Were first after both one and two games in either 2018-19 or 2019-20. Also top after one game when we beat Burnley on opening day around 14 years back. Second in the league after 3 games in 2012-13. But I'm assuming it was back in 1996-97 the last time we were top after 4 games. think we were still top after 5, despite losing at Arsenal.

Lost 2-0 at home to Chelsea in game 5 and were still top with 12 points from 5 games, then we got knocked off top the following Saturday in game week 6.. played Arsenal away on Sky on the Monday where a win would have sent us back top after 6 games but we lost 4-1. Never went top again after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kouki Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I've got a photo of Teletext with us top of the prem. I'd been on holiday and being around 1996 I had no idea how we were doing until I got back to the UK. Used my last picture on my film to photograph the telly before sending photos off for developing. It was the summer I started a new school down in Reading. First and only time I've been called a glory hunter... It didn't last long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie melua Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I remember after our 5-0 win at Hartlepool, we were top of the league going to Brentford live on the cameras. Put in an awful performance, thoroughly deserved to lose the game 1-0. That started a run of four successive defeats Top of the league under Alan Irvine. Did that really happen?

To think in all these years , I'm 57 I've never known us be top of any league after 5 games is an unbelievable stat. I think it's about time that changed , as a fanbase we have been absolutely starved of success and for the support we get it's criminal. We were top for most of the season in 83/84, threw it away at the end. Lost out to Chelsea on goal difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time was in 1959, I'm still annoyed that we somehow only finished 2nd in 1984. We were so near to not a championship The Championship in 1961. Spurs were worthy Champions but any +&- 2 years we could have done it. My Dad saw the double championship My Grandad did too so ist das leben.

Beauchief Owl Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Any league? Well we were top of the teams dropping most points from winning positions in the Championship last season with 30. This was one place higher than the previous season when the figure was 28. Think about that, 58 points dropped from winning positions over two seasons. Scandalous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had so many kickings after going ahead in games that it didn't seem worth getting excited about. A very strange feeling that so far isn't being repeated. I'm back to celebrating this season.
