"Standout stat – Brighton centre-back Lewis Dunk managed to put the ball into his own net four times in 2017/18."

There but the grace of God goes Duffy, who could easily have had 4 own goals himself. When will these journalists realise that if you're going to be top of the Prem "Most Blocks" charts you're going to pick up a few own goals along the way. Here I see Duffy (59) and Dunk (58) were head and shoulders ahead of the next nearest in the mid-40s.

In Major League Baseball 2017 the guy who struck out the most (208 - Judge, Yankees) is also the guy that hit the second most amount of home runs (52). Any journo who dismissed Judge for striking out too much would be regarded as a fool, but over here pundits and journos get away with it year after year. It wouldn't surprise me if the "4 own goals" thing is the reason why Dunk is well down the pecking order of centre backs for England.

BEST OF on Sky.
There is a 30 min 'Best of Brighton 2017/18' on Sky but I cant find it. Caught the last seconds the other day. Anyone know if it will be repeated. Not on TV Guide.

"Seven points clear of the relegation zone, closer to a top-half finish than the dreaded drop, this has been a wonderfully successful first Premier League season for Brighton.

The Seagulls began the campaign among the favourites to finish in the bottom three, yet Chris Hughton’s men have, at every turn, looked every bit a top-flight outfit. Through organisation and efficiency, not to mention key performances from previously unheralded players such as Glenn Murray and Lewis Dunk, Brighton have exceeded expectations."
