Roy Hodgson has won more premier league games this season than Frank Lampard.2
-
With one round of matches to go in League 1, should Plymouth, Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday win their respective final matches the table will look like this:
Plymouth 101 points
Ipswich 100 points
Sheffield Wednesday 96 points
I don't know the answer to this but has any team ever failed to win a Football League Division with 100 points? Equally, has a team ever failed to gain automatic promotion with 96 points?0 -
Wednesday came second with 93 and United third with 90 one year...2

Perhaps we can win next season with 60 points as everyone else could be as bad as us 😂Addick Addict said:With one round of matches to go in League 1, should Plymouth, Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday win their final match the table will look like this:

Finished:
Plymouth - 101
Ipswich - 98
Wednesday - 96
Still astonishing that Ipswich didn't win with that points tally (especially as they only lost 4 games all season and had a GD of 66 compared to Plymouth's 35) but, even more so, Wednesday not gaining automatic promotion with 96 points.0 -
No team in League 1 had more goals in their matches than CAFC. We've gone from 113 goals (54-59) last season to 136 goals (70-66) this season. Our goal tally of 70 is also only 3 less than when we finished 3rd in 2018-19.0

In the English & Scottish leagues, there are 134 teams, 133 of them have conceded a penalty this season.2

Brackley Town have finished in the National League North Play-Offs for the past seven years.
They've failed to win promotion every time.1 -
Charlton now don't have a single player in our men's squad who has played 100 first-team games for the club. George Dobson now leads the way on 83...

And on the subject of City strikers and Chelsea, Haaland has the same amount of goals in the league this season as Chelsea.

Assuming that he plays in Man United's final three games of the season and Portugal's two Euro Qualifiers in June, Bruno Fernandes will have made 214 appearances for club and country in the three previous years - and started the vast majority of them too.2

Spurs have scored and conceded 60+ goals this season.That’s only the second time this has happened since the Premier League dropped to 38 games a season.The only other side to do it…..Spurs in 2007/2008.2

Purrington and Williams both joined in January.North Lower Neil said:Vetokele played more games for Charlton in the 2019 promotion season than Purrington or Jonny Williams.0 -
Indeed, I just tend to think of those that played in the playoffs as people who played a lot that season.Todds_right_hook said:

And Vetokele as someone from a few years before, forgetting the start of that season when he came back.
So it looked off when I saw it.

Name Powell's title winning team and 9/10 people will rattle off the same 11 yet they played about a dozen games together. Curbs first promotion was the result of a long term slow build? 7 of the 11 hadn't played for us before that season. Similar for 18/19.1
