SUNDERLAND CLUB RECORDS:

Longest run of defeats: Was 9 in all competitions (November 23 1976 to January 15 1977). Current squad have 13 in a row in all competitions (February 8 2003-today), and 15 in a row in league (January 18-today).

Longest run without a win: Was 14 games. Current squad have not won a game inside 90 minutes for 25 games since beating Liverpool on December 15. Counting FA Cup games they last won in open play 18 games ago, beating Bolton 2-0 in extra-time in the FA Cup third round (January 14), and triumphed over Blackburn on penalties in the next round (February 5) 13 matches ago.

Worst start as manager: Was Lawrie McMenemy who lost first 5 games and was without a win in his first 7. Mick McCarthy has lost his first 9.

It could get even worse: Worst losing streak in history of English league football is 18 games, set by Darwen in Division Two in 1898-99. If Sunderland lost their first three in Division One next season, they will equal that record.

BBC End of term report - sunderland

HIGHS: A rare - very, very rare - home win against and a win away at Leeds early in the season.

LOWS: The period encompassing August until May, especially the Howard Wilkinson months, encapsulated by three own goals at home to Charlton.

PLAYER: Not exactly a rush for this award, but young Sean Thornton at least offers hope for the future.

MANAGER: Peter Reid's reign had run its course, the ridiculous reign of Howard Wilkinson should never have started, and the credits had rolling by the time Mick McCarthy turned up.

VERDICT: Fully deserving the accolade of the worst team in Premiership history. McCarthy likes a battle - and he has certainly got one on his hands in the First Division next season.

those records r gonna take sum beating!!!

I know im sure they will try and break them if they ever come back up thou

if being a very loose word there!! i've had a makem telling me all morning that they'll b straight back up!! - that in itself ia a good joke!
