By my reckoning if @stokecity are still top of the @SkyBetChamp at the end of today, it'll be the first time since 27 April 2008 that they've ended a day top of a league table. At 17 years 3 months 12 days it's the longest such drought among any of the current PL and EFL teams.
Stoke weren't able to end their wait, although they'll get another chance if their game with Sheff Wed goes ahead.
