Premier League records.

Re: Premier League records.

And shearer himself has about 20 first division goals which are forgotten about.

Shearer is the Prem record holder. As long as he holds the record, he probably don’t mind those goals being forgotten.

Re: Premier League records.

Of course it is

Great Premiership Managers ff sake

Brian Clough , back to back European Cup wins

The Great Liverpool side of the seventies...forget that

Re: Premier League records.

What they actually said wasn’t incorrect though was it? They call them Premier League records because they are records since the inception of the Premier League.

No one said, “these are Premier League records and all that go before it are bollox”

But Premier League records look stupid when you can go to the same club and look up records that beat the ones the Match of the Day. commentator was getting all orgasmic over hands down. It was all the more absurd yesterday when many football fans over the age of, say, forty can remember Liverpool winning a league game 9-0 only two or three years before the Premier League began.

Re: Premier League records.

Because they think football did not exist before 1992. Except for 1966!

Never a truer word spoken or written..

Yeah I do get your point mate. In fact the coverage of AJ and Usyk made me angry, almost as if they were all told not to mention Fury and wedge themselves firmly up Hearn and AJs asses.

You’ve convinced me, Fck Sky 😂

Re: Premier League records.

All of the ridiculous wages and professional bollix is all the fault of Preston. They are just trouble makers.

But it’s bollocks though, it’s the top flight, the same as it’s always been, forget the name it means bugger all. Dixie Dean holds the record for one club, Everton, with 349 & Jimmy Greaves the overall record 357 for three clubs, 5 more than Steve Bloomer. To mention Shearer in the same breath is an insult to these former players from the same division.

Football moves on though, it’s a bit like the pointless “boxer in their prime” discussion. We’ll never know if the too old players would ever have succeeded in the Prem.

What’s that got to do with it ? Never clever to compare players from different eras, it doesn’t work. This is about records, Preston won the league without losing a game and won the FA Cup the same season without conceding a goal. That’s a record that can’t be taken away from them regardless of whether they’d succeed nowadays, people/teams fail or succeed in their own era.
A boxer who say had an unbeaten career in the 1920s/1930s is equal to a boxer who had an unbeaten career in the 1980s/1990s.

Agreed the record still stands and they can’t be compared, that’s why it’s easier to use things like “post war record” or “Premier League record”

Re: Premier League records.

I’ve never come across separate records fo r the Championship from when the second tier was given that name and isn’t that the same as what they do with Premier League? Why not separate records for Leagues One and Two?

[The Bloop]

Re: Premier League records.

The only record that seems to be mentioned outside of the Premier League, is the most number of top flight titles won,with Man U on 20 and Liverpool on 19.
Maybe the Football League have something do with it in preserving their own history separately from, what is effectively, a breakaway league ?

Re: Premier League records.

It's marketing bollux. I can't remember which service it's on but I started watching a documentary about the anniversary of the PL and after listening to David Dein for five minutes I was done. Couldn't take the hype and waffle. Football's a professional sport. Money, money, money for the suits and it's just a game for the rest of us.
