Into the history books

[BladesOnToast]

Our 50 league goals away from home is the 6th highest ever in English football.

Beat Chesterfield and we will also become only the 11th side to bag 100+ points in a season. (this sounds more impressive if you say "the tenth highest points haul in English football history", ideally to someone who doesn't know that you used to only get 2 points for a win, and who isn't pedantic enough to point out that it's joint tenth highest.)

Highest points tally of any Blades side ever sounds like history to me B O T

 

[anglian blade]

50 away goals is the (joint) highest since 1951

 

[northsomersetblade]

It's all just too swellegant

 

[spongebobblade]

97 points ...... a new all time Blades points record regardless of next week. 100 points and 30 wins? Only 3 goals needed to average 2 goals per game for the season. So many records smashed the chances are we will have a season like this one again

 

[metalblade]

Surely Bolton have scored more away goals after all everyone wishes we were in their position.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Or.....only 11 goals needed for 100 league goals!

That doesn't count. Football in this country began in 1992 when the Premier League started. Any records before then have to be discounted.

Then we are joint highest with Bournemouth

 

[metalblade]

We gave the rest four games start and still smashed the division with games to spare

I must say I thought I'd never see this day. An awesome achievement and what a fantastic turn around in only a year. What can we kick on to next season?

Bert is correct. This is schismatic behaviour which might ultimately cost us a points deduction and a 7th season in the bastard 3rd.

Recorders claimers out !

Is that Bert speaking or Berts's alter ego? I daresay that is 'alt' Bert

 

[Punk Blade]

Six-goal winning margin next week gives us a goal difference of +50. I think that should be the next target!

I am merely affirming Bert. I know my place in the scheme.
