(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) A trivial thing in the grand scheme of things, but at least Roma fans can now say that they have a bigger consecutive win streak than those drugged dozers. I am more interested in seeing just how long can this good run last for the Romans. Because, well, they get into the 15 range, and the glory gets all that near! |

I think it's 9 consecutive wins out of the traps. Meaning 9 out of 9 so far in the league which only Juve have done previously

Meaning 9 out of 9 so far in the league which only Juve have done previously What do you mean by 'out of the traps'? Anyway, it's about the first games of the season. From day one until whenever a team stops winning. So far the record is held by Juve in 05/06 and Roma right now. This post has been edited by X-Offender: Oct 28 2013, 05:22 PM |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) A relatively obscure English expression, but it's not exactly about starting something quickly. Instead, I believe it's origin is from horse racing. The way the race horses get out of their wooden enclosures (traps) at the sound of the gun. In simpler terms it means right out of the block, from zero to whatever. And well 11 wins out of 11 is quite good whichever way one looks at it, full chemistry, a cohesive unit. Rare sight. |

Yeah I was going to put in horse races as an example, but if you look it up online it's usually defined as "starting out quickly" |

And shut it, the "t" is near the "r", it's not my fault, total typo |
