This might be the closest in time I've ever experienced posting the same thing as someone else :lol: You got there a few split seconds before me, even with the added personal anecdote – I tip my hat to you, good sir

Just chatting with a mate, we think that if Newcastle beat Arsenal at the emirates, it will be the first time an English team has beat another in the top flight 4 x in 1 season in competitive games.

 

PL era possible but would be good to see if this is true for all time. Anyone know?

Be loads of ones with League Cup semis I reckon.

 

For example a quick check finds Man City 2013/14 beat West Ham 4 times (including 9-0 on agg in the League Cup).

 

We also beat Southampton four times when we got to the final in 2022/23.

We've done it this season with Leicester.

A better question would probably be whether a team has beat another one 5 or more times. I've checked the big CL match ups between English clubs and non of them seem to have happened.

 

I thought Inter might have done it to Milan two seasons ago (home and away in CL semi, supercoppa and league) but Milan won the home league fixture.

Would be happy playing Leicester 37 times. 

 

Spurs can beat us for the fourth time if we were both to get into the Europa final.

What's the most you could have, in theory? 

 

2 x league

1 x FA Cup

2 x League Cup (semis)

2 x European tie (two-legged knockout)

 

7...

 

Could it be 3 in Europe with the new group system? Or are domestic sides strictly kept apart from each other in that?
