I really want them to beat Liverpool and Leeds and another sides (Burnley?) joint record of 29 unbeaten from the start of the season. 1 because it means they have a good chance of stopping the shyte from winning the league again and 2 the media may have to grudgingly mention that its us who prevented Leeds from claiming it outright.
They may get all nostalgic and be forced refer to a club no longer in the higher echelons of the game and give us a little bit of publicity. The fact that in 1974 we had a fine team and beating the champions elect wasn't too much of a shock will be lost on them of course!

Wouldn't put any money on it Joe.  I am sure that the last time it was mentioned in the media, 2 or 3 years ago, the credit for ending Leeds run was given to Liverpool!  |

I remember Liverpool reaching 29 in 1988 and the word Stoke wasn't mentioned. Daft really because it was a momentous game and the footage of it on the history of stoke City video is one of the best pieces of the tape. Others would enjoy it too.

I thougth Nottingham Forest held the longest unbeaten run, 48? maybe that was over 2 seasons.

Forest have the record which is 42 but that stretched from one season into the next. It ended at Liverpool.
