I just read this with my bus literally going past their ground, lolDyerConsequences said:3 teams have scored 7 goals in an FA Cup game and not won.
2 of them were against Dulwich Hamlet. The other team was Dulwich Hamlet.
Dulwich Hamlet 8-7 St Albans
Dulwich Hamlet 7-7 Wealdstone2 -
That's a cracking fact. Spare a thought for Wilf Minter who scored all seven for St Albans and still lost.DyerConsequences said:3 teams have scored 7 goals in an FA Cup game and not won.

Kasper Schmeichel is playing his 100th game tonight (friendly vs Switzerland).
He’s had 45 clean sheets and let 82 goals in.
When his dad Peter had played 100 games, he had 45 clean sheets and had let 82 goals in.13 -
In 152 years of international football the two fastest ever goals were both scored on the same day yesterday.
Christoph Baumgartner scored after 6 seconds for Austria v Slovakia.
Later in the evening Florian Wirtz scored after 7 seconds for Germany v France.11 -

The commentator said that Kasper was playing his match number 100 and that he’d kept 45 clean sheets and let 82 goals in. Exactly the same as his dad after 100 games.
So would be 46 clean sheets. Not that crazy a stat after all I guess…

Was Deano ever flagged offside?2

Looking online it seems the Giroud one isn't true.
He did however play every game at the 2018 World Cup without having a shot on target, which is pretty amazing for the main centre forward in a team that won the tournament.2 -
I’m just waiting for the player that beats the first one by being flagged minus 1 times in their entire career.oohaahmortimer said:Don’t know if this has been posted before or if they’re true … if so , madness !1 -
Zidane one is false as well. He was caught offside in the semi final against Man Utd and against Barcelona.0

Interesting that they specifically say “as a defender”; obviously was a filthy fecker when playing at centre-forward.Scoham said:

This one is true, but exaggerated. It was a 24 game streak that covered a period of 14 months. Still impressive.AddicksAddict said:

It's now over a year and 61 games since Rodri was last on the losing side. 53 of those games were for City and 8 for Spain and during that period those teams lost 6 of the 17 matches that he didn't play in. It's also 63 matches since City were beaten with him in the team which was the 1-0 defeat to Spurs on 5th February 2023.1

Last season, Forest Green and Ipswich were in the same league.Next season, Forest Green could be in the National League, and Ipswich could be in the Premier League.9

Well I wasn't far off. Ipswich set to finish on 96 points to go with 98 last season. 194 points across two seasons and no silverware. Some kind of record surely.

Even with the actual Messiah managing us, not just the new one, 194 points next season would be a bit of a stretch.9goalswentpastperry said:

Brackley Town have lost in the play-offs 6 seasons out of the last 7.
The 7th season was when the league was cancelled because of Covid.4 -
One I heard yesterday. Everton started 9 English players against Luton last night. The last 45 times a Premier League team has had 9+ English players in the starting lineup, the manager of that team was Sean Dyche.8
