Without wishing to jinx us for this Tuesday and Saturday, it is worth pointing out that we have now not lost a league game in November since 2009. Since then our record is Played 22, Won 15, Drawn 7. If we could replicate that over a season you are talking 108 points......����

Good research for sure, but scary for us of a superstitious nature. I believe in being jinxed.
You didn't jinx us this time but always need to take care.:smile:
Is that loud enough for you to hear? Cheers pal.

Conversely, we haven't won our first league match in December for even longer (2007) with 6 defeats and a draw. I trust I have just jinxed Bradford.
 
The Echo made a back page story of this last year. It is a really remarkable record and hopefully in continues for a number of Novembers to come.

Am I right in saying that our December record over the same period hasn't been that great? If so, I think we need to look at the two months as a pair, and take an average. That way November won't get noticed as anything special (and can then perhaps continue under the radar) and December can be ignored as a statistical anomaly!

You will be saying that the manager of the month award is jinxed next !!!! :winking:

Trust Brown to try to take the credit with his beard when the record predates him by several years ! :winking:
 
This run is now extended to 7 years. Since we last lost a league game in November:

  • We have had 3 managers
  • Lee Barnard and Franck Moussa have left twice
  • Adam Barrett has left and rejoined the club
  • Ron Martin has declared that 'work on the new stadium will begin' 2,745,881 times
  • Southend United have appeared at Wembley twice
  • Southend United were subject to 85 winding up petitions from HMRC

Some things have even occurred outside of the world of football:


  • 2 Olympic games & 2 World Cups have passed
  • Syria's ongoing civil war has begun
  • Prince William married Kate Middleton
  • The Higgs Boson was discovered
  • Russia annexed Crimea
  • Raoul Moat's standoff
  • US ended a 54 year boycott of Cuba
  • NASA found liquid water on Mars
  • 2016 will have occurred marking the formal beginning of the apocalypse
