You realise that that is a member of the general public, not a a BBC employee?

Run, very far. Eccles will kill you for that.

Very, very, very far!! ;-)

Already Tyler and Ratty are talking about Leeds' potential banana skin.

Stay transparent guys, otherwise we might mistake you for thinking you want City to lose.

A quick point about Erling breaking the season scoring record (42 games) and now going for Dixie Dean’s all comps record:

Dixie Dean will have played basically every minute of every match back when he set his record, whilst Erling has regularly gotten taken off well before the end of matches.

Erling’s goals per minute will be substantially higher than Dean’s if we had the latter’s minutes played stats.

He played in 39 out of those 42 league games.

He probably played pretty much every minute of those 39 games, though, as in-game substitutions weren't a thing back then.


Is the all-comps record 61 goals? I think I heard somewhere that it was the 60 league goals, plus only one other goal.

And Ealing didn't play in an era where they played 2 at the back

Half The teams that play us play a back 8 and resort to anti-football to try to get a point

Yep, that is my point. He will have played substantially more minutes.

I didn't contribute to that figure, honest.
