Last time we lost four home league games on the spin?

After the Everton game.

The last time it happened we had been top of the table a week or two before. Then Keegan's Fulham, two divisions below, beat us at home in the FA Cup, Collymore got depressed and bad vibes descended on all of our souls.

After topping the table pretty much from day one until the New Year we had the run of 10 league games without a win. The Fulham game was between the 4 game home losing streak. IIRC weren't we 5 or 6 points clear at the top at one point?

That season still leaves a pretty bitter taste, if only Doug would've sanctioned the extra 500k for Juninho.

Yes we were - 6 points clear at the beginning of October and still 3 ahead of Man U after the famous 3-2 against Arsenal in December

Hopefully we stop the rot of losing at home by beating Everton at home.

Perhaps if the Chelsea and Swansea results were swapped, this would then have apparently fitted into our season plan of trying to only beat weaker teams in the league. The fact we beast Yelsea means the Swansea defeat has now hit us with more of a wallop.

Meanwhile, we were actually pretty good against Arsenal and Stoke, and superb away to Chelsea.  A good performance prior to this away to an admittedly poor Bolton and a resolute performance away to Swansea.

I genuinely felt after Stoke away that we'd turned a corner, felt vindicated in this on leaving Stamford Bridge, and yesterdays debacle does nothing to change it.

Its not often you'll get Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal in a row at home.

[frank]

Still very annoyed about our performance last night, but I'd rather have the win at Chelsea and the defeat by Swansea than the other way round.

[mrfuse]

It would be nice not to be losing before 20 minutes. We seem to gift side a head start at home of late.

To be honest the worst thing for me is not that we concede early but the fact that once we concede we never look like or are willing to fight back
