Did we ever lose 7 games in a row

Nah don't think we have ever lost 7 in a row, in fact i think Martin Tyler said only 4 teams have ever lost that many in a row.

 

Think Merson on his blog made a very good point that if they lost today they would probably be down. Because they have to play Man Utd twice, Liverpool twice and Chelsea twice. They will get stuffed in those games. So that leaves 25 games needing about 1.5 points a game which is european place standard. Not going to happen.

 

Also if we win today we get to 1 point 1st and that is fecking hillarious. Of course this is Saints though so knowing us were lose....

mm - I wouldn't count your chickens yet, I'm sure Reading and Wigan lost 8 games in a row at some point and managed to stay up, not at the start of the season though.

 

As I said on another forum, wait till they fail to win at home against the Stokes, Wigans, Burnleys, Hulls and Wolves in the league before you start celebrating, there are some very poor teams in the Premiership this season.

what is annoying...despite losing 7 in a row..they are only 4 points (well, 5 if you include their goal difference) from safety...

 

 

Surely now the bookies will run a book on ...WHEN Pompey get their FIRST POINT ....and later in the season ........

on WHICH month they get their first WIN... .and in WHICH year that will be ..... exciting, eh ?

Tend to agree with this. Yes they have made an appauling start - but win 2 games on the bounce and things look slightly different. There are some very 'average' teams in the top flight this year and so the points total for saftey could be considerable lower than normal.

 

Hull look to be struggling and are in free fall, other teams could also get sucked in, Portsmouth may yet have the last laugh.

in the Premier League?

 

Just wondering.

 

We had some very long runs with no wins but no very long losing streaks. We did finish one place above 2 teams that lost 8 in a row though. Man City lost 8 in a row under Alan Ball and we stayed up on goal difference. Charlton lost 8 in a row in the great escape season. The last of those was the 3-1 loss at the Dell.

After they played for time on the final day of the season thinking they were safe :lol: !
