    Yep. It's now four games without conceding a single goal <ok>

    I think NOF's comment was more about the implication that the ref could somehow influence the number of goals conceded. Can't say I remember him making many fingertip saves or goal line clearances in our games vs Everton...

    It's a shame Halsey had to ruin his run by reffing Liverpool's victory in the FA Cup last year. He was only three games shy of Atkinson's record of 21 games in a row unbeaten for Chelsea.

    Nope. It is called a newspaper headline.

    They are designed to draw the reader in.

    Man united haven't lost for nearly ten years (not including Cup ties) etc.....does not have quite the same ring to it

    Yep it's a shame telling stories accurately rarely has the same ring as sensationalism.
