Lifted from the OinkUn 11:47 - Oct 6 with 2777 views

Big deal!......

'Congratulations to West Ham, who have achieved a new British record by going 17 consecutive games in Europe undefeated.....

.... I'd just like to point out that we've not lost a competitive game in Europe since 1993.....

Just saying 😌....'

I'm sure that's been written with a self-deprecating hat on (Huckerby's?) but 'at gay-uv Oi a roight ol' chuh-uckle.

Out of interest, what's our best run unbeaten in Europe? (i.e. home AND away, everybody knows about home)

Easily batted away that... anglo-italian cup is not a European competition, can't recall how many games we played in it but they aren't included in our total of European games we've played.

Slight correction, the Anglo-Italian Cup did involve teams from Europe but was not a UEFA competition. So our loss at home to an English side still shouldn't be seen as a loss in official European competitions.

Or if it were then we could also claim another European trophy as The Texaco Cup involved clubs from more other Uefa members than the anglo-italian

Final aside, a good number of the teams they played in the Conference league would struggle in League One. It’s a pony competition, the Spammers even managed to get above 30pc possession in some of the games…

Our longest unbeaten run in Europe is 6 games:

29.9.82 v Roma (h) 3-1

--- bit of a gap, then ---

20.9.01 v Torpedo Moscow (h) 1-1
27.9.01 v Torpedo Moscow (a) 2-1
18.10.01 v Helsingborg (h) 0-0
1.11.01 v Helsingborg (a) 3-1
22.11.01 v Inter (h) 1-0

Then there was a narrow defeat in Milan, if memory serves.

Is WHU record the best in Europe?

“ When you think of supremacy in European football, the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Liverpool spring to mind. However, there is one surprise team that has managed to maintain a long and proud record in European competition, ensuring an unbeaten home run that stretches back from the 1962/63 season through to the 2002/03 campaign.

Suffolk side Ipswich Town have a rich history in the English game, having developed two former England managers in the shape of World Cup-winning Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson. Not only that, the 'Tractor Boys' remain undefeated at their Portman Road home in all 31 of their UEFA ties - winning 25 and drawing just six. It remains the longest ongoing unbeaten run across all UEFA competitions i.e. Champions League and Europa League.”

Ah, thanks. That's a little disappointing. We shall have to put that right soon.

Loads of five-match runs, but we did tend to lose away legs quite often (14 defeats in 31 ties).

But by some weird logic it’s the anniversary of European losses in minor rounds that should be celebrated, whereas we should feel embarrassed for actually winning a major European trophy.

I still can’t get my head around that piece of Norfolk genius.

I thought AZ had surpassed our record few years back only by one game mind you, and technically its still a UK record we have, but they were beaten by Everton managed by one D. Moyes

The stats are meaningless though now given the way Euro comps are set up as mini leagues and seeded.

It’s still a helluva a record though isn’t it…. A one that lot up the road will never match.

AZ did exceed our 32 games unbeaten, but then they lost one. Ours is, I think, once again the longest ongoing unbeaten run in Europe. We have 'Never Lost at Home', AZ have!!!

Isn't it fitting though, that it is us and AZ in a tussle for this record.
