Anyone else noticed that our first 4 fixtures are all against the only four " Uniteds" in the league.

Yes, we're the first team for 48 years to face Uniteds in each of our opening four top-flight games of a season.

As I mentioned above, it's the first time in 48 years!
So who did it last?
WHich United was it?
Has anyone ever faced 5 Uniteds in their opening 5 games?

Arsenal at the start of the 73-74 season. They played Man Utd, Leeds, Newcastle and Sheffield Utd.

More importantly, has anyone ever beaten 4 Uniteds in a row?

Point of order. Unless my maths is failing me I think that means we are the first to do this in 49 years.
Manchester were anything but united.

Everyone knows that but who were the first team to ever play 5 United's on the bounce
As I mentioned above, it's the first time in 48 years!
To be fair - [MENTION=15182]Perkino[/MENTION] was asking about the last time any side played 4 United's in a row. The fact quoted is about top-flight opening four fixtures. There could have been a team that faced four (or more) United's in a lower league mid-season?
