Quickest hattrick in Champions League history tonight. Three for Mo Salah within 6 minutes against Rangers, and he came on as a 2nd half sub! Apparently the only thing quicker than Salahs hat trick was the rate Rangers fans left the stadium |

Probably the only player to ever score at Wembley and then have to be substituted having over celebrated and fainted ? That's just reminded me of the player who scored the winning goal for Arsenal against Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup final sometime in the 1990s. After the final whistle he was being carried aloft by his team mates... who dropped him, breaking his arm and causing him to miss the FA Cup Final (also against Massive) the following month. But can anyone name him? |

It's not football trivia, but did you know there is an image of a bear in the image of the mountain on a Toblerone bar?

Would it be a nice synergy (fecking hate that word, but it's all I had), if Rangers end up with the worst CL GD ever, and Forest beat the Derby C record in getting relegated?
Forest, Rangers. Has a nice ring to it...

An English manager has never won the Premier League.
And this century, only one English manager has won the FA Cup (Redknapp, Pompey, 2008).
Foreign managers, foreign owners, foreign players....the PL must be the most undomestic domestic competition on the planet!

When Fleetwood Town play Forest Green Rovers tomorrow it will be the first time two teams beginning with F have played each other in league history. No such games have yet been played for E, I, J, K, Q, U, V, X and Z

Matthew Collins is playing for Hannover 96 in Germany, although in the youth team at the moment. Obviously didn't fancy picking up the drumsticks like his talented brother Nick and superstar father Phil.

If you have not already done so, take the BBC Tuesday name the Premier league player quiz on their sports/football page. Its normally quite hard, but there is a belter in there today that will warm the cockles of your heart.

Two questions topical for today.
One easy, the other a little harder.
Who put the ball in the b******s net?
Who was the unused substitute 40 years ago today.

Dave cowling, and guess at Darryl Pugh 1/2 Daryl Pugh is the sensible guess (by far the most substitute appearances that season) but for some reason not that night. PS What I hadn't realised (until just now) was that all Eleven regular starters started at least 40 games that season. That can't have happened that often at any club. |
