Best unbeaten record since 1979...........ermm i beg to differ.....

[Tnewton_1988]

The media has mentioned that Forest are on the best unbeaten spell since 1979 but what about The 25 Match unbeaten spell in 1995?
Also i believe the record below escaped the memory of some Forest fans

QPR away 1-1
Spurs home 2-2
Everton Home 2-1
Leicester away 4-2
Southampton Home 3-0
Leeds Home 3-0
Sheff Wed away 7-1
West Ham Home 1-1
Norwich away 1-0
Coventry home 2-0
Crystal Palace away 2-1
Man City Home 1-0
Wimbledon away 2-2

it was stated as fact on the daily fail website so i wrote a comment and it's disappeared now.

by the way i think the mistake is due to the fact the 1995 record was split over two seasons

7-0 that's what you call coming to a grinding halt is that the game when crossley caught the ball but sort of rolled over the line with it ?

No when Crossley did that it was in the 1st Prem season of 1992/1993

But the 42 matches unbeaten with Cloughie's great side was a record that went over 2 seasons

 

[RICH1977]

was also a premeier league record at the time aswell.

that's it , 4-1 i think ( i try not to remember the heavy defeats too clearly )

i know, i pointed that out too. but the 42 match run was a league record for nearly 25 years so it sticks in the memory somewhat

i notice itv repeated this myth again this evening.

the national media are a bloody embarrassment

 

[Ravi]

Am I right in thinking that the 42 game record and the 25 game record are for league games only.
The current record is for consecutive games (including cup) unbeaten.

 

[Jonathan]

I also think they're meaning that it's a record for going unbeaten in a single season rather than our best ever but they're not expressing it properly.
