In the 1929/30 season under the great Harry Curtis, Brentford won all of their 21 home games in the top division - a record never equalled or bettered 
There are 15 cities called Manchester in the USA but only one called Madrid. So a "Manchester United" have a statistically higher chance of winning the US football league than a Real Madrid.
That’s fecking amazing
Arsenal?
Originally Woolwich Arsenal mind you
Correct
That assumes that the team not being based in Madrid would stop the Americans from calling it Real Madrid.
Massimo Maccarone is still playing in Italy.
The wikipedia entry about this is so confusing though.
So... isn't the valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey Canal a geographical location?

Think we were a daft result at home to fecking West Brom to matching this in 10/11.

Canada has an Olympic Gold medal in 'soccer'.
Just had to Google that. How very strange!

No, we only won 18 at home that season, so not even close.
Yeah few less games but was thinking more we nearly got maximum points at home in the season.
I'm pretty sure Raúl has scored at least one CL hat-trick....
I corrected it a few posts down. He's the only one who has scored more than one hat-tricks, it was a mistake while typing it.
Javier Zanetti received his first red card ever in Serie A having played 548 matches. He used to play wingback or a defensive midfield role and were known to play alot and very rarely being injured.
Only 2 keepers have seen their team score 9 and keep a clean sheet in the PL history. Scmeichel 9-0 vs Ipswich(1995) and Schmeichel 9-0 vs Soton(2019).
Like father, like son.
Like father, like son.
Strange that I always thought Zanetti played mostly as a right midfielder (like Beckham) or as a right winger. Only in the latter part of his carrier he played as a full back and sometimes a DM.
He has such a long career but I think you are right that he often played midfield on the right during the first half of his years at Inter. But he always took great responsibility in defense. Why I mentioned that is because it adds to the impressive fact that he never got a red card in 548 matches but still very involved in duels and in defense.
There is a bigger gap in time between today and Arsenal’s invincibles (15 years), than between the invincibles and Liverpool’s last title (14 years).
This doesn’t seem right to me, as it feels like Arsenal’s last title wasn’t that long ago while Liverpool’s last title was from another planet altogether.

Every single Premier League and Championship player's wages.
Peter Schmeichel has a different surname from his own son.
King Otto Rehakles. One of the best managers of all time.
Michael Ballacks teams have competed in every big international finals. They have lost them all.
Gary once shit himself and played on until min.83.
A footballer with more than 350 international games shouldn't exist. But Kristine Lilly somehow managed that.
Funny thing is I don't recall there's too much furore over this achievement, it's like just any other year in bundesliga
Olaf Marchall was topscorer ja? as defender?
Dennis Irwin made a hattrick in 15 minutes for us.
