Only once have all three of the promoted sides to the premier league been relegated. It was 1997/98 season.

It’s very much looking like this season will the second season.

So Luton, Sheffield Utd and Burnley last year was just a figment of everyone's imagination then?

I find this astonishing. Jaap Stam only played two full seasons, and 79 league games in total, for Manchester United. He was injured for much of this third season and left for Lazio that summer. He also only scored one United goal. Obviously had it wrong - but I had Stam down as a central defender who weighed in with a few goals, and who was synonymous with United's success at that time. Would have guessed he had played 200 times for the club, at least.

was looking up some info yesterday on trophy wins and was surprised to see Phil Neal as the most successful English footballer at a European level, there on his own with 4 European Cup wins.

I lazily made the assumption that there was a small core of Liverpool players together through those 4 wins (77 - 84) but it was only Neal that was there for them all.

5 players share the title of most European Cup/Champions League wins of 6. 2 of those players (Modric & Carvajal) are playing in this seasons

Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in their last 18 home games in all competitions. No club has a longer streak than this since 1934-1935, when Sunderland did so in 19 consecutive home games.

Their next home game is Southampton so think you can be fairly certain in this weird world that they won’t reach 19

That can't be an up to date stat, surely?

It might just be, but surely they've had a second half collapse in the last few years?

I did read separately that United haven't ever lost a home game after taking a 2-0 lead.

Edit: also, I'd love a 'cricinfo' type football website where I can look up this kind of stat.

might be the most mental football stat I have ever seen

i did some digging and it is an up to date stat, absolutely mental isn't it?

and as an aside, whilst investigating and confirming that stat i came across another, now this one i assume is out of date, but i found an article dated September 2022 man utd had only ever lost 4 games in the premier league when leading at HT. This may have changed now, but i also found that shocking .

That’s nothing, Reading have won every single won of their games where they’ve been winning when the final whistle was blown.

We had that run of about 2 years where we won every single game we were winning at HT.
