    That Anthony Elanga has now made the same number of first-team appearances for Forest as he did Manchester United (39). He's scored two more goals in that time for us (five) then them (three), although I suspect he started more from the bench for United.

    Hoping this is the season he kicks on another level - he's certainly got all the minerals. Slightly better decision-making and final ball, and he could become unplayable with that pace.

    Transfermarkt says he's played 2668 minutes for us, 1791 for them. Also 9 assists for us and 3 for them. (Although assists are bullshit.)

    Definitely. A great pass to create a chance depends on the player attempting the finish to make it an assist. That is complete bullshit. A chance may be created by a key pass prior to the last one. Double bullshit. You can create a chance by leaving the ball - ie not making an expected touch. Treble bullshit.

    Stats totally depend on the context in which they are framed.

    But relying on the major action of another player to contribute to one of what is widely considered a key personal stat. Have you seen T's kicking at the moment? Utter, utter, bullshit.

    Caoimhín Kelleher's first name. Only ever heard him referred to by his surname and therefore only just leaned he's Irish.

    Thought up until today that he was Scandinavian.
