Fifth team in history to win by 8 goals in the Premier League

[Red and White Army]

Would like Duncan to clarify how many have won by eight in the top division, and post WW2 for good measure.

Is that our highest ever margin of victory win? We've won by 6 before, 9-3 v wolves, 8-2 v Coventry, couple of 6-0s but don't ever remember a margin of victory bigger than that.

It's our biggest win since December 1921 according to a journo on Twitter

So is the 6-3 against United count as our biggest win in the premier league? That's what Jonathan Pearce said, annoyingly mentioning the grey shirts. So many people confuse the 2 games like Utd had an excuse that day
