Crazy Stat Time!

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Wouldn't Zlatan be the best part of 50 if he scored for Malmo in Sweden's top flight in 1989?

It's 1999 he means.

5 decades do you mean?

Thanks for the correction! 

[oxford blue]

Yes, 1999. No doubt a remarkable record.

[StanSP]

Pretty bad for a striker who was not too long ago touted for England... 

 

[urban.spaceman]

Leicester’s Ricardo Pereira has made eight assists from open play in the Premier League since the start of last season – the only two defenders with more in this period are Andrew Robertson (14) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (11).

What's the highest aggregate score we have over teams in the Premier League where we've won both games over them? 

 

I imagine the Newcastle 5-0 and 3-0 comes close?

Given the 5-0 was our record PL win at the time, the previous record win would have been 4-0 or less. Unless we got a 4-0 twice against the same opponent on the same season, 8-0 aggregate must be a new record.

Not ours but that was the first time Burnley have beaten Man U since 1962, mind you I doubt they've played them many times as they've been down to the bottom of L2 and back.

I’ve always thought stats like that should come with a numerical value, because if they’ve only played 3-4 times that’s not impressive, if it’s 50+ games then that’s really something!

[Yes N'Didi]

On Man United v Burnley, it's the third time they've gone 0-2 up at Old Trafford in 3 seasons but the first time they've hung on to win!

[StanSP]

Maybe it's best to say this before a cup game but am I right in saying we haven't had a red card this season in the league

Talking of grounds where you never win or even get a point, surely to God we will finally get a result away v Arsenal this season. No win since 1973 and 20 defeats out of 21 league games since then.

Tielemans should've got one vs Bournemouth, even though I didn't think so immediately after.

That's weird. We literally just watched that game back as a random game to watch back on all the MOTD recordings

 

Given what Aubameyang got sent off for that was deffo a red.

They should've had a man sent off that day too. Maybe it evened out.

I've discovered a back plastic disc with minute concentric grooves and a hole in the centre... is it a record?

You want this thread I think...

 

 

[urban.spaceman]

Used these tables to illustrate a point in the Kasper thread but it's worth looking at them again to see just how well we're doing this season:

 

 

We're actually better defensively and in attack - 1 fewer goal conceded and scored 7 more and with a better goal difference of +8 (though the Southampton game skewers that slightly), though 4 points worse off, which actually in 2016 would still have put us top!

 

Interesting to look at how the other teams have fared too.

Blimey 18 pts better off than liverpool

They've spent £370m since then...

Is that at old Trafford ? I remember robbie Blake volleying one in few year back 1.0 win.

[messerschmitt]

Vardy's last ten games for Leicester P10 W1 D4 L5

The one we won was against West Ham when he went off before half time.

Vardy out!

Only joking before anyone takes it seriously, that really is a crazy stat, good answer if anyone else tells you "we'd struggle if Vardy got injured"

[Phube]

We’ve been playing Wolves competitively since 1906.

 

This was our first ever double blank set of games! 
 

(ie. both games in the same season ending 0-0)
