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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

12 times since then

They also we'd had 100 corners this season, and scored from just one of them.

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.

36 years then in between wins there. I knew it was a long time, not quite the 50 years that I was thinking.

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!

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!

No you’re right but we also have great home form against them.

Scored some good goals against them too but I think Ronnie Jepson’s to keep us up is my favourite!

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.

Unfortunately, I've seen us receive a good number of serious batterings at The Cottage.

Liking the current trend though!

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

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.”

Exactly this: I just didn’t want to get pernickety. Season of Goodwill, and all that…

That's a tough one.

I you don't know what the explanation is, then to you it's inexplicable?

But what if someone else out there has an explanation for it, potentially?

That pretty much brings in the chance that nothing is inexplicable!

The first match I ever went to was in 1963: Burnley 4 Fulham 0.
