Winning...for now. The Northeast Optimism Records thread.

Right, there's far too much giddy positivity flying about at the moment, this isn't like us - our forebears must be rustling in their graves at the heights of unfettered hyperbole being voiced just because we are not currently bottom of the league.

So to get us back to our roots, here are our current achievements properly grounded in Aberdonian pragmatism. Some key milestones so far:

Wins: we've secured enough wins to avoid beating the all-time record for fewest in a season (7 wins, 1916-17).  So just joint holders for now.

Points: In a similar vein, we've successfully dodged the tag of worst points total ever (21 points, 1904-5, 1916-17).  Some way to go for the comparable 3points-a-win season record though (34 points, 2003-4), so don't get too carried away.

Managers (league wins):  Jimmy Thelin (7 in 8 ) is officially better than Neil Warnock (0 in 6), and is steadily closing in on such managerial behemoths as Stephen Glass (9 in 29), Alex Miller (10 in 38). and Jim Goodwin (11 in 35).

So well done Aberdeen... for now.
