-wink:
 
Man Utd dropped 2 points at Old Trafford last year, I think they drew with West Brom of all teams.
 
100% home win record in a season:

Sunderland (13 games; First Division, 1891&#8211;92)
Liverpool (14 games; Second Division, 1893&#8211;94)
Bury (15 games; Second Division, 1894&#8211;95)
Sheffield Wednesday (17 games; Second Division, 1899&#8211;1900)
Small Heath (17 games; Second Division, 1902&#8211;03)
Brentford (21 games; Third Division South, 1929&#8211;30)

well done not many done it

and only 2 teams have went the whole season unbeaten

Fewest losses: 0, joint record:

Preston North End (First Division, 1888&#8211;89; final record P22 W18 D4 L0) Preston were also unbeaten in the FA Cup
Arsenal (Premier League, 2003&#8211;04; final record P38 W26 D12 L0)
 
Southampton need to win their next 6 home games to break the record for consecutive home wins which was set by Bradford Park Avenue in 1926-27 season.

The way they are playing at home this is a distinct possibility. Might pop down the bookies in the morning to see what odds are on offer for that.

May well be worth a daft fiver.

That's why they have 'INVINCIBLE' on their club badge. To me, that's the proudfest club badge in the world because it was earned on the pitch..

some good crack on here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_records_in_England
 
Aye but as I said in post number 12, Bradford Park Avenue have the record for consecutive HOME wins, 24.

Southamptons next 6 home games are all very winnable & if they do they will break the record.

Dunno what odds the bookies are offering but it should be canny.

Mind you if I stick the bet on I'll probably jinx the poor ****ers.

Edit: Next 6 home games,

Brighton
Hull
Blackpool
Bristol C
Leicester
Cardiff.
