Just saw this on facebook. One to rival the holocaust...  Here's the results off wiki. We got two points away all season, by beating the equally-bad Notts 3-0. Preston the original invincibles...  |

Suprised they got the ‘City’ bit wrong when they remembered not to include the ‘Stanley” bit for Accrington.

Incidentally I wonder why Forest weren't a founder member? Given how they chirp on about being older than us.. Also worth noting we'd have finished above Notts under GD rather than goal average! (but not under 3 pts for a win...) |

We’ve been done by the authorities again, I reckon. Our Goal Difference is better than Nott’s. Scandalous! 😉

Weren’t our shorts black? I’m certain that we didn’t play in red and white for several years into the 20th century after this.

If you were to mark all these clubs on a map & then draw a circle around them, it becomes pretty obvious that Stoke City are at the centre of the footballing world.

Preston the original invincibles... 3 points for a win we'd have got 16 points which pro-rata for 42 games is 30.54. Nowhere near as bad as 17 |

We were of course not officially a City until 1925. The people who publish these things are probably the same ones who think we still play at the Britannia Stadium. |

I still believe that the goal Wolves scored to beat us was offside!

I still believe that the goal Wolves scored to beat us was offside! I was in line with it (long story but I only missed 2 games that season, typically one was the away win at Notts). Miles offside, the liner was cleaning his pipe at the time and didn’t see it. |

we lost 2-0 on opening day and we've never had a net positive GD ever since

Is it true that those clubs were only picked because they all had railway stations close to the grounds?
