That's definitely a pointless piece of info
A very interesting piece of info nonetheless.
I think that went over your head
oh yeah, of course! Can’t believe I didn’t get that at first.I think that went over your head
Luke Shaw started in all 38 games of the English Premier League season 25-26. Close the thread.
A German team hasn't beaten an English team in a European final since 1975
This should really not be true.
Euro 2020 final - sub
Carabao Cup 2023 - sub
CL final 2024 - start!
Conference league 2025 - sub
Europa league 2026 - sub
Hes like the luxury players luxury player.
In 2025/26 Crystal Palace played 50% more football matches than Man United.
Marc Guehi in the past 12 months has won the FA Cup, knocked out of the FA Cup and won the FA Cup.
Wout Weghorst has 51 caps for the Dutch National Team and counting..
That is mad, he should really have over 100 at this stage.
Since the European cup became the Champions League only 8 clubs have won it while being unbeaten. The Only team that did it twice is Manchester United.
Scotland play Brazil on 24 June, which will be their fifth meeting at a World Cup.
England have only played Brazil four times at a World Cup, the same as Argentina and France.
Scotland have never advanced beyond the first round of the nine World Cups they have qualified for, which may be because they have been drawn to play Brazil in over half of those tournaments.

We can't be that far from this ending for players who played under Fergie
Bold assumption to think Ronaldo will ever retire.
This reminds me of Nigeria playing Argentina, they end facing us at least 4 or 5 times being beating in all of them at group satges and Nigeria got the best of Argentina in the 90s in a great an Olympic final while Argentina still didn't had a gold medal.
Dont know if this is the correct place but
Have you ever wondered how posters here seem to think all the players near 30 are old. And anything beyond that are past it? Legs are gone, "uncle case", etc. and then you remember your age and most likely its above 30 or way above that

It’ll be someone like Josh King or Michael Keane.
Or Welbeck with his customary goal against us.
I hit 30 this year and I cried in my car now the caf doesn't rate me and thinks I'm washed
Who all are currently playing in the PL who also played under SAF?
I can think of only Welbeck? Not sure if Tom Heaton counts, but I don't think he technically played under Fergie anyway.
Anyone else?
Michael Keane
Not PL but Darron Gibson is still playing in Ireland
If you expand it to active players overall, then I guess there are still quite a few hanging around:
Ronaldo, De Gea, Smalling, Macheda, Pogba, Kagawa, etc
Pretty incredible given how highly rated they are.
Ajax is the only team to win the League and CL(European Cup) double, while going unbeaten in both.
Jean Pierre Papin only played at one WC (aged 22) because of France's failure to qualify for the 1990 and 1994 tournaments
It took Cristiano Ronaldo four World Cup tournaments to reach four goals. It took Haaland two World Cup games.
Frank Clark managed Nottingham Forest in the 1990s whilst also serving as President of the Newcastle United supporters club, London chapter.
Ronaldo has scored in 6 different world cups.
Cheers Geoff.
Considering Ronaldo played as an orthodox winger in his thirst two tournaments, that isn't too surprising.
Jordon Pickford was not born Jordon Pickford
Jordan Lee Pickford was born Jordan Lee Logan on 7 March 1994 in Washington, Tyne and Wear. His father Lee later changed the family name from Pigford - Jordan Pigford would have been good
I presume you got that from the same place I did - Wikipedia.Jordan Lee Pickford was born Jordan Lee Logan on 7 March 1994 in Washington, Tyne and Wear. His father Lee later changed the family name from Pigford - Jordan Pigford would have been good
I can't help but feel pigford is a typo but I want to believe that's what it was for a period.
I wonder why he changed the families name?
Edit;
I googled it and turns it was pigford. His dad changed it because he got bullied for it apparently.

Fair play to his dad really for doing him a favour. Dave Seaman and Dean Windass’s parents could learn a thing or two.Jordan Lee Pickford was born Jordan Lee Logan on 7 March 1994 in Washington, Tyne and Wear.

Good one this, now 4
Paul dickov's parents must have done it on purpose
Indeed I did, I did suspect it is a typo but but it was too good to lave out
