Brentford break Notts' record

[SwalePie]

Only just learned that this record has gone...

Another Notts County record is broken. Brentford ended Friday top of the English top flight​ for the first time since September 1, 1946, a gap of 74 years & 346 days, the biggest ever gap for a club topping the whole league, breaking Notts County’s record (58years 251days between December 1924 and August 1983).

It's stretching things a bit though to say that a team is "top of the league" when only one game has been played!

Especially when 18 out of 20 teams hadn't played, at least ours was after a full set of fixtures and a 4 goal away win at Leicester....expunge Brentford's record!

We were still top after everybody had played two games. We'd scored more than West Ham and had a better GD than Villa And Arsenal who'd also taken 6 points from 6,. Then we came up against Ipswich who'd finished 3rd, 2nd, 2nd and 9th in the previous four seasons and we went on to set a then club record number of back to back defeats.

Down to fifth.
Pretenders - be lucky to qualify for Europe at this rate.
