    John Marquis has EQUALLED the record for quickest Red Card in English Professional Football, with the quickest only in 2000

    Peterborough 3-1 Shrewsbury: John Marquis 13-second red card equals record - BBC Sport

    I'd be pretty pissed off at that, I mean if you're getting sent off that early, you'd want it to be the quickest wouldnt you?

  • Huddersfield havent scored in their last ten home games

    And their last home goal was scored by someone who doesnt even play for them anymore. But still their unbeaten run goes back to the time of the Dinosaurs, and when Crystal Palace were considered a historic Football Club.

    I thought everyone knew that dinosaurs were extinct when Crystal Palaeolithic were formed in the early stone age

    It's six games. Last goal was 29 December.

    Their run since then is 0-0, 0-1, 0-1, 0-0, 0-1, 0-1.

    I loved him,
    then I hated him,
    and now I love him again. 

  • Shamrocks Rovers finished their European Conference league game last night with two players born in 2009.
    They must have been knackered. 
  • Jurgen Klopp managed 491 games in charge of Liverpool, but his most used starting lineup only started together FIVE times.

    Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Keita, Wijnaldum, Milner, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

    In his first season, Slot has gone past that by starting the same XI together 6 times.

  • Charlton arent the only team who play at a Ground with "The Valley"; but there is also Redditch United who play at "The Valley Stadium"
  • Manchester City Women appointment Nick Cushing as their interim head coach on 10th March. His first four fixtures will all be against Chelsea (League Cup final today, two legs of the Champions League quarter final and a league fixture).
  • Reading were 8th ten games ago... They've not lost a game since, winning four, and drawing six... They're still 8th
  • West Ham's Jarrod Bowen's partner is Dani, Danny Dyer's daughter, show biz meets sports biz

    Fair play to you, Lincs, if this is new news to you. I wish I didn't know such inane trivia.
  • They’ve been together four  or five years and have couple of kids. 

    After he scored winner when they won the euro cup they had video of the players singing

    Bowen’s on fire 
    and he’s shagging Dani Dyer

    Unbelievable, I agree, principally because it’s not true…

    I think it is true:

    Palace 0-2
    Fulham 0-2
    Spurs 2-1
    Everton 0-4
    Arsenal 0-2
    Brentford 0-4
    West Ham 0-2
    Chelsea 0-1
    Man Utd 0-3

    They have also lost their last 7 home games without scoring a goal in any of them. That is a new PL record.

    Just looked at their fixtures and the gulf in class from PL to Championship stood out with the fact that Leicester (who are terrible) played QPR (average champ side, not good but not that bad) in the FA Cup and beat them 6-2.

    Edit.

    I misread the fact, thinking it meant that the two goals had been scored in separate matches.

    There was no need for me to make that interpretation, other than the fact that, in that context, it might have qualified as "doesn't sound true but [is]", whereas the fact as stated does sound true. They've only scored in one of their last 9 matches. That it was two goals in one game against Tottenham isn't an element that makes it sound untrue. 
  • Bradford's crowd of 23,381 for their 4-1 win against Colchester in League 2 on Saturday is more than double the capacity of Premier League Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium. 
  • I'm going to assume Bradford coming back means American ownership 
  • Huddersfield are one of only 3 teams Charlton have played at least one competitive fixture against every decade since we entered the football league.

    The other 2 are Bolton and Portsmouth.

    We have also so far played Wolves at least once every decade except for the 2020's. So 4 1/2 years left to keep that going.
    Cheers, I like this one. I shall remember it.
