Crazy Stat Time!

Daniel Sturridge: 197 Premier League games at 5 clubs, 74 goals.
Jamie Vardy: 134 Premier League games at 1 club, 56 goals.

 

When Sturridge scored his first Premier League goal, Vardy was playing for Stocksbridge Park Steels in the 8th tier of English football, working part-time in a factory and having to be substituted on the hour mark so he could rush home in time for his curfew for his electronic tag.

4 away wins in a row against west brom.

 

Surely our best sequence of results away from home agianst 1 team since the premiership started?

 

In sequence - probably - but in the pre-match blurb on the beeb website it said the clubs we’ve won most victories at are (rather implausably) Man City and Spurs. :o

Is there some chart etc somewhere that shows how many bookings each player has this season?

Wondering if there's any who aren't too far away from being suspended?

I wanted to check the “half a billion spent by Man City” which we have all (me included) been using.

 

Transfermarkt says:

 

2017/18

315.8 million Euros spent 

95.6 m Euros received

Net = 220.2

 

2016/17

213 million Euros spent

35 million Euros received

Net = 178

 

Total net spend = 398m Euros.

 

At today’s rates, converts to £350m

 

So we’ve maybe been slightly over egging the pudding.

 

They’ve still bought the league (when we won it with teamwork) and their fans are terribly quiet and quietly terrible, so screw them.

 

 

But if you only go back 2 seasons then you don’t include the £50m for Sterling, £50m for de bruyne, £35 for Otamendi, £20 for Gundogan, £8m for Delph in 15/16 then the likes of Fernandinho, Aguero, Silva, Kompany.

 

Their squad cost them £775m to assemble in transfer fees alone, that was before January when they signed another £57m defender, which took Pep’s spending up to nearly half a billion (£448m) which is over 500m euros.

 

Net spend is irrelevant to consider when looking at Pep’s spending, none of his players have been sold so his purchases have required an outlay of £448m any money recouped on the likes of Bony, Kolarov, Iheanacho goes against the managers that signed them only Nolito was signed and sold by Pep.

 

It is an obscene amount of money and it will only get worse.

Wilf on 6 is our highest so unlikely to be any suspensions for 10 yellows this season.

I don't disagree with the points you made, but the reason I only went back two years was because the discussion was specifically about the amount of money spent since we won the league and the suggestion it was £500m.

 

The inference being that our league win had made them spoff even more obscene amounts of cash.

 

As such, my post stands.

In the last 4 years we have won more Champions League knock out ties than Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea combined.

In a similar vain, since Manchester United last won a Champions League knockout tie, Arsenal have won 3 FA Cups, Real Madrid have won the Champions League 3 times, Man City have won the league cup 3 times, Chelsea have won the league with two separate managers, Kane and Aguero have scored over 100 goals each, Phil Foden has passed his GCSEs and made his Premier League and Champions League debut, and Leicester City have been promoted to the Premier League, won it, and got through to the quarterfinals of the Champions league, knocking out... Sevilla.

Since 2012, Premier League teams have won 3 Champions League knockout ties v teams in Europe's top 5 leagues. Two of those were against PSG. The other was Leicester beating Sevilla.

The goals of Iheanacho and Iborra v WBA was the first time goals scored in same match with players with surnames beginning with I - certainly in PL and I think in all top flight football. 

Not even the first time in a Leicester game! And in this game two players beginning with I both scored two each!!

Cracking away day too!
