Mildly interesting stat
On one of the feeds yesterday they dropped a stat that Burnley have scored 152 goals against Fulham….. apparently only Manchester United have scored more goals against them in the history of football….
As I said, mildly interesting.

Re: Mildly interesting stat
Rainmanman will store this for future use.
Burnley’s record against Fulham is generally and unexplainably brilliant.

It also said that Trafford has had more touches of the ball than any keeper in PL history at this stage of the season.
Re: Mildly interesting stat
I stand to be corrected but prior to our win there in the promotion season 2015/16 I dont think we had won away at Craven Cottage for around 50 years.
We have done really well on that ground since though.
Just to throw another one in......we always seem to do well against Derby County in recent times both home and away.
How many games are we unbeaten against them I wonder?

Re: Mildly interesting stat
Prior to that 15/16 game we last won at Fulham in the 80/81 season. Incidentally Fulham haven't won at the Turf since 1951.Targetman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 10:33 amI stand to be corrected but prior to our win there in the promotion season 2015/16 I dont think we had won away at Craven Cottage for around 50 years.

Re: Mildly interesting stat
As a Derbeian born and bred I can tell you we've not lost to them since 2007! Don't know how often we've played them in that time, though.Targetman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 10:33 amI stand to be corrected but prior to our win there in the promotion season 2015/16 I dont think we had won away at Craven Cottage for around 50 years.

They also we'd had 100 corners this season, and scored from just one of them.dandeclaret wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 10:05 amOn one of the feeds yesterday they dropped a stat that Burnley have scored 152 goals against Fulham….. apparently only Manchester United have scored more goals against them in the history of football….

Re: Mildly interesting stat
Who was the co-commentator yesterday on the stream? He said he scored for Fulham against us but it ended up 2-1 to the Clarets.

The commentator used the stat to explain how much pressure we were putting on the young keeper.

Ha! Brilliant.
To be fair, I thought he did a decent job, not bad at all, all things considered.

Re: Mildly interesting stat
Remember travelling up from Portland for that game in '80. Had been on a fishing holiday.
The Weds night before watched Weymouth (in Claret & Blue ) beat Bath City ( while shirts/ black shorts) 2-0.
What an omen!
I've never, in 4 visits, actually see us lose at Craven Cottage!

Re: Mildly interesting stat
We remain unbeaten in more than 30 league and cup games against them at the Turf, a run stretching back to 1951. Let’s hope we can keep that going!

Cheers, Rowls,
I’d used up all my synonym in my festive biscuits the other day

No you’re right but we also have great home form against them.
Re: Mildly interesting stat
Scored some good goals against them too but I think Ronnie Jepson’s to keep us up is my favourite!

Re: Mildly interesting stat
The stat tells us that we use him as a focal point (as we did Muric) when starting attacks, unfortunately it also tells us how many times we go backwards to the centre halves and goalkeeper when put under pressure.

Re: Mildly interesting stat
Tony Gale gets most of our London games. Always very complimentary, for an ex-fiddler, but we generally lose. Yesterday was a happy exception.

Re: Mildly interesting stat
I do remember a cracking 5-2? win against them at home in the 90's. Jim Stannard was their goalkeeper and it was around the time the backpass rule had just been brought in. He was certainly of the generation of keepers who didn't adjust too well to the new rule. Don Mackay was their manager and we reminded him of his previous employers. Steve Harper scored an absolute belter.

It might not be that bad Robbo - see this:
What is difference between unexplainable and inexplicable?
“Something is 'unexplainable' means that it cannot be explained. That does not necessarily mean that it does not have an explanation - we just don't know what the explanation is. 'Inexplicable' means that it does not have an explanation at all.”

That's a tough one.
I you don't know what the explanation is, then to you it's inexplicable?
