    James Milner has played 928 apps in senior football: league, cups, Europe and internationals.

    Milner is second to James Vaughan in being the youngest scorer in the Premier League at 16  years 356 days.

    If he can score for Brighton some time until the end of this season he will be in the top 7 oldest scorer's in Premier history.

    Milner was 38 on 4th January.

    Excluding Alfie May, Lloyd Jones' goal against Bolton is our only league goal scored by a member of today's starting XI since George's Dobson's successful effort in the opening game of the season against Orient on 5th August

    I know it’s boring to always refer back to the Powell promotion season, but in that season we had 14 different goalscorers.

    Michael Appletons master plan for preventing us conceding late goals was to make sure we were already beaten before 80 minutes

    Manchester City's goal tonight follows exactly 100 previous unsuccessful attempts on goal at Spurs' new Stadium since it was first built

    Imagine how many of those 100 would have gone in if they were at The Valley...

    Just noticed there’s a full league one programme today.
    Not sure how often no 3rd tier club has made the 4th round of the cup.

    Just goes to show how incredibly average this division is. And how bad we must be!

    Now that’s a proper protest. 

    No ifs, no buts!

    None of the 8 teams that played in the quarter finals of the previous African Cup of Nations in 2021 have reached the quarter finals of this year's tournament.

    Sheffield Wednesday have played 20 Championship matches this season and their top scorer is Michael Smith who stands alone with the "massive" total of three goals. 
    At one point quite a way into the season they got relegated, Brian Kidd was ManUre’s top scorer with low single figures, Alex Stepney was second on two. What’s hard to believe about that? He was the goalie.

    Leicester and Ipswich have made the best ever two starts to a Championship season.




    On PPG, Reading were better.

    Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock H author etc) played in goal for Portsmouth (long time ago) using the name A C Smith .. he also played 'first class' cricket for the M C C 
    Apart from being writers, being a ‘keeper is what he and Albert Camus have in common.

    Sorry lost me there.

    Apparently tonight is the first time that Reading have won in midweek, and not against a team beginning with the Letter: "B" since 2014
