    There's a guy at Stuttgart, Guirassy, who's got 11 in 6 games so far this season - 10 in 5 in the league.

    Currently on track to get 76 league goals this season.

    Chelsea will sign him and put an end to that.

    Nah, they don't sign strikers, just 4 of every other position.

    Their next match is at home to 2nd bottom Fleetwood. Is this finally their moment….

    Who did Cheltenham sell their goal scorer to?

    As you have all had the chance

    Yesterday was the first time in over 10 years that United and City both lost a 3pm kick off on a Saturday.

    The same bloke who last scored a goal for them in the League. Against us in fact in the 88th minute of the final match of last season.

    In fact, no Cheltenham player has scored in any competition for them this season (12 matches and almost 20 hours of football) as they lost 2-0 against Birmingham in the League Cup and their only goal in their 4-1 defeat in the Football League Trophy against Lincoln was an own goal.

    Hope they've scored a goal before we play them at the end of November.

    They've now equalled the EFL record of most consecutive games (11) without scoring.

    Record is jointly held by:

    Coventry - 1919-20
    Hartlepool - 1992-93

    The English side with the longest ever unbeaten run in Europe is............David Moyes' West Ham.

    Tonight they became the first English side in history to go 17 consecutive games in European competition unbeaten
