1032 minutes and it still counts. Simply amazing.

Even more amazing if you look at the back four we had to play. Evra, Brown, Rio out but still we looked solid, whoever stepped in. Credit must go to Vidic as well, he's been immense

1104 minutes would set the all time football league record, currently held by Reading in their Fourth Division promotion season of 1978/79.

i think this would be it. On international level Italy had some 500+ min, which was just international games. not sure, but we would set this in next few games.

Its a magnificent record to have but lets not dwell on it too much. Keeping clean sheets should be a regular occurence from now on. Lets try and keep our good defensive run going as long as possible. It makes the job of the attackers a whole lot easier once they put the ball in the net.

Well done lads! We were a little dodgy at times today.
Keeping this run going will give us an incredible sense of belief and confidence in our ability and destiny... Do let's keep Cahill in our pockets. The great surprise returns today of Rio and Wes Brown were thoroughly welcome! |

Congrats to VDS & our magnificent defence !.... an icredible achievement giving our attack-minded nature & our varied defensive line-ups.
Not alone are we THEE best attacking team, we are obviously the best defensively too!  ....... (Scousers, take a deep breath.... &..... now sigh!)

This deserves a post.
Ridiculous achievement, who would have dreamed that when Nasri tore a hole through our ragged defence in the first half that we wouldn't concede again for so long. Stunning, Vidic player of the year. |

What makes it even better is that we've played some fucking tough games
City away - anthing can happen in a derby Spurs away- were revived under harry at the time Villa away - 3rd in league Stoke away - after coming back from Japan Chelsea home Truely brilliant. |

Anyone bored?
If so, wouldnn't mind someone maybe trying to find out what Chelsea's defence was in their run of matches, as for me, what makes this even more impressive is that our defence at times has been anything but settled |

Some media are giving the time as 925 minutes and others 1025 minutes. Add on the extra 6 minutes left and we get either 932 or 1032. As the record is 1104, if the 1032 is correct then we really could get the ALL-TIME Football Record (from any division)....in our next game. Now that's a record!

Chelsea's, in comparisson, would be
Norwich: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Bridge Aston Villa: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Bridge Portsmouth: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Johnson Liverpool: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Johnson Middlesbrough: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Smertin (midfielder I know, but he was replaced by Johnson on 50 minutes so either Chelsea played 3 at the back until that point or he played in defence) Tottenham: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Johnson Portsmouth: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Bridge Blackburn: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Bridge Man City: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Bridge Everton: Gallas, Ferreira, Terry, Bridge So basically, 3/4 of their defence stayed in tact for the entire run with Johnson (and Smertin possibly) coming in during what I'd assume was an injury for Bridge. In contrast, we've had our backup central defender play half of our matches (Evans), a squad player appear in 8 (O'Shea), an 18 year old start 5 (Rafael), lacked last seasons first choice right back for the entire run (Brown), and even if we take the liberty of calling Neville our first choice right back, we didn't once have our first choice back four start together once. Incredible really, it just shows how strong our squad is at the moment. |

But he has to keep Wigan and Bolton at bay if he wants to beat Petr Cech.The Chelsea keeper currently holds the record after going 1,025 minutes unbeaten before Norwich's Leon McKenzie scored for Norwich in March 2005
I'll try and wiki that season, and see what happens hmm, found the run of games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea...Premier_League Right, seems I was bored enough 18th Dec - Norwich (h) - Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Gallas, Bridge 26th Dec - Villa (h) - Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Gallas, Bridge - 0 changes 28th Dec - Pompey (a) - Cech, G.Johnson, Terry, Gallas, Ferreira - 1/2 changes 1st Jan 2005 - Liverpool (a) - Cech, G.Johnson, Terry, Gallas, Ferreira - 0 changes 4th Jan - Boro (h) - Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Gallas, Smertin - 1/2 changes 15th Jan - Spurs (a) - Cech, G.Johnson, Terry, Gallas, Ferreira - 1/2 changes 22nd Jan - Pompey (h) - Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Gallas, Bridge - 1/2 changes 2nd Feb - Blackbun (a) - Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Gallas, Bridge - 0 changes 6th Feb - City (a) - Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Gallas, Bridge - 0 changes 12th Feb - Everton (a) - Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Gallas, Bridge - 0 changes That's the games according to wiki, settled central defence and GK, was just changes at FB |
