Blackpool(596)

Hats off to the poor souls who during that period have seen us produce one OG and a penalty.

In other words, we haven't scored a league goal from open play since Hughton took over.

That is the most alarming statistic. Will he make it to Christmas? If that run continues he'll struggle to make October as our manager.

Ince's goal at Charlton (and that was a header from a free kick).

That's more than Ibiza to the Norfolk broads, back to Ibiza and back to the Norfolk broads.

There has been some debate as to whether that counts as open play. Could we be adding a further 140 or so miles to this list?

Absolutely, and there is also BINFEST POTENTIAL from discussing the definition of open play, which I'm always up for.

Why on earth would anyone travel from Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads ?

144 miles to Millwall and back - did you make a detour for a spot of dogging en route

Didn't need to given that dogging is deemed to be a leisure activity in Bermondsey.

Got the mileage from Google Maps, and went M23 and M25, as apparently that is the quickest route.

For me if the first contact is direct from a set-piece, then it is NOT open play. Therefore the Ince goal is not from open play but the direct result of a free-kick which means we have to go back the golden age of the Fulham game (sighs wistfully at the happy but dim and distant memory) for our last beautifully crafted open play goal.

I wouldn't worry; we can always look forward to Posh away - we should score 1 there. Mind you, CMS will score a hatrick for them, ofc.
