Pardew and Co on the verge of history

There has been fantastically buoyant mood amongst NUFC fans for obvious reasons at the start of the 2011-2012 Premier League season.

Despite losing a number of supposedly “key” players since January last year, Newcastle United are yet to be defeated in competitive football this season.

It is an achievement which has given the fans a reason to be proud and the players a major confidence boost, in what was always going to be a defining season, during which many supporters feared the dreaded “second season syndrome” could come into play.

The unbeaten run has been mentioned, but I wanted to take a look at the statistics to see just how significant, and how big an achievement it actually is.

The results of my search actually surprised me, in a very positive way:

Newcastle have now gone a run of 13 games unbeaten, since their last defeat, a 3-0 loss away to Liverpool on May 1st this year.

That run includes 11 Premier League games and two Carling Cup ties.

Of course we keep hearing by many pundits that we are “yet to be truly tested”, while in the same breath we are told, “there are no easy games in the Premier League” – smart bunch aren’t they?

Just for interests sake, that unbeaten run has included playing the likes of Chelsea (away), Arsenal (home), Sunderland (away), Wolves (away), Aston Villa (away), QPR (away) and Spurs (home), as well as two tricky away cup ties, playing some youngsters.

Now if that not being tested yet, it doesn’t say much for the strength of the league these days does it?

Newcastle are one result away from equalling their longest ever run in Premier League history of games without a defeat – that of 12 games undefeated in the 1993-94 season (May 7, 1994 –  October 29, 1994 – five months and 22 days) under Kevin Keegan, in which Newcastle finished in 6th place.

It was during that same run that Newcastle had their best unbeaten run in a single season by going 11 games undefeated (August 21 to October 29 – two months and eight days).

The latest unbeaten run began on May 7, 2011, in a 2-1 win over Birmingham City at St James Park. Interestingly, the same day (Saturday, May 7) and Month as the previous unbeaten run.

Victory, or even a result against Wigan on Saturday, will see our record unbeaten run in the Premiership in terms of results equalled, leaving just a tricky cup tie away at Blackburn to set a new record in with regard to both time and results unbeaten.

Adding to that, we are are one of only three teams in the league this year, including Manchester City and United, to have not lost a game in the league so far, and only ourselves and Man United have not last a competitive game to date.

That’s one heck of a “lucky” run, I say extremely tongue in cheek. There is no doubt we’ve had our moments of luck, but if I look back on the moments of luck I’ve seen Manchester United have on the way to winning numerous trophies over the years, I think we’ve had it coming.

Now, while in no way do I see us going on to match the invincibles of Arsenal, who have the longest English league run with 49 games unbeaten, or even get through November, which is an incredibly tough month for us, I will say one thing.

We could not have wished for a better start.

Not bad for a net spent of £500k in the transfer window, not bad for a manager many weren’t happy with on appointment, and dare I say it… not bad for an owner who couldn’t give a s%__ about our club! Eh?

Good on ya Mr Alain Pardeaux and staff, let’s try keep it up for as long as we can!

    JJ hope you havent put the mockers on us ;-) quite shocked that were on the verge of breaking our prem record

    MDS says:

    Another shite thread from JJ :lol:

    Seriosuly, great read man. Our start is even more remarkable when you read those numbers. A win on the weekend and we are in some special territory for us historically.

    toonsy says:

    Utter bobbins :razz:

    Nah well done mate. Good digging. I never even thought about that to be fair. One thing, would our Cup tie count? Or would it be the league game at Stoke considering it’s a league record?

  5. 5
    JJ says:

    Batty,

    I hope so too, I got the record from nufc.com’s records so they usually reliable. If not, I put full responsiibility on them!

    MDS,
    You and the clique! ;-)

    icedog says:

    guess we will have to put the knifes away,as its a canny thread like,one thing ive said before always been a lucky set of gits m/utd over a number of years,so a bit comeing our way would be nice,or is it luck?

  7. 7
    JJ says:

    Agree Ice.

    What is luck exactly. For years I’ve seeing Man U scoring goals in the last minute of injury time to snatch three points, and I’ve said “so damn lucky”.

    Its only after 16 years of saying “so damn lucky” that you realise, perhaps there’s more to these things than luck.

    I couple of moments in scraped results were lucky yes, but in years gone by, we would have lost anyway. And to have only lost ONE home game since December 26th 2010.

    Surely that can’t be luck!

    just hope we beat wigan 19 points from 9 games will be unbeleivable :smile:

    JJ as for the clique its a very big 1 as Toonsy started his blog and every 1 followed ,so its toonsy clique :lol:

    JJ says:

    Toonsy

    The cup tie would count as far as I can make out. If not in league wins, certainly for the length of time we’ve remained undefeated.

    http://www.nufc.com/html/records.html

    JJ says:

    In that link, some of the information is old, but the unbeaten runs remains a record. So far…

  12. 12
    GeordieTwo says:

    Just for interest sake JJ do you know what the longest undefeated run including the old first division is? What about the great teams of the 20′s and 50′s? Surely they deserve a mention. Can’t let the memories of the past fade away all together (Jackie Milburn a true legend). I know the most consecutive wins was 11 in 1992 (incredible!).

    batty says:

    goerdietwo ,you would be best asking dog that hes old enough to know it of the top of his head ;-)

  14. 14
    JJ says:

    Toonsy, our overall record of being undefeated, with games including, Cup, European ties and Premier League ties is 17 matches. Thats still some way to go.

  15. 15
    icedog says:

    BATTY @9,true mate very true ;-)

  16. 16
    JJ says:

    Geordietwo

    I did read it up and i believe the longest ever run was by Nottingham Forrest.

    Around 80 odd games or so, can’t remember the exact figure.

  17. 17
    JJ says:

    For some reason the number 74 games is flashing. But now I’ll check.

  18. 18
    GeordieTwo says:

    Fair enough Batty. I’m getting pretty long in the tooth myself but don’t remember either the 20′s or 50′s teams. What’s the answer icedog? I’m still trying to find it but no luck so far. Nobody has matched Shackleton’s 6 goals in one match that I can find either (would have loved to see that!).

  19. 19
    JJ says:

    Our longest run (excluding European competitions) since being back in the Premier league is in fact 14 games. So a results against Wigan would tie that figure too… And a results against Blackburn would break that record.

  20. 20
    GeordieTwo says:

    17 matches! unbelievable run that JJ! Could we possibly break it now with 3 draws in November against United, City, and Chelsea? Getting carried away here but loving the football right now. If Ben Arfa can really get going who knows?

  21. 21
    JJ says:

    Geordie,

    Got that wrong, it was in fact Wimbledon with 78 games unbeaten. Notts Forrest record of 42 league games was the one broken by Arsenal.

  22. 22
    JJ says:

    Well the season of that 17 game unbeaten streak, we played two relatively easy European qualifying rounds against Antwerp. So that kind of faltters that number.

    Thats why I say, exluding European games, a result against Wigan, would tie our best ever unbeaten run in English Premier league history, both in league and overall results.

  23. 23
    JJ says:

    Well last time the unbeaten streak ended with a loss at Old Trafford. I would take it if our unbeaten streak ended at Old Trafford this time too.

    Would stretch it to 18 games. ;-)

  24. 24
    batty says:

    JJ you could of done another thread with all this info :smile:

  25. 25
    GeordieTwo says:

    Would love to beat both Manchesters this season JJ. Too much suffering at their hands over the last few seasons. Would love it if Ben Arfa scored the winner against City! Even if we have to wait for the home games against both of them. :grin:

  26. 26
    JJ says:

    Haha, I wanted to add it, but I figured it was long enough… ;-)

    Geordie
    I think we have a chance against Man U, for me, Man City and Chelsea are the teams to beat this season… Those will be tougher.

    Big Dave says:

    JJ good one you seem to be getting the hang of this mate, we have broke a few records this season already so who knows ;-)

  28. 28
    batty says:

    geordietwo if our squad stays injury free i think we could beat any 1 at home on a good day ;-)

  29. 29
    Big Dave says:

    Batty I disagree mate I dont think we need to stay totally injury free, imo there is only a couple of positions that injuries would effect us too much. ;-) but I get your drift my friend :grin:

    No one can break Jose Mourinho Home record unbeaten for 9years. :shock:

    keith says:

    Cant help myself,
    “only a 500k spend ” just imagine if we had kept carroll and nolan ,there would have been no financial outlay we would have had a bigger squad with more goals , and the 35 mill is not to good to turn down if your a fan we dont get the money ! and it hasent gone back into the club so it may as well been 35 pence to us .But howay does ashley really take the credit or does this prove he does give a shit about the club and if so how ? When pardew was apointed i was front of the line saying please no but credit were it is due hes doing a good job and long may it last .

  34. 34
    dan4toon says:

    Keith, having Nolan in the squad wouldn’t be the same because he wouldn’t be starting and with him being a ‘big influence’ that could of worked against us.

    But I know what your saying.

  35. 35
    keith says:

    im probs just looking at the cup half empty rather than half full but i think its just as bad to look at only the positives as it is to look at the negatives as someone said in another thread it looks like downsizing the club and it worries me when we have sold all the high value players and the next crop of young lads arent an instant success then what ! or am i just winging :x

  36. 36
    toonsy says:

    Keith – No I agree. To me that is the big test now. Can we keep what we’ve got?

    Someone asked what position was ben arfa going to play, we got told in the summer he would be in number ten role!

    I didnt really catch it all, I think Jobey did, he might do a article about it.

    Oh and Ranger has been chucked in the reserves until his attitude improves :lol:

    Stardust says:

    Batts – Toonsy

    Wonder if GS and other newbies know that Wanky Tissue scammed 500 quid out of his site bloggers for server upgrades and spent it on his computer and past bills – a criminal deception. So GS and co – know you’re defending a man known by many to be a liar and scammer.

    Oh and GS he has back edited posts for years to maintain an image with posters – but all who have been blogging for years with the exception of a few good guys (Clint and Hugh etc) have deserted him – while he makes up lies about everyone.

    The man, in my opinion, is a Grade A1 Tw@t.

    Toonsy – you’re too kind to him in your replies – credit for not rising – I couldn’t do it.

  41. 41
    Rossco says:

    Talking of Shackleton, I used to get babysat by him. Can’t say I remember much about him though. Understand he was a great player and a bit of an outspoken character. Shame he went on to do so well at the dark place.

  42. 42
    icedog says:

    TOONSY he did say the only place benny will play and thats behind the front striker,and he is a super player,he wants another striker and know he needs cover in defence,thinks fergie will end end up as a l.b and will be pushing in next 12mths

    keep or maybe even add to , just being greedy now ha

    MDS says:

    Just heard a couple of miniutes of Pards, hope they post a recording of the interview.

    The Ben Arfa comment was kind of interesting. Pards said that Ben arfa “will only play one position for me, and that it he #10.” He went on to say that they will move more in that direction but still play two strikers some times- essentially saying that he isn’t going to play every game. went on to rave about his abilities though.

    Also said, that he is one of the only people who views Fergie’s best position as LB and not LM.

    Toby le Rhone says:

    Pardew came across really well this evening in answering none too difficult questions on radio newcastle for a hour. Was very positive about every member of the squad and staff which I think plays a little part in our match day performances.
    On Ranger he said the the lad all the talent and self belief to be a first team player at the Toon but needed to rebuild the trust and discipline. Pardew wouldn’t write him off

  55. 55
    icedog says:

    STARDUST@40 dead right there toonsy shocked me how he just let it go over his heed, top marks to him,hes the blog master now imo,mind theres a straw to much for everyone at some point,will say this there will never be a day on this site when we have to copy and paste our comments if you get my drift ;-)

  56. 56
    MDS says:

    @47. Again I didn’t hear much, but it was more information than I’ve ever gotten from the club. Pards came accross very well in my opinion, he answered everything that was asked in his typical wordy fashion- which is a good thing when responding to fan questions.

  57. 57
    Rodzilla says:

    Cheers Toby, I’ve said before, Ranger was a HUGE prospect when we first landed him. It’d be a real shame to let that go to waste. He just needs to realise the privileged position he’s in, and start pulling his weight. The lad is still wet behind the ears, and obviously ‘easily-led’. Lets just hope AP can easily lead him back on track. He does seem to know his onions in man management. I think the fact we haven’t loaned him out speaks volumes. Nile seems to be playing some decent stuff for the reserves. Fingers crossed he sticks to his guns. ;-)

  58. 58
    Rodzilla says:

    …”answered everything that was asked in his typical wordy fashion”

    Just as well MDS with it being on radio, be pretty shit if he answered them all in mime.

    Rodzilla says:

    Ice, yeah AP always comes across as a good communicator. You believe him when he talks to you. Lets hope he can drill home to Ranger how much of a cock he’s been. He just needs a big kick up the arse.

    Toonsy, it’d be funny to watch though :grin:

  63. 63
    Stardust says:

    Yeah – Rodz – I got banned (for having an innocuous laugh with Big Dave) then he was telling lies about what I was doing for 6 months or so, but as with all liars – Big Dave and I independently had been copying posts – with dates etc.

    He then said it was me who had been deleting blog comments (not him as we can all now see its his stamp) but I was actually banned at the time – trap set and caught woo hoo! He is a dishonest rat – and the revelation was seen by all.

    Then he called Dave a racist, wouldn’t apologise, back edited blogs, and then played a mental card etc etc – that’s why everyone jumped ship

    Ice – spot on fella.

    ahhh Stardust@63, I missed a lot of the political shenanigans, just caught stuff on here. As you know I used to post on Ed’s quite a bit (until he banned me, twice) and relocated my ramblings to org for a while. I never jumped ship to here as such, just stumbled across this one through newsnow after about a year of non-blogging. And the rest is history, as they say.

    Not sure about anyone else – but I love folks with character. I scrub my life of the grey and dull. What’s the point of surrounding yourself with folk who live in grey boxes – walking out of their front doors in the morning, packed lunch in briefcase “morning” they say insincerely as they waddle off to another day of boredom.

    Give me people with character, intellect, opinion, humour, madness – with a bit of honesty and sincerity thrown in any day of the week. Troys one of the best blokes I know (I’m pissed or I wouldn’t be typing that – should be full of hatred) Batty, Rodz – great characters with a mix of the other stuff thrown in. Loads of fellas on here are spot on.

    Come to think of it:

    GS – get Wanky Tissue to rim you fella – you know he wants to (unless he is spending the 500 on rimming ladyboys in Thailand (again apparently) :lol: to be fair he probably already is. (That was for you Toonsy since you’re too much of a gent !)

    Spencer@109, even though I know you’re not replying to Stardust, that was a PERFECT answer!! :grin: :mrgreen:

    …ah the beauty of the blog.

    Cheers Stards anyway. You’re one of the ‘interesting ones’ too. It all adds up to the whole. Full credit to Toonsy for letting people say what the fk they feel like (within reason). Blog loons are the future. There are a lot more out there too, they just need encouraging. :lol:

    …incidentally, one of my personal favourites is ‘Corned Beef’, who just turns up every now and again to say “eh?

    I’d personally like to see more people questioning things, even if they’re deaf.

    dan4toon says:

    A bit late but I thought Pardew came across quite well (as always) in his interview.

    Interesting the bit about Obertan where they’ve been telling him not to always attack the full-back but to look to pass it inside but maybe he’s done that a bit too much and they need to find the right balance.

  130. 130
    SpencerTheToon says:

    He said he will be attacking at the weekend like dan! Obviously thinks we are going to twonk Wigan, which we probably are!

    HOWAY THE TOON!

    A few points to make.

    Firstly, cracking thread JJ, kind of shite I will spout in the pub and claim it as my own, well done. ;-)

    Secondly, Stardust, I actually agreed with a couple of your posts, you must be pished ;-)

    Lastly, the question “Does Ashley actually give a shit about the club?” is interesting depending on how you interpret it.

    Of course he does, he owns it and has ploughed millions and millions into it.

    Does he give a shit about the fans, our players or our heritage? No, but isn’t that, in essence, the club?

    He gives a shit about his business acquisition, which happens to be the club, which he doesn’t give a shit about :???:

    EvilFranky says:

    I don’t see anyone mentioning the comments made about Colo’s contract in Pardew’s interview.

    According to NUFC.COM he said it has been difficult because his agent is based in Argentina and that if a big club came in it would be hard for Colo or the club to refuse. Don’t like the sound of that one bit.
