Crazy Stat Time!

[AKCJ]

I won't mind if the record is broken once Vardy has retired but for now I'd hate to see him lose it. Especially to a team that isn't going to achieve anything.

Our next four home league games are against London clubs. Has this ever happened before?

 

Depending on the QPR result and possible cup draws, it could be five (or six) in a row in all competitions.

Apart from Everton, I think every match between now and the start of March is against a London club, assuming we either lose to QPR or win and play another London club in Round 4.

This is it for me. 

 

RVN's record stood for over 12-13 (?) years.

 

For Vardy's to have lasted for less than a decade would be crap. 

 

Vardy's record is special because it contributed to the league win. 

[Foxmeister]

He's usually around 4/5 to score at anytime so 10/1 to equal the record or 18/1 to break it.

Not a crazy stat, just a small detail.

 

Lots of talk last night about how a win for Forest would have equaled their all time record of consecutve victories. That was in 1921/22 when they won seven in a row.  Then they came to Filbert Street looking to make it eight but we stopped the run - the game finished 2-2. 

 

That's the small detail. Here's a bigger one.

 

Forest hated playing us at that time. Those two games came in the middle of an amazing run of fourteen games in which we won 10, drew 4 and lost none at all:

It’s niche… but a fascinating stat!

So many have tried. But Vardy’s 11-in-row will take some beating!

Leicester City have lost seven consecutive league games for only the fourth time in their history, also doing so in April 2001 (a run of eight), September 1990 and January 1932.

Look at the company he's keeping:

 

 

 

 

 

(For the other one you mention, 1932, the board took over from Willie Orr midway through the run of defeats).

Look forward to our next meeting to make it 13 & 14. In a few years!

I'm struggling to find when City previously lost 4 home league games in succession without scoring.

However, in 1971/72 under Jimmy Bloomfield, they did play 5 successive league games at home without scoring, but 2 of those ended as 0-0 draws.

Embarrassing moment we're in

Today in 2021 We were Top of the league..

Leicester are unbeaten in their last four home league games against Brentford (W2 D2), having failed to win in any of their first eight home meetings with the Bees between 1937 and 1953 (D4 L4).

However, the Foxes have lost each of their last five Premier League home games – they have never lost six in a row on home soil in their league history.

Record breakers

Leicester become the first English top flight side in history to lose six home games in a row WITHOUT scoring

[Corky]

This team deserves these records.

Yeah, and even then look at all the stands empty cos people leaving early.

Claudio winning silverware would be about the only positive to take from this season. 
 

One last hurrah my guy! 

[davieG]

Ying Yang

 

In fact, in terms of non-penalty expected goals, Chelsea’s tally of 0.8 was the joint-lowest in a game against City, level with van Nistelrooy’s Manchester United against Steve Cooper’s City back in November.

 

 

City’s least threatening performance of the season.

They had three shots, the fewest they’ve mustered in a game all season, and they managed an expected goals tally of just 0.1. They had four touches in the Chelsea box, the joint-fewest they’ve had in a match this term.

Not Leicester but rather revealing re the state of English football.

 

Eddie Howe is the first ENGLISH manager to win a major trophy since 2008

He did it by delivering Newcastle United’s first domestic trophy since 1955

 

Plus

 

Trippier’s the 65th player to leave spurs after 2008 and win a trophy

[davieG]

City have now had 75 shots at home, with 23 on target, since they last stuck one away.
