Ben Brereton Diaz is currently the player to have played most Premier League games without winning.
Should be play six more without a win, he will become the player with most Premier League games before first win. That record stands at 25 games, and is held by Oliver Burke.
We make some good ones!

While these things are no doubt interesting to the stats crowd, they always seem to somewhat overlook the nature of team sports. If he'd been put in the manshitty side, he'd have won by now. Sheffield untied were, and sudhampton are, quite shit.
Getting a game at 'ship level, irrespective of the outcome, is a positive achievement.

A point that Nick Miller makes in a few different ways in the article:
"This, hopefully, is not designed to denigrate or mock Brereton Diaz. He has just been unfortunate enough to play for a couple of struggling sides. "
"You could even argue that Brereton Diaz is almost being punished for being good. If you’re a terrible player in a terrible team, you probably aren’t going to stay in that team. But if you’re a decent player in a terrible team, you’ll be out there every week, your win-loss record at the mercy of the dysfunction around you."
"Not least because, by even making it to the Premier League, they’re already in the top one per cent of the top one per cent."

I don't think it was the same game, I was also at that one and I think the 'tackle' was on Andy Reid so would have been a championship match I guess. Prob later.
