Crazy Stat Time (non-LCFC Version)

[StanSP]

For someone who grew up surrounding by gloryhunting Man Utd fans, it's superb seeing them suffer and having to watch the dross their side is now turning out...

In Gaelic football Mayo haven't won any of 11 All Ireland finals they've been in. For those that don't know, All Irelands are like the Superbowl of gaelic football.

 

Would be interesting to hear similar records or if anyone can top that

Examples of sporting players so far ahead of their peers it's insane...

Just heard this interesting one, Man Utd have in all competitions conceded more goals in London this season than Arsenal have. When you think of the number of games each team has played in London this year, that’s phenomenal

Crawley's win last night means Accrington Stanley will be the only football league team to have never played at Wembley.

I actually have a soft spot for Accrington Stanley. A few years ago they won me £2000 from a £10 bet by scoring 2 goals in injury time to win a game after trailing on 90mins. Won't forget that Stanley!

Yarm & Eaglescliffe's 6-5 away win against Sunderland West End (Northern League div 2) was extraordinary. In 7 minutes of added time they pulled back from 5-2 down to win. Goals were scored after  92.93,94 and 96 minutes!

MOST VIEWED MATCH EVER

It was July 16, 1950, and Rio de Janeiro was buzzing. The air was electric, as if this entire town was in for a miracle. At Maracanã, the biggest stadium ever built, almost 200,000 people gathered. That was a solid, unbelievable number. But that day, everything seemed possible. Brazil were going to play the World Cup final against Uruguay, and there was only one thing on everyone's mind: victory.

Brazil had demolished every opponent until that moment. The fans knew it, they felt it in their bones: that World Cup should have been them. Everybody was ready to celebrate, the streets were already full of people singing and dancing, and the stadium... well the stadium looked like a volcano that's about to explode. Green and gold dominated everywhere. The Uruguayans? Almost invisible, as if they only appeared at an already decided party.

Then, after a tense first half, finally, Friaça scores. The rumor is indescribable, something that only those who were there can understand. It felt like the whole world stopped for that moment. 1-0 for Brazil. It's done, what everyone thought. Get this party started, right? But football is never that simple.

Halfway through the second half, Schiaffino scores for Uruguay. A shot, almost unexpected, but nothing too worrying. Brazil was still there, ahead in everything: game, quality, fans. "Just a little stumble," the crowd thought.

And suddenly the stabbing. Ghiggia, a name the Brazilians will never forget, catches the ball, plunges into the defense and puts it in. 2-1 for Uruguay. Now the stadium, which a few minutes ago was an ocean of joy, falls into silence. Not normal silence, but one of those that gives you shivers. 200,000 real estate people, speechless. Nobody believed it was possible, yet it was happening.

When the referee whistle, no one can understand. Uruguay had won against all odds. The Maracanã, with its record of spectators, witnessed an epic defeat, the famous "Maracanazo". That day, the biggest stadium in the world didn’t see the party everyone dreamed of, but one of the biggest surprises in football history.

And that crowd, the biggest ever, would never forget that day, where the dream was shattered in an instant.

Good thing they righted that wrong in 2014.

 

Oh...

An extraordinarily dominant second half (in a ten a side game after both teams had a player sent off in first half) by Solihull Moors v Ebbsfleet. I think their 6 goals without reply is the record in top 5 divisions in England for an away team, having been level(0-0 at half time). (Brighton beat Walsall 7-0 in 1976 (all goals in second half), but they were at home.)
