At least now Nani is off the pitch we won't give the ball away so much.

I really enjoyed that game, probably down to how tense tuesday was. Nani was a prick but it was funny the way he went down holding his face and the two west ham lads lifted him up. 90mins away now and still no o'shea momen.

1. Tottenham have blown the most points from leading positions this season (33). With all those points added to their current tally, they would be third.

2. Manchester United and Arsenal are jointly the most televised team this season, with 23 live games. Liverpool (20) trail them, while Wigan and Birmingham (6) have had the least live matches on TV.

3. Luke Young’s goal for Boro vs Spurs on 3 Nov 2007 was clocked at 75mph – the fastest in Premier League history.

4. There have been 14 hat-tricks (Roque Santa Cruz, Marcus Bent, Benjani (2), Emmanuel Adebayor (2), Dimitar Berbatov, Frank Lampard, Fernando Torres (2), Cristiano Ronaldo, John Carew, Mikael Forssell and Yakubu). That’s 11 more than in the last campaign.

5. Goalscoring is up this campaign, with an average of 2.60 goals per game, compared to 2.45 last season.

6. Tottenham have hit the woodwork 14 times – more than any other team.

7. Bolton are the only team yet to receive a red card.

8. Aston Villa, Chelsea and Tottenham have all been involved in 4-4 draws against each other.

9.Wigan kept five consecutive home clean sheets (from 2/2/08 to 5/4/0. Only Man United can match that record.

10. Portsmouth recorded six successive away victories and six home 0-0 draws – both more than any other club.

11. Since Avram Grant’s first game in charge of Chelsea – a defeat to Man United – Chelsea have been the Premier League’s most consistent team (2.41 points per game), ahead of Man United (2.31).

12. Arsenal remain the best passing side in the division, with an 80 per cent success rate. They have also played more passes (17,210) than any other club.

13. Chelsea are the only club yet to name an unchanged line-up this season.

14. The £150m shelled out in the 2008 January transfer window was a 250 per cent increase on the amount spent in January 2007 (£60m). Chelsea (£27m) were the biggest spenders and Nicolas Anelka (£15m) is the biggest January transfer ever.

15. It took Nicklas Bendtner six seconds to score after coming on as a substitute for Arsenal vs Spurs on 22 December 2007 – a Premier League record.

16. Cesc Fabregas has 20 assists this season – only the third time a player has surpassed 15 assists in the Premier League.

17. At their current rate, it would take Derby until January 2017 to reach the record points tally for a Premier League season (95 by Chelsea in 2004-05).

18. Referee Mike Dean has shown as many Premier League red cards (9) as Martin Atkinson (3), Mark Halsey (2), Alan Wiley (1), Howard Webb (1), Mike Riley (1), Lee Mason (1), Lee Probert (0), Uriah Rennie (0) and Keith Stroud (0) combined.

19. If teams who scored first always won games, the top five would still be the same, but Fulham would lie in seventh place.

20. Portsmouth’s Papa Bouba Diop has had the most shots (46) without scoring. But Cristiano Ronaldo has hit the most off-target strikes (52).
Number 17 is shocking, I cant get my head round how bad they have done.

Hello you Red lot. Congratulations on a fantastic double this season guys. We ran you close, but I have to admit that over the course of the season you were the better team. Champions League was a bit different in the fact that we had a half each and were both knackered during extra time. But you won't find me being one of the johnny come lately supporters that blame John Terry, He is Mr Chelsea and without him we would not have reached the final in the first place.
