What do you consider to be the most amazing sequence of results?

Been thinking about sequences of results - it's amazing how situations turn out.

Here are my top five:

1. Brighton barely dropping any home points post Christmas 1996-97 season and staying up by virtue of goals scored

2. Luton winning last 6 matches to stay in Div 1 some time in the 80's

3. Not a sequence but Arsenal having to win 2-0 at Anfield to win Championship in 1989 and duly doing so

4. The Italy/ Denmark/ Sweden scenario at this year's Euro Championships

5. Brighton's play-off success last season

Arsenal and Forest's 42-game unbeaten runs are pretty amazing, especially Arsenal's as

a) they're not finished yet, and
b) they've done it playing the most exciting, attack-minded football this country has ever seen

over seasons rather than games

going up
going up
going down
going up
going up/down/consolidating (delete as applicable)

I wonder what the most up downs a team has done . . . .ie how long theyve not stayed in the same division for more than one season

Well Arsenal going the whole league season undefeated is an amazing run, but I'll stick with the Albion for now.

Brighton's away form towards the end of the 2001-02 season sticks out in my mind. At one stage we were ten points behind Reading, but managed to overhaul their lead and eventually were crowned champions. Our away form had much to do with it. Weren't we unbeaten for the last ten games and won six of them or something like that?

Also, we went on a very long unbeaten league run from when Peter Taylor took over in October 2001 until some time in January 2002. Great season that!

Apparently Notts County have been promoted and relegated more than any other team.

Didn't Carlisle and Northampton go from Div 4 to Div 1 and straight back again?

Number 1, under the circumstances, all those points behind and unbeatable at home to survive
