Last night (Tuesday) we broke Middlesbrough unbeaten home record, in fact they were unbeaten for16 games at the Riverside since losing to last season's league leaders QPR in February this year.
Apparently it was also Big Sam's first management career win at the Riverside also which is surprising considering the teams he has managed.
It bought West Ham's consecutive wins to four but also a record of six wins and one draw out of seven totalling 29 points from a maximum 31 in our last 7 league games. Only the mighty Bristol City have held us to a draw recently.
The last time we won four league games in a row was the great escape of 2007 when we won our last four games of the season with help of Carlos Tevez and a last gasp win at Manchester United away.
Before than it was the last time in we dropped to championship in 2003 when we won 4 league games back to back early on in the season.
If we continue the winning streak to five games by beating Burnley this Saturday we will be heading to towards our 2006 run of 7 back to back wins between January & February.
Beyond that we enter boys of 1986 territory. They won 9 back to back games between October and December 1985. They also had another run of 6 back to back wins in the same season.
It still it seems a strange feeling winning the majority of the time but a feeling I could get used to.
Come on you irons
