John Terry - Gone

[Lastfootstamper]

While trying to delve deep into our history to see if any of our Victorians would have amassed a fair few, I stumbled across two records we still hold.

Most FA Cup goals conceded: 539: Aston Villa.
Not normally a cause for celebration, but...
Highest FA Cup goal difference: +305: Aston Villa.
Which by my maths puts us level with Kettering on record goals scored, too.

Eh?

Surely if we've conceded the most and have the highest goal difference we must be on our own as having scored the most too?  How can Kettering be level with us if they've conceded fewer and have a lower goal difference?

That hadn't occurred to me, but you're right, how can it be?

If Wikipedia is wrong, can I trust no one?

All rounds   Edit
Most FA Cup goals scored: 844: Kettering town[36]
Most FA Cup goals conceded: 539: Aston Villa.[36]
Highest FA Cup goal difference: +305: Aston Villa.[36]

[TB]

According to the archived copy (from October 2016) of the source Wikipedia references, Kettering Town should be listed with the record "Worst FA Cup Goal Difference (-92).

Most FA Cup goals scored should read: 844: Aston Villa.

Welcome to the post-truth world!  I thought Brexit and Donald Trump's election were the pinnacle of disinformation but this is a whole new level!!!

Just hope that in a month's time Terry''s biggest worry is that he might have to play in  a villa shirt next season at Chelsea in a league game.

Great interview with JT on the official site. So committed and huge desire to still win.

ATAL, many thanks for your message. It’s none of your fucking business is the answer. Maybe if you travel through posts from the past few years you will find the answer you clearly crave.

Lol + applause.

Even the fact that you had to do that publicly speaks volumes, in response to an honest question submitted privately. It's not like I was asking a deeply personal question.

It might not be my business, but maybe don't tell the world with such zeal how much you hate the guy if you're not willing to explain.

Have a great evening.

You’re clearly on some kind of wind up and I appear to be one of the posters you have fixated on for some bizarre reason. Is it because I said the quality control on recent King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard albums appears to have dropped off?

The fact that you're sending people you don't know private messages demanding they justify their public opinion speaks volumes, not the fact that Chris told you it's none of your business. In fact, it's borderline odd.

Sorry to butt in, I haven't been following this discussion too closely but what on earth is this thing of PM-ing questions? This is a public forum isn't it? I'm pretty sure Chris's stance on Terry is well documented on here, if I'd received a PM asking me (politely or not) to explain myself I'd probably react in the same way. The only thing his public reply tells me, ATAL, is that he doesn't appreciate you making it a private matter when his views are already public, if you care to look. I think that's completely fair enough, and I think you need to clamber down off that high horse of yours.

Actually, JD made the rather helpful suggestion that I message him privately. And I didn't demand anything; I asked. I was curious. Nice try though.

As above.

I'll make sure I pass on to JD what a twisted notion you think private messaging is. Not to mention the other H&V users who have sent me messages over the years.
