Update:
Ipswich have just let in their first goal since 11th February and after some 950 without conceding. Shame because it would have been good for us to be the ones to stop that run!
On 2nd October 2018 we lost 5-3 to Scunthorpe in League 1 with a team containing the likes of Steer, Solly, Pearce, Sarr, Fosu-Henry, Aribo, Pratley, Grant, Cullen, Taylor, Vetokele and Dijksteel all playing for us.
Next season Scunthorpe will be in the National League North.

Isn't that the game that both Cullen and Vetokele broke their collar bones?
Didn't Pratley play at center half with Pearce and Sarr at left back?

No that was our 2-0 away win at Walsall. Page got injured after 5 minutes against Scunthorpe and was replaced by Dijksteel. Culllen played the full game and Vetokele came on as sub.

On 22nd October QPR were top of the Championship. Their then Manager, Michael Beale, turned down a PL job at Wolves because of the "project" that he wanted to continue there but shortly afterwards took the other Rangers Manager's position.
If Reading had not had their six point deduction then QPR would now be one place and one point off the relegation zone with the third bottom side, Cardiff, needing just one point from their game in hand to leapfrog them. Given that they have won just two of their last 26 games it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that QPR will still go down.

They were also the 1st club we played in a league match after relegation from the Premier League.
Another side heading for regional football are Yeovil, we last met in 2014 in the Championship.
Surely the club with the biggest roller coaster of a ride in recent history has to be Luton Town. From the top tier in 1991/92 to Conference in 2013/14 to, potentially, back to the top tier in 2023/24.

There's a guy there, Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, who if they go up could be the first guy to play in every league down to the National League for the same club.
Phil Foden is the first player to score a hat-trick in the Manchester derby since Erling Haaland, nine minutes earlier.
It's also the first premier league double hat trick against anyone other than Southampton. Also the first one without someone who's name isn't pronounced Perez.
It's the first premier league double hat trick without someone who isn't called Perez? So it's the first one with someone called Perez? What does this mean?! I've spent the last 6 months trying to understand this.

A Linguistics professor was lecturing his class.
"In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
Roy Keane played 440 English league games, every single one of them under a European Cup winning manager.
Its also true of Giggs, Scholes and Neville but they only played for one club under one manager
Fergie wasn't a European Cup winning manager until 1999 though. So Keane's first 6 years at Man U weren't under a European Cup winning manager.
To be fair, Ferguson had won the European Cup Winners Cup and European Super Cup whilst at Aberdeen prior to going to Manchester United. It might not be ‘The European Cup’ as it were, but they certainly were European cups.
The first game I was taken to was in 1954/55 season against Huddersfield town. From memory we won 1-0. My last game before we left for Australia was on 13/4/1963 against Huddersfield town. We won 2-1. Same team and we won by a goal each time.

They play each other on Monday, the latter have a game in hand regardless...
They've both scored the same amount of goals, Wrexham have conceded three more than Notts County
Yet only one of them is guaranteed to win promotion
I imagine one would become the first side not to win promotion with 100+ points if they fail in the Play-Offs

Didn't Pratley play at center half with Pearce and Sarr at left back?
Notts County may well beat that and still not win the league.

They won only 4 games last season. 8 games this season.
12, 10, 13, 4 & 8 wins making a grand total of 47 wins in 5 seasons.

See. We had nothing to fear.
