Weekend Football

[Whore Jackie]

1st Vs 2nd in the Champ last night. Cov went away to Middlesbrough and put 4 past them.

Lampard is doing an amazing job there. Fair play.

19 more goals than the next highest scorers in the Champ. That's crazy in such a competitive league.

Hope they can keep it going.

Currently on track for 108 points. Which would be a Championship record, though obviously not a Football League record.

Yeah, I've previously slagged him off but hats off to him for rebuilding his managerial career.

The slightly less good nature of old-timey football means the goals scored record will probably stay out of sight forever. Coventry have 47 goals in 17 games (2.76 per game) - if they maintained that they'd get to 127 goals, which would beat Middlesbrough's 122 goals scored in 1927/28 in the second tier. But it's hard to see how they keep scoring at this rate. It's 60 years since any club got to 120 goals, in any division.

The Football League record is Peterborough's 134 goals in 1960/61.

Maybe one to watch - Coventry have 25 away league goals already in nine games. They have 14 more away games to reach Arsenal's Football League record of 60 away goals, set in 1930/31. The Championship record is very gettable - Bournemouth scored 50 away goals in 2014/15.
