Portsmouth have the worst losing run at the start of the season.
But whether they have the worst ever start to a season depends on how you define "start".
When does the start of the season end?
4 games?
6 games?
10 games?
20 games?

Nobody mentioned anything about not including draws either. Nobody mentioned how we should measure what is the worst "start" at all.
It's the most consecutive defeats from the start of the season since the Premiership has begun, you can say that, sure.
Saying it's the worst start, could be said for many things, Derby only got something like 6 pts from their first 19 games, that was a pretty horendous start. That could be said to be the worst start if you weer measuring in 19 games, Leicester lost to Bolton 5-0 on the opening day, that would be a worst start than Portsmouth's if you just count a start as 1 game.
You could also say the start is the longest run without winning in which case I can guarentee Portsmouth aren't there yet.

Just got back from the pub watching the Manchester derby.
Good to see Owen scoring maybe he is not done yet like so many have said he might be. Good for England to have options.
City have to be feeling pretty raw though 6 mins stoppage what the feck was that all about. I though 4 was excessive okay subs takes up some of that time.
I cheered for City when they got it back to 3-3.
Jammy united yet again.

I'm no ManUtd fan but I'd much rather see them do well than ManCity, who embody everything I despise about the current game. I cheered when Owen scored. 
And good on him too, I'd like to see him getting back firing with the World Cup coming up.

While I understand where you are coming from and agree with you, Manure were in the same situation when they dominated the Premier through their financial clout. (Oh and before any closet Manure fans start to claim I'm jealous of their success, I've disliked them since the early 70s when they were s**t, main reason summed up by todays game, anyone else spot the "Grimsby Reds" flag? Tossers.)

Its accepted that in these situations that play continues until United score.

Cynic. :icon_wink
Sadly it seems true.
We were on the wrong end of it a few years ago in that opening day 2-2 draw.

I remember that well. Sat outside our house in the car waiting for the final whistle to go. Missus came out to see what I was doing as I'd been out there for ages.

Every goal Liverpool have conceded this season,apart from Penalties, has come from a set piece.Benitez still sticks with the awful zonal marking

I was out today so missed the game. I never normally watch MOTD2 but really looking forward to it tonight.

I think the record they have set is just a Premier League record, rather than a top-flight one.
I too heard them say this on MotD. In fact it's not true - they have only *equalled* our 6-game losing run at the start of the 1983/84 season. And I'm not even sure that was a record.

I work in Preston with a couple of PNE fans and they detest him for going to Burnley.
Quite like Burnley,one thing I noticed is if you walk around Burnley Town Centre then you see lots of people in Burnley shirts and not Man Utd shirts like you do in Blackburn etc.I'm still bitter with Blackburn fans over them beating us in that play off final and making me cry that afternoon
