I would quite happily swap the most away games without defeat for a major trophy any day of the week.

Certainly not!
I don’t like it when we start to big up things that don’t deserve it like our unbeaten away record .
I don’t like it we we accept less.
I do like that. I like that we're not like Real Madrid fans who wave handkerchiefs at Champions league winners.

I like that we, mostly, don't demand constant success from our club, but just a sign that things are being done correctly.

I'm very happy with how Ole has done compared to our last 3 managers and just in general.

Each to his own I guess but if you are happy after that shitshow on Tuesday night I despair.
What will it take to make you unhappy??

So you mean changing the "most away games without a defeat record" one of the most prestigious records to have not only for a football club but for any sports organization against a simple Premier League Trophy or UCL?

WOW WOW WOW pal I think you're alone there.

In 50 years time no one will remember who won the EPL or UCL 2020/21 title, but everyone will know and still talk about Ole's away from home invincibles. There be stories and tales about it, children will gather around the old so they can here one more time about that amazing Manchester United team that didn't won a single trophy but got the most prestigious records of all.

I can’t imagine anyone was happy about Tuesday. The general signs are positive, though.

Definitely more work to be done.

Brilliant. Well-played.

The Mourinho years

Marouane Fellaini

Romelu Lukaku

Egg salad

That is all

I don't think it was a shitshow by the way. We were in control until the sending off. They pressed like lunatics and got 2 flukey goals. Shit happens

He/she never said they were?

They just have some balance and perspective in life and their football club and take some positives from progress… it’s not perfect, it’s not consistent, it’s not as fast as ideally we’d all like.

But it’s clearly there and better than the last three managers unless winning an FA cup/shit football or the EL trophy/alienating your players is your bag … each to their own I guess.

Is it a given that our football is better these days? Not sure about that.

Today is feeling like another reminder that 2 wins and a loss is better than a win and two draws.

29 now. Can make it 30 games in the row vs Leicester in October. That's another tough away game.

Luck runs out, finally. Must be one of the jammiest unbeaten run record in football.

It ends here but not as important, at least we've broken it. 2-2 draw would be almost as bad result as 4-2 loss, with the way we're playing.

It was a pointless run anyway. Won us feck all. Neither of the top clubs like Chelsea or City will like to trade their league and CL trophies of last season to that "great" run.

Just like that unbeatable run in Mourinho's first season when we end up finishing 6th anyway.

Pointless records are pointless.

Just to add, it's an incredibly pointless record obtained by being incredibly lucky.

Hopefully people will stop using it as a “gotcha” now when talking about how shit we are. Yeah, it was a fantastic run, but utterly pointless in the end.

Not really, it was a solid run. Jammy because of the pandemic I suppose.
I will not deny that there were spurts of good performances but there were also several poor performances, made further jarring by the woeful home performance in the same period.

What a run. I'll look back on the fond memories of all the trophies we won during this period.

Oh wait..

Most of the games were played behind closed doors, without away fans intimidating the players and referee, so the record deserves a massive asterisk anyway.

Burn this thread, this away streak rightfully done when playing in front of supporters. We were never that good, it’s just easy to come back and get results in an empty stadium.

Longest away run in history embarrassing? It’s nothing to shout about but it’s noteworthy in this league.
It's as noteworthy as the calendar year league champions stat by Spurs. Absolutely irrelevant.

You almost sound happy.
Not happy we lost, happy people don’t try and give something that is worthless without the home form any extra meaning. Going unbeaten home and away is vague enough, you could just be drawing every game.

Going unbeaten away alone is just irrelevant without the other 50% of games.

Records mean nothing if you don't win anything.

Klopp doesn't give a fk about the unbeaten run in itself it's winning the league that counts. League or CL.

I forget that this happened until its mentioned on tv. Most pointless run ever. Most of the wins were trash anyway.
