Its the cut-glass accents. Portsmouth were beaten by the Chester Zoo gibbon enclosure.

Anyone know what the record is for most Premier League games drawn in a row?

Saints are the current joint record holders for the most consecutive draws in a Premier League season: 7 in 1994-95. Saints are also the current joint holders of the record for the most consecutive draws in Football League history, which is 8. Saints did it in the 2005-06 Championship season. Saints are also the joint record holders for the most draws ever in a Premier League season: 18 in 1994-95.

We hold most of the draw records but there is still one we are currently on course for - the most consecutive 0-0 draws, which is currently held jointly by Arsenal, who've done it twice, Spurs and most recently Wolves (2015-16) with 4. Both Spurs and Arsenal did it with the manager who was the master of scoreless draw football, George Graham.

Think we possibly now hold the record for being the injured party to the most disagreed with VAR decision of all time .

[HarvSFC]

Not a Saints record, but Norwich's 15 straight Premier League defeats is pretty miserable. Wonder if they can make half a season.

As another one bites the dust, I wonder if more managers have been sacked after losing to us than to any other team.

I’d settle for them making it 16.

I know it's mentioned elsewhere but the most recent one to add to the list; playing against 2 PL teams managed by the same man in successive fixtures.

I might be wrong but I believe Terry Paine was the first [old] 2nd division player to play in the world cup. 1970

He didn't play in the 1970 WC, guess you mean 1966. He never played for England again after the Mexico match in the group stages. He was the first England international wearing the No 7 shirt to score a hat-trick at Wembley (but not the first to score a hat trick for England, that was Sir Stanley Matthews).

Yow you are right but still that hat trick was worth noting.

[Pamplemousse]

Here's something I came across today. Not sure if it's been repeated in English football but as we were specifically singled out I think we hold this distinction

 

In 2000 we appointed a former England manager. In 2018 we appointed a former Wales manager. In 2001 and 2005 we appointed future Scotland managers. In 1973 we appointed a future Northern Ireland manager.

I believe we actually hold the record for most draws in a row in FL history; 2005-06 season.

[Bad Wolf]

I'm sure it's probably been posted but we're the only team to have beaten every single club to have won the PL at some stage whilst they're Champions. Extremely unlikely that anyone else will ever do that considering Leicester and Blackburn would both have to win the league again.

The scary thing is he nearly scored with his first touch after coming on as a sub!

We've also equalled our record for consecutive losses tonight, one more game to go before we can tick that record off.

Yep anything other than a win against Everton and Jones will also take Frank De Boers titles as the worst every start to a premier league job. 2 new records in one day. 

[Wurzel]

Another history making "first" last night .

  Quote

Singh Gill makes league history

History was made at St Mary's with Bhupinder Singh Gill becoming the first Sikh-Punjabi to serve as an assistant referee at a Premier League match.

The 37-year-old, who qualified as a referee at the age of 14, said earlier that he hoped to inspire the future generation.

"My dream has always been to reach the top of the game, be a role model for future officials and encourage more people from diverse backgrounds into officiating, especially from a South Asian background just like me," he said.

[david in sweden]

Maybe our record of Prem. /  Div.1  away games at Goodison  is up for consideration?.

Can't recall our last win there, but it was almost certainly back in the last century.........

[jawillwill]

We win at Goodison almost as little as Everton...

[Behind Enemy Lines]

The only team to beat a team managed by Pep Guardiola in a domestic cup quarter final.

Sadly not. Brentford v Wolves last year was stopped for nearly 20 minutes.

I reckon we've got the record for most dodgy VAR decisions against us when playing Villa at home!

Soon we will have two in the top 5

Surely we must have the record for fewest opening day wins each season?  It's looking like we are going to continue that proud record tonight 😭
