Seems every week we are setting new benchmarks

Yet the Dippers ''records'' get mentioned all the time....funny that isn't it.

Well to be fair Carl, The Beatles were pretty good. "Here come old flat-top" ...

Of the 23 Academy players to have made their debut for us in the past decade who are no longer at the club, 10 are currently at clubs in Europe's top 5 leagues, and 2 have retired for non-sporting reasons (Wabara to concentrate on business and Helan to concentrate on religion).

You hooked me BiB!!!
Who are the other 5 Academicals who've played for us in the league before moving on to top clubs then?

12 consecutive away wins which is a record for a top flight English team.

Another record.

19 top flight games without being behind for a single minute. Equalling Arsenals achievement in 1999.

Relentless

Oh, and of course we have now equalled our club record of 28 games unbeaten

And the team in 2nd are no longer top scorers.

Some of the stuff we love on here but seeing Mancini’s smile on JC’s account is pure joy.

Nice. But how many of theirs were dodgy goals or playing against 9 men.

How they tried to crow about that is unbelievable.

Shit. Can't find it now but as far as making it as a professional player our Academy is among the 10 most productive in Europe. Saw the list while back.

Making it in professional game is what every academy player aims to do and in general the aim of the Academy. To actually make it with team like City is impossibly hard task even for players from superduperelite Academy like ours.

It’s noted in the BBC’s match report on last night’s game that City haven’t lost a midweek PL game since our defeat against Spurs in May 2010.

Ederson has provided more Premier League assists at home in 2021 than all Liverpool players combined.

Before yesterday's game MOTD said Leicester had the best away record in the league, having lost only one. We also have lost only one and also drawn 3 as opposed to their 4. ?????

They've played 2 more games than us away, so have 34 points to our 30. But they can't let context get in the way of their narrative...

Saw a stat today I was surprised about. Since we won the PL the first time around we have finished second three times after winning and first again once
The rags finished 7th
Chelsea finished 5th and 10th
Leicester finished 12th
Dippers are currently in 7th

That is some level of consistency and when the likes of Neville and Carragher and Owen and Hinchcliff and Ferdinand et all go on about the best teams retain the trophy, well we are the only ones to have done so in a long time and even put a challenge in. To date, no team other than us has even finished top 4 after winning the PL.

If that doesn’t show winning mentality and high level consistency then nothing will

according to BT it is the first time in football history two central defenders have scored more than they have conceded 6 -5

Kun and Jesus have started 13 games together and have scored 24 goals
15 for Kun and 9 for Jesus.
Some going that is
