365 - The loudest sound in decibels coming from Mr LBNo11, during one of the games one of his yells was heard as far away as New Zealand.

[finnster01]

How about the fact that Brede Hangeland scored 6 goals in the Prem which is twice as much as he ever scored in any other season including a weak Norway and Denmark league.? Feck Delap and Huth and Stoke, Hangeland had to actually plan and think where to jump for his goals, including his feet

[elgreenio]

no mention of Danny Murphy leading the passing charts this season either, though thats in another Opta article somewhere
