All last week it seemed nobody at the all-conquering Brisbane Roar really wanted to talk about records. And fair enough too, if you're a part of a winning team you really don't want to jinx these things.

As for me, well I'm not part of the team. I merely support them with a fervour bordering on the pathological. Hence, I believe I can safely discuss records without jinxing anyone or anything.

Just to be safe however, let me assure you I have crossed my fingers and toes, knocked on wood, said "white rabbit" and kissed an Irishman who assured me his name was Blarney Stone.

You can't be too careful, you know.

So, with no further adieu I present a few of the records I would like to see my beloved Brisbane Roar break over the remainder season.

Most Goals In A Season
Current Holder - Sergio van Dijk

This may be a poisoned chalice since it appears that whoever claims the most Roar goals in any particular season ends up leaving Brisbane-town. Alex Brosque, Dario Vidosic, the aforementioned van Dijk, and even the oft-maligned Reinaldo all departed for seemingly greener pastures.

Although come to think of it, Reinaldo was shipped back almost immediately in a leaky and cramped crate with the Korean equivalent of ‘return to sender' scrawled upon the side. Perhaps a ‘fragile' sticker and some packing foam would've been better since he was returned injured and a mere husk of the confident marksman that finally put it all together in the semi-final against Sydney only months earlier. But I digress.

You see in a twist of logic I believe we can make this poisoned chalice work for us rather than against us. If Jean Carlo Solorzano, who is on-loan from LD Alajuelense, happens to claim the mantle this season (and many suggest he will) he just might defect to our sunny corner of the world rather than leave it.

And if he doesn't move here permanently, then at least I can claim that all luck is merely a fallacy and that by blogging about records I have not in any way prevented them being broken.

Largest Home Attendance
Current Holders - 36,499 drenched fanatics and band wagoners

I don't want to sound like a grizzled Vietnam veteran but if you don't remember that night then it is because you weren't there, man.

Actually, come to think of it, nearly everybody that ever considered attending a game up to that point seemed to be in attendance. So I guess you probably were there. My apologies.

Anyway, as the rain fell and kick-off was delayed I was one of the fool-hardy and fashion-unconscious that converted a garbage bag into a poncho and braved the elements. I swear I could see the corporate-types drinking Crown Lager in their fancy boxes high above laughing at me despite the zero visibility conditions.

But despite that, I would do it all again if given half the chance. Which surely we Brisbane Roar fans will since this summer it seems that finals qualification is an all-but-foregone conclusion and rainfall patterns resembling the 1974 floods are afoot.

Of course, we may need another opponent since Sydney FC will have a tough time of qualifying based on this season's form. So, who should it be and when?

Personally, I hope we notch the new record in a dream grand final against the club with no friends from just down the M1 simply because it would be nice if they could have a chance at playing in a full stadium just once in their pitiful existence.

Most Appearances
Current Holder - Matt McKay

Firstly, let me be clear that I don't want this record to actually change hands. I just want the number of games played by current holder McKay to continue to accumulate.

You see, McKay's contract is up at the end of the current campaign and despite strong rumours that he will re-sign before the end of the year, I just want to let it be known that I don't want him to leave. Ever.

In fact I want him to play 150, then 200 and perhaps even as many as 300 games for the club for no other reason than I want to see how long it will take the Roar marketing department to implement my customised M&Ms idea from last week's blog.

Is that selfish? Certainly, but as long as Matty keeps running from box-to-box like Tiger Woods on a Viagra bender, are you really going to complain?  Of course not.

Biggest Victory
Current Holder - 5-0 vs New Zealand Knights

This record needs to be broken simply because notching five goals against the beleaguered Un-Zud Knights was about as easy as scoring 500 runs against the current Australian bowling attack at the ‘Gabba.

What? Too soon?  Cry me a river, Australia.

Now, when it comes to goal-fests I don't think we can be too picky who it is against. However, let me assure you that if we do fail to break this record this season I will be the first to look into how much it would cost to bring the American Samoa national team over for next year's Roar Against Racism fixture.

Just a note, early submissions from junior clubs are advised if seeking Goals for Grassroots money from that particular fixture.  As is an off-shore tax-haven to hold it.

Of course I am well aware that I do not speak for everyone that follows this club. So post your comments my loyal and handsome readers and tell me what Roar records you would like to see fall this season.

And if you're worried about jinxes, I'm sure I could find you the phone number of the hostel that Blarney Stone bloke is staying at.  You know, just in case.
