Best start to a season record

[Mark]

I'm just curious as to what the record is for the best start to a league season now. Last season we broke the previous record which was 29, held by Liverpool originally I believe, and then we went on to finish the season unbeaten. Does not losing a game all season in all of the 38 games count as a start? Or is 37 the best start or what? If anyone knows, please let me know as I have absolutely no idea. Cheers.

I would imagine that they from now on will consider it as one record - at least until the Premiership some day may expand and it might be possible to go like 42 matches in a season undefeated. However, I can't really see that happening..

 

[Mark]

Nah if anything the Prem season will become shorter than it is now.

I'm just curious as to whether they see the whole 38 games as a start, because it isn't really. The season ended, we couldn't continue the 'start' any further.

i believe that one entire season is as far as a "start of the season" can go... after that, it is just "unbeaten run" which is where we are now....

 

[Ally]

So in short, there now can be no 'start to the season' record?

We've abolished it, for want of a better word?

Sweet! ;D

 

[Mark]

Haha. I understand now. That's excellent!

 

[Ally]

What a fantastic question that was mate, haha, something that hadn't crossed me mind til now.


Quality stuff.

Arsenal FC - we don't only break records, we make them completely obsolete and make it technically impossible for a record that has been recognised for as long as Premiership football has be played, to continue! Haha!

See, this is what happens when Arsène manages your football club.

Well there could be a new "perfect" start to the season record. Seeing as we're already 4 for 4, does anyone know the longest a team has gone before dropping points?

 

[Jinn]

Yeah you can still have a better start to the season. Like winning every game and then losing the last one.

Best start ≠ undefeated season.

Last season we went four games, but i dont have a clue if anybody has been further than that.

 

[USArsenal]

like Jinn said, the only thing that can be done is more wins and no draws.... which is SO not likely to happen... so far, Chelski and us are 4-0-0.. lets see who flinches first....

I would have considered the best 'start' to being consecutive wins, which I belive is 10

 

[burnsjed]

which is in the old 1st Divison, and you would be amazed who holds that!

Please dont say its Sp**s??

I'm going for QPR!!!

 

[burnsjed]

[burnsjed]

I apologise for not being very p.c

 

[Loylz]

Noo. What about in the Premiership?

 

[burnsjed]

Not sure in the prem, is it Liverpool or Newcastle, I don't believe it is Man U
