Official FIFA stats stating Pickford as the most complete goalkeeper at the World Cup.
The Deeney's etc. can say what they want, but the facts don't lie... 🤷🏼♂️
Your reminder that if West Ham are relegated today, then next season will be the first season in the entire 138-year history of the English top flight without a team beginning with the letter W.
With the news of Ricky Van Wolfswinkel retiring, who scored his only Premier League goal against Everton, I decided to dig deeper.
A player has scored their first Premier League goal for their new club 225 times against Everton, the most of any club in the competition.

Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’.
Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport?
If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.
