Surprised at James as keepers don't usually tend to get nominated but the other 3 yes.North Lower Neil said:
Would you think they'd been amongst the 6 best players in a season though?colthe3rd said:
Not that weird, good but not world class players having the best season of their career plus one who sorted a lot of brown envelopes for referees.North Lower Neil said:David James, Andy Johnson, James Beattie and Adam Lallana have all been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award.
2 are strikers so a good goalscoring season will likely see you nominated and Lallana was quality for Southampton, that's why he got a move to Liverpool.3 -
2002 since Leeds won a league game after conceeding the first goal...
That can't possibly be true, but someone has just sent me it. Must be premier league?

Yeah 200 yards is as the crow flys, but unless you want to get wet and can swim, its more like 0.5M between those 2 grounds as you need to cross a bridge.addick1956 said:
Aren't Dundee and Dundee Utd closer ?ForeverAddickted said:Just seen this one on Twitter...
Nottingham Forest and Notts County are separated by just 200 yards
They both played at home tonight for the first time in 30-years
But Dundee and Dundee United are virtually on the same street1 -

No he didn't. The half ends when the referee blows, so by definition he blew at the right time.North Lower Neil said:The referee blew for time too early in 3 out of the 4 halves (inc. Extra time) in the England v Germany 1990 WC semi final.1 -
Possibly, if others they'd be compared against had a bit of a stinker. Didn't Johnson, for example, have a purple patch where he couldn't stop scoring?North Lower Neil said:

I remember reading somewhere that all three Ronaldos where in the squad, at least, at the same time so the defender was Ronaldo, the PSV one was Ronaldinho (little Ronaldo) and the buck toothed one was Ronaldinho Gaucho.MrOneLung said:there was already an older defender playing for Brazil called Ronaldo so when Ronaldo (PSV /Barca/ Madrid) started in the team he was called Ronaldinho. Then when old Ronaldo retired Ronaldinho became Ronaldo and then another Ronaldo joined the team and was given the Ronaldinho name (the buck toothed lobber of David Seaman)1 -
They could knock down both grounds and build something really good...randy andy said:

I'm so glad you qualified it as 'David'. My screen reader might have told a very unpleasant story.MrOneLung said:there was already an older defender playing for Brazil called Ronaldo so when Ronaldo (PSV /Barca/ Madrid) started in the team he was called Ronaldinho.

True story; Arsenal fans wanted Arsene Wenger out because they were fed up finishing fourth in the league.4

According to the pundits and commentators Leeds United are an amazing team with an amazing coach and even though they were 4-1 at half time today, they were likely to pull it back. They lost 6-2 and could quite easily have shipped 12, but it's apparently a fact that they are a fantastic team!2

Losing 5-0 to Leeds was Sam Allardyces biggest home loss as a manager in the Premier League0

How do you even get negative goals?!North Lower Neil said:The lowest ever scoring game finished -3 to -3.3 -
Only in a reserve game, at West Ham. Shilton was 46North Lower Neil said:Peter Shilton and Frank Lampard (jr) played on the same team.
Their careers span from 1966 to 2016.0 -
Can we have more information on this please?North Lower Neil said:
Very odd, and not sure - just saw the stat!thenewbie said:
That's... Weird. I mean, is that a draw? Do they both lose? Its just a really weird situation.North Lower Neil said:
Both teams fielded ineligible players and the normal punishment was a 3-0 loss, so they called it -3 to -3.thenewbie said:

Guess you'd award them both no points bit the stats don't work on calling it a 3-0 loss to both?
Eh. The teams and/or league and year.0 -

Not where near a fact, just an opinion.jimmymelrose said:
This is not a fact. What about Steve Bull?soapboxsam said:Football fact:
Football loyalty by players is a myth:
Both Rooney and Gerrard were given massive pay rises to stay put.
Aubamayang will be on 250k a week for 3 years at the Arsenal ! Not bad for a guy who is now 32 !
Matt Le Tissier, may have been an exception and the Guernsey born player was the most naturally gifted footballer I have seen on the ball who have played for England (Paul Gascoigne was the main rival for that title)
Matthew was loyal to Southampton where he played for 16 years but his work rate and stamina was problematical, he had no pace and knew that he wouldn't be given a free reign at any of the top clubs. Only 8 caps for England proves that unless you build a team around him, Matt wasn't going to chase back.
Gerrard may have got a pay rise to stay at Liverpool, but I bet he could have earnt more at Chelsea. Yes it wasn't complete loyalty because he got an incentive to stay, but loyalty nonetheless.0 -
In 2020, RB Leipzig won twice as many home games against Premier League clubs as Brighton did.

Is that a third pitch just past Dundee Uniteds ground ?randy andy said:1 -
As recently as the Alex Ferguson regime, Man United have played two top flight games in two days. 1st January 1988 v Charlton at Old Trafford (0-0 Bob Bolder heroics) then the next day they played away at Watford winning 1-01
