You’ve failed to spot the thing immediately noticed by the resident spelling police......the OP used ‘center’ not ‘centre’........a crime deemed worthy of minimum 20 years or half a thread of pisstaking.
Usually just a case of whether the original shot was on target or not.......if on target, it’s given to the attacker, off target goes down as an OG I think.
Well......
Chelsea 0-4 - none from set pieces
Boro 0-1
Southampton 1-1 goal resulted from a free-kick I think ?
West Ham 3-1 - nope, open play
Stoke 1-1 - nope, open play
Coventry 3-1 - nope, open play

Local chatter (gossip, probably nothing more than that) is that work on his house has more or less stopped because he is ‘moving up North when the season finishes’.
Sincerely hope not, but accept he’ll probably have to if he wants to play for England (wrong as that is).
This for me......he’s always been able to tackle and block and been a decent ballplayer, but the way he’s matured in the last couple of seasons is remarkable. Must be a lot of credit due to CH here I reckon. Taking on the captaincy seems to have upped his concentration even more (have a look at...
