AJAX scored 13 goals away to VVV Venlo last night set a new match record for the league.
On the other hand no other club had scored 13 goals during the season in total which for some clubs is 6 matches.

The first Football League substitute to score a goal (Bobby Knox of Barrow v Wrexham - on the same day that our Keith made greater history) was also the first substitute to save a penalty (four months later in the season v Doncaster).
He then went on to join Melchester Rovers and famously substituted for Roy Race when the mecurial marksman was kidnapped for the tenth time.
(I made the last bit up).4 -

More worryingly for Wales - they also have a starter who doesn't make our first 11.ForeverAddickted said:

I made a mental note tonight when Brendan Rodgers boasted that one of his players could jump as high as the stadium.
I immediately dismissed this of course, but I (possibly due to my second whisky) made a link to 1974 (or thereabouts) to the Leeds player Duncan McKenzie who could jump over a mini car. He also could throw a golf ball the length of the pitch.
Here is the proof.
Apologies if this has already been posted.

Paul Dickov once played under 7 different managers before New Years Eve one season.
Started at Arsenal, and a his manager got sacked (not sure who it was). Bruce Rioch came in and then he was sold a few days later to Man City and signed by by Alan Ball. He was sacked shortly after that and a combination of Asa Hartford, Steve Coppell, Phil Neal, Frank Clark meant they had 5 managers in the space of a season including a couple of Caretaker Managers.
7 managers in around half a season....and we thought we were a mess a while ago2 -
Neymar has so far played in less league games in 3 and a half years at PSG than he did in his first 2 years at Barcelona (and he missed nearly a quarter of games for those 2 seasons in Spain).0
