Post your strange facts here

For Chelsea, David Luiz (Centre-back) has scored more goals than Torres (Striker) in less games.

Dont no if this is so strange but Liverpool never lost a game in which Ian.Rush scored in for his first 6 season's at Liverpool from 81 to 87 and he did score in a lot of games in that period.

I'm older than the club I support.

Gareth Bale took 24 appearences stretched over 3 years before he won a game at Tottenham

Gareth Bale only has 7 goals and 1 assist in the Premier League and still loads of cunts are saying he should be player of the year.

Nani and Nasri >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bale

Perhaps young player of the year, but Nasri would be my choice for player

Best player in the world. And Spurs are the best football side in the world, with 'Arry being the best manager ever.

The longest ever clash in the FA Cup proper took place in the 1954/55 season between Stoke City and Bury. The teams met at Gigg Lane in a 3rd Round tie on 8th January and played out a 1-1 draw. The replay at the Victoria Ground four days later also finished 1-1 after going into extra-time (the game was actually abandoned 22 minutes into extra-time). A second replay was scheduled for Goodison Park on 17th January where the teams played out a thrilling 3-3 draw, again after extra-time. The fourth encounter came just two days later when the teams met at Anfield. They still couldn't be parted after 120 minutes though and the match finished 2-2. The fifth and deciding match took place at Old Trafford on 24th January with Stoke finally winning 3-2. Incredibly Stoke's winning goal in the final game was scored in the LAST MINUTE of extra-time just as everybody was preparing for a sixth game! The tie lasted an incredible 9 hours and 22 minutes and remains another record that should stand forever!

Hereford United hold the biggest away league win for a match televised on Sky. Dagenham & Redbridge 0 - 9 Hereford United

May be the biggest win overall and not just league, not too sure.

Ramires and Luiz have won all there games they have scored in.

Of Leeds' 19 away games this year, 11 of them have been the home teams biggest attendance.

In the Championship, 20th placed Coventry have had 27 more shots than league leaders QPR.

If Premier League matches ended at half-time, Blackburn would be 4th in the league.

Interesting.

The other one isn't though because it's obvious we're the biggest team in the league

But the opposition they have been up against when they have scored.

Brighton are still unbeaten at home this season.

Daniel Bogdanovic played for FC Tunis at one point.

Pretty vague fact, but I remember with a few games left last year if the results fell the right way City and Spurs could have been exactly level for 4th (including head to head or whatever else they factor in), which would have resulted in a playoff for the 4th spot at a neutral venue.
