    Crystal Palace played their 32rd game of the season against Newcastle on the 4th Jan 26.
    According to MOTD.

    During 1993/1994 season Charlton had already played 25 league games , 2 Coca - Cola cup games and 6 Anglo-Italian cup games Jan3rd making 33 games played.

    A people complain we play to much football now.
  • During the Spurs vs Liverpool game today
    Bradley got replaced by Isak on 46'... Isak got replaced by Frimpong on 60'...Frimpong got replaced by Chiesa on 90'
    I know Isak was injured after scoring
    But can't be many times in the past where the subtitute has been subtituted that many times?
    Good stat! I can only recall witnessing that happen once before - England Slovakia 2009.

    Emile Heskey replaced by Carlton Cole (15)
    Carlton Cole replaced by Peter Crouch (35)
    Peter Crouch replaced by Michael Carrick (74)

    In both games, the player in the chain of substituted players wearing number 9 - Isak & Heskey - scored the opening goal of the match.

    If West Ham and Wolves are both relegated from the top flight and none of Watford, West Brom or Wrexham are promoted it will mean there are no sides beginning with the letter W in the top flight of English football for the first time ever.

    That will leave A as the only letter that has been represented in every season.
