    After 30 minutes of tonight's game, Reading were winning 1-0. Had that stayed the score 'til full time, they would have been top of the Championship. With a negative goal difference.

    Surely it can still happen, its only HT and if they win 2-1, they'll go top with -1 GD

    Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan have played more international games than domestic club games.

    Probably a few of the other US players too!

    It could have but it didn't.

    Brentford haven't missed any "in game" penalties for three years - that's 27 consecutive conversions. Both Messi and Ronaldo have both, coincidentally, missed 27 penalties in their careers.

    One that really surprised me……Klopp is the 2nd oldest manager in the Premier League. 

    Only Moyes is older.

    True. And Lopetegui is older so Klopp will be 3rd next week

    That's one of the very few ones I actually had to look up.  That was unbelievable 😳

    Make that 28 consecutive conversions since October 2019. Toney is the best penalty taker I have ever seen - the ability to not have to look at the ball when striking it and watch the keeper move must have taken years of repetition. If it were that easy everyone would be doing it successfully!

    First full round of 10 PL games since the weekend of 18th, 19th and 20th October 2019 where no team has scored more than two goals  I also believe that the 15 goals scored was the equal lowest total but happy to be corrected on that one.

    Since Bournemouth lost 9-0 at Liverpool at the end of August and to all the world looked like absolute relegation certainties, the only unbeaten side in the Premier league are.........Bournemouth.
    This one is ludicrous

    Burnley are top of the Championship, having lost just one game all season. Blackburn are one point behind them, having lost seven games. Coventry are 24th and last, having lost five games. 

    One of those doesn't sound right!!!

    Coventry bottom with minus 5 goal difference, Reading in sixth with same goal difference.
