Unbeaten run ?

[Guest SpiritualWarrier]

Would you rather have two draws in your last two games, or win and lose one ?

[Guest Ant]

Win one and lose one, Wins win you leagues, Draws don't

[Sion]

win two

[Guest SpiritualWarrier]

Can the mods on here ban the words 'Unbeaten Run', as it means f*** all unless you start winning more.

How many draws did Arsenal get when they won the league unbeaten? Twelve wasn't it?

[Rimbeux]

But but we're unbeaten, can you not see how ridiculous you're being

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

there's a massive psychological difference between drawing & losing

Yes they did, they drew 4 at home = we've equalled that one already in 5 games. Can you see us winning all our home games for the rest of the season ?

19 wins, 19 defeats won't even get you into europe

or winning and not winning

 

loss, draw, win, loss, draw, win, draw, isnt an unbeaten run anyway

[Guest SpiritualWarrier]

19 wins, 19 defeats won't even get you into europe

 

True, but 38 draws will get you relegated.

5 of the 6 teams above us aren't unbeaten. Do you think they are looking at our unbeaten record enviously ?

nah - only once has a team gone down on 40+ points (in a 38 game season)

I can just imagine Fergie going off on one now

Brilliant put down

I wasn't trying to be funny, just trying to be a bit more realistic about how good it is that we're unbeaten. Win our next 4 league fixtures and that unbeaten record will look a lot better. The problem is finding our form quick enough to win 4 league games.

So we'd have got one more point but could potentially have lost to Arsenal who would then have two more points, leaving us further behind.

 

In the context of those two fixtures, I'd rather take two draws, though I can see your general point.

You have to be on a wind-up, Ant. That's a "Fergie" and a "SAF" in the space of a few days...

there are 2 types of unbeaten run -- not losing a game, and winning every game - seem Rafa prefers the former

Yes, of course he does. Like when we won about 14 on the bounce in his second season and a good few on the bounce around Jan/Feb last year (if I remember correctly).

Don't let that fool you - Rafa hates winning. Everytime the players win a game, he cuts their bonuses and orders 100 lashes on the back for the match winner.
