John Marquis has EQUALLED the record for quickest Red Card in English Professional Football, with the quickest only in 2000
Peterborough 3-1 Shrewsbury: John Marquis 13-second red card equals record - BBC Sport
I'd be pretty pissed off at that, I mean if you're getting sent off that early, you'd want it to be the quickest wouldnt you?3 -

A couple of Charlton Vs Barnsley facts:
It took Barnsley 78 years to finally win a league game away at Charlton. The first meeting was in March 1930, they finally won at the 22nd attempt in November 2008. Charlton had won 13 and drawn 8 of the first 21 meetings at Charlton.
Charlton and Barnsley have played 6 times in March, 2 draws and 4 Charlton wins. Chronologically these are the Charlton victories: 2-0 (1930), 3-1 (1932), 4-2 (1958), 5-3 (1985).
If you don't have at least a quid on a 6-4 win tonight you've only got yourselves to blame.7 -

Huddersfield havent scored in their last ten home games
And their last home goal was scored by someone who doesnt even play for them anymore. But still their unbeaten run goes back to the time of the Dinosaurs, and when Crystal Palace were considered a historic Football Club.3 -

Jurgen Klopp managed 491 games in charge of Liverpool, but his most used starting lineup only started together FIVE times.
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Keita, Wijnaldum, Milner, Salah, Firmino, Mane.
In his first season, Slot has gone past that by starting the same XI together 6 times.

Just looked at their fixtures and the gulf in class from PL to Championship stood out with the fact that Leicester (who are terrible) played QPR (average champ side, not good but not that bad) in the FA Cup and beat them 6-2.Addick Addict said:

I misread the fact, thinking it meant that the two goals had been scored in separate matches.
There was no need for me to make that interpretation, other than the fact that, in that context, it might have qualified as "doesn't sound true but [is]", whereas the fact as stated does sound true. They've only scored in one of their last 9 matches. That it was two goals in one game against Tottenham isn't an element that makes it sound untrue.0 -

Huddersfield are one of only 3 teams Charlton have played at least one competitive fixture against every decade since we entered the football league.
The other 2 are Bolton and Portsmouth.
We have also so far played Wolves at least once every decade except for the 2020's. So 4 1/2 years left to keep that going.7 -
