We're going in the Record Books

[mikeyhg]

Dunno if anyone has noticed but we're oncourse to go into the record books for the most clean sheets in a season in England in all leagues.

The record currently stands at 24, Petr Cech's record in 2004-05 and we currently stand at 22, so 3 more from the 7 remaining games would I think see us break a record.

There are plenty of stats for most clean sheets in a premiership season but if anyone can prove me wrong on a season in any league then fair enough, I looked hard and low and think this is still the stat that covers the premier league and other leagues.

Congrats Paddy and the defence (including Dezza and Ali)

Cech will have played less games, so will need to compare to other divisions with same number of teams maybe.

Wonderful acheivement anyway.

[Hertford Hoop]

That is a truly exceptional record if we do this

The record is about beating the amount of games with clean sheets so how can the game count be different stupid.

Think about it: Record 22 games, so 22 games to equal it, 23 games needed to beat it. Irrespective of whether there are 1 or 100 teams. (It is the Games count)

[The White City General]

I think he's saying that if Chelsea had been in a league where each team played 46 games instead of 40 they might have extended their record even further and that their ratio of clean sheets to games played would be higher.

22/40 games = 55% clean sheets
23/46 games = 50% clean sheets
