What a ridiculous arguement, Vardy holds the record for the most PL games scored in a row.
That is a matter of fact, people always have to have something to moan about.
Man United have the most PL titles - no one moans about this
Alan Shearer 260 PL goals - another PL statistic, funny how none of you moany beeetches care about these facts?

It is strange that something so easily identifiable as a time frame seems to cause such outrage.
Just imagine if Vardy is a Spurs player then the plight of this article.

A first for Kane

Apparently, man of the moment Harry Kane is the first Spurs player to ever score in 6 successive away premier league games. Well done Harry!
Imagine for a moment what this season would have been like had we not had Kane, Eriksen and lloris- probably mid-table. A lot of teams have crucial players and I really hope we can keep llloris and Eriksen for next season, I think Kane could be our Alan shearer, stay because he loves the club. Unfortunately lloris and Eriksen may be in demand in the summer. But if we want to kick on we need to keep them

Kane - Few Facts

COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE
Didn't start his first PL game or score his first PL goal til November, he is now the PL top scorer with 19.
He's scored more goals in Jan Feb & March than any player in PL history.
Since January he's scored more goals on his own than several entire PL teams have managed.
One more goal and he'll be the first Spurs player since Klinnsman to score 30 goals in a season.
Talking about "PL records" simply creates nice little marketing opportunities that would be harder to come by if you took into account the entire history of the top flight.
Vardy's scoring record is fantastic and should be honoured for what it is.
However, I also agree that the media and far too many Johnny-come-lately fans in the UK, fawning and slobbering at the feet of the Premier League executives and TV companies, pay little or no respect to the history of the game in Britain prior to 1992 almost as though it is of no consequence and didn't exist.
Nevertheless, congratulations to Jamie Vardy on his achievement. It could be quite some time before anyone tops that.
What is the biggest cliche on 606?
The the premier league is the best league in the world or people that acknowledge premier league records don't think football existed before 1992?
Tough one.
Football was invented by a chap in 1992. Before that nothing of note happened. Not even in 89 at Anfield.
What is the point of this article? I don't recall anyone proclaiming that Vardy's achievement is an English record, but a Premier League one.
It seems to me that the OP and one or two other posters are getting slightly nogalstic and defensive for no reason whatsoever.
Does that mean Liverpool have never won the league then.

Why would I research it when it was not me who used the NBA as some sort of evidence?
----------------------------------------------
You're the one who was keen to dig a little deeper into the history of the NBA. Go ahead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you want to make a point, but others to try and prove it for you?
Won't happen because it is an irrelevant, and erroneous, point.
-----------------------------------------------------
True. I used the NBA to illustrate a point, and did so effectively. It was relevant to the debate to use it and it was in no way erroneous.
You wanted further research on the history of the USA basketball leagues, I didn't. You check it out if you want to.
Tell you what, if you've got some other work or assignments you want doing and can't be bothered to do them yourself, just send them my way. We can discuss payment options....

No I didn't. I wanted you to acknowledge that you were wrong, but that doesn't seem likely.
Basketball wasn't invented in 1946!
^ When did I say that?????
Read my post again.
Then you can do the further research YOU asked for.
Puts a theory forward and then refuses to answer any questions about it
The NBA was pre-dated by two leagues. To say it acknowledges records only back to 1946 is like saying English top flight football should only regard football since 1992.
If you want to put theories forward at least try and back them up when people question them, rather than saying 'do your own research' because you have been found to be wrong.

Not sure if you're laughing at yourself here. You should be.
My post about the NBA was used to illustrate a point about the constant nature of their all-time records.
As I stated, the NBA's inaugural season was in 1946-47.
Now, the NBA, as a franchise, has gone through a number of changes over the years in terms of mergers, team additions, teams folding, team name changes etc but the records referred to include the achievements of all teams / players dating from it's inaugural 1946 season to the current one. They are all-time, regular season records.
Now for the history part - just so it's clear:
The NBA recognises records from its original incarnation, the Basketball Association of America (BAA). The league was founded in New York City on June 6, 1946, as the Basketball Association of America (BAA). The league adopted the name National Basketball Association on August 3, 1949, after merging with its rival National Basketball League (NBL).
On November 1, 1946, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Toronto Huskies hosted the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens, in a game the NBA now regards as the first played in its history.
So to summarise, the NBA all-time records officially date back to 1946, despite many changes within it's structure. It didn't get rebranded in the 1990s to become the "Premier Basketball Assocation" and decide to make a distinction between PBA records and the previous NBA all-time records.
That's my point.
And it was YOU who wanted to know more about the history of basketball in the USA, not me. I was just referring to the NBA and it's all time records which , as we have seen, date back to it's inaugural 1946 season.
If you wanted to find out more on the subject, it's entirely up to you. Good luck!
Who's wrong????
But the premier league isn't a merger it's a seperate entity so it's not a relevant point.
