Tonight's result is significant, since it means we now have 42 wins to their 41 in local Derby's. It's taken a few years to nudge ahead, but finally we are officially and statistically SUPERIOR - again!
How long before we meet again?

I know it's only been six minutes since you posted that, but **** it.

BUMP!!!

Maybe we should "bump" it every 6 minutes!
Edit: Damn 2 seconds too late!
Still a good read though!

Well isn't that a very nice stat. Just another reason to enjoy a routine win over the neighbours

Also,this 7 game run is now the longest unbeaten run against them.

Happy days!

Biggest away win in a derby in almost 20 years.

Unbeaten in almost 10.

Superior in every way.

take a look back through Rovers stats for the last time they got 2 consecutive wins at Turf Moor; it was a very, very long time ago.

Every seven minutes seems more apt.

Nice post

I think it will be a long number of years (short of the luck of a numbered ball being pulled out of a bag) before anybody has the chance to alter that 42/41 stat one way or the other as well.

The Ferrari has hit a tree and set on fire, and the Mini has had some go faster stripes added and a big f**k off exhaust fitted.

This is going to get a fair few likes!

I make it the biggest win at Ewood since New Year's Day 1966.

Happy days!

Only a complete tw@t overcompensating for his tiny pecker would be seen driving a Ferrari over a Mini.

Lovely stuff

Wasn't aware of this record, that we have nosed ahead again.

Should be longer as the last two, before the 7 undefeated, we were robbed.

Sorry to p!ss on everybody's bonfire, but according to Wiki, it's 41 each.

Another interesting stat though is that while B@stards fans will inevitably trott out their "35 years" thing, in terms of actual games we're only one behind that sequence - now 7 unbeaten against 8.

Hopefully we'll get them in the FA Cup as well!!!

The 0-2 at the turf is the only east lancs derby I've attended.

Is that the Kevin ball game? We

Yep. As pointless a derby then as they are now. The gap too much between. The last decent derby was with Sam in charge of us and coyle as your boss. The 3-2.

The last decent derby was just a few hours ago. We won 2-0

and that includes a 35 year break...

Fact.

The cream always rises to the top and we are certainly the cream right now

Yeah, but which team has had the most draws?

BFCmaj wrote:Yeah, but which team has had the most draws?

Just spent a couple of hours trawling through the stats and they've had 1 more draw than us, but that was down to Dunn's big fat offside arse.

5 straight victories too

thje gulf in class is now massive, last night was a great little reminder of how far we have come

If you just count League, FA Cup and League Cup matches it's 41 a piece with 18 draws, which makes last night's match the 100th such meeting.
There's the two Anglo Scottish Cup matches in 1976 and 1977 - a win for Burnley and a draw - and a load of Lancashire cup matches and friendlies which aren't included in the stats.

Anglo-Scottish Cup matches are officially recognized as competitive fixtures, and stats should be included along with FA Cup, League Cup etc.
There were - in fact- sanctions for clubs who didn't play a recognised first 11.
The 2 Anglo-Scottish ties are therefore correctly included, and that makes it 42, 41, 19, though Blackburn fans are still trying to work out if they have more draws than us.

Which is where Rovers fans live.

Our strongest rivals are now Stanley.

God knows what they'll do to bastards next year!

7 unbeaten. Joint 2nd longest unbeaten streak in the head-to-head. Longest is 11 which Rovers acheived from 1982 and 2010

Longest winning streak is 6, also held by Rovers. Our first 6 matches from 1888 to 1890. currently we've won 4 in a row.

We have 3 consecutive clean sheets against them too. That has previously only been acheived by either team twice. Rovers acheived 3 consecutive clean sheets from 2000-2005 and we managed 4 from 1898-1899
