They play each other at the start of October (11th game i think) - will be over for one of them (if not both) after that.

[Stranded]

Yep, game 12 for both clubs.

This must be a record watch. Some say it is bigger than the clockface of the Palace of Westminster, commonly and inaccurately referred to as Big Ben.

You're right. That must be the biggest Mickey Mouse ever produced.

[Silver Fox]

Less games in the books but Chelsea, Citeh and Tottingham are all still unblemished in the Prem

Hasn't it got four clockfaces?

Plus Big Ben is easily acceptable in common usage to refer to the tower itself. Overall, not loving that post ^^^

I have ammended, above, and hope that in its ammended form it is more to your taste and equally I hope that the factual inaccuracies* didn't detract from the record watch double-meaning RFC-themed gag, which I am sure you will agree was hilarious.

*Isn't Big Ben just the bell anyway?

[cmonurz]

Right.

13 wins-watch

Chelsea's 6th straight win in the bag, 3-0 up at home to Spurs. Wigan, Liverpool and Villa in their next three, and I expect them to drop points somewhere there.

No-one else in the football league left with a 100% record.

106 points-watch

Teams with better than 2.304 points per game (106-point season)

West Brom - 20 points from 8 games (2.50 ppg)
Newcastle - 19 points from 8 games (2.38 ppg)
Leeds - 22 points from 8 games (2.75 ppg)
Charlton - 20 points from 8 games (2.50 ppg)
Bournemouth - 21 points from 8 games (2.63 ppg)
Dagenham & Redbridge - 19 points from 8 games (2.38 ppg)

Additional teams with better than 2.125 points per game (RFC's ppg after 8 games in 2005-06)

Bristol Rovers - 18 points from 8 games (2.25 ppg)

[Steve T]

It's over.

[cmonurz]

Update on 106...

Only Leeds, with 42 points from 17 games (2.47 ppg) are ahead of the 'required rate' of 2.30 ppg. Newcastle and West Brom the only other teams in the football league with an average greater than 2.00 ppg.

Reading had 38 points (11 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat) after 17 games, and 41 points after 18 games. Again, only Leeds are ahead of Reading's record at this stage of the season.

[brendywendy]

surely it only counts in the 2nd tier?

[cmonurz]

106 points is the English league record, is it not?

[1871 Royal]

Yes it is, if Leeds were to get it we could still say that we have the most points record in the top 2 divisions

[Tony Le Mesmer]

have to admit im keeping an eye on Leeds. of all the teams to break it, not them please. Albeit in a lower divison.

I am right in thinking that, in the 2 points for a win days, another team has beaten the equivalent of 106?

No you are completely wrong.

i thought Lincoln had a better record, but im not arguing with 'The Cube'.

Edit:

Lincoln had a 32 10 4 record for 74 points, the equivalent of 106. So yes, i am completely wrong that they bettered it.

Sod the points total. We did it by losing a mere two games. Lincoln lost four. So we're better than them

1 defeat in 46, spread over the Championship AND the Prem. Sounds better.
