    Brereton Diaz didn't score as these South Americans aren't used to playing that way.

    49-1 in the end. Crazy
    Didn’t see the game, but out of interest, did Swansea’s cross lead to their goal?
    Yes it did. 1 cross, 1 goal. 

    And of Blackburn’s 49 crosses just 10 found a Blackburn player. 
    I’m not sure what the average cross success would be but 20% seems low.

    You’d think after 40 odd failures they might have tried another tactic.

    Pre match talk..."right lads, put in plenty of crosses"
    Post match talk ..."FFS, why didn't we mix it up a bit..."

    Newcastle have conceded an own goal tonight, Lascelles scoring for Everton after a Holgate effort on goal.

    Man United v Fulham under Moyes. I'll look it up later.

    Fulham's goal difference is better than 2nd, 3rd and 4th combined.

    And only 2 goals off being the same as 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th combined.

    If Bournemouth (2nd in the league) had kept a clean sheet in every game this season they would still have a worse GD than Fulham.

    Rangers are just the second team to score four goals away to Borussia Dortmund in European football.

    The other one is Legia Warsaw.

    Lukaku only touched the ball twice in the first half - and one of them was at the kick off!!!!

    The US womens team are currently 3-0 up at half time against NZ, with a hat trick from Meikayla Moore.

    Nothing untoward there i hear you say, well Moore is actually a centre back for NZ and has got a hat trick of own goals in the first half!!

    In their last 12 games and more than 1,100 minutes of football, only one goal has been scored by a Leyton Orient player. That player was Darren Pratley and it was his one and only goal for them.

    Let's re-sign him then as he's scored a goal.

    Ravel Morrison, described by Alex Ferguson in his book as the most talented kid he'd ever seen, scored twice today for Derby. The last time he scored a goal in a league game in England was at the age of 21 - almost eight years ago on 12th April 2014 for QPR against Forest in the Championship.

    Burnley are in the relegation zone having lost 11 of their 26 games - the same number as Wolves who are 8th and pushing for a European qualifying place
