a defender played for 13months without a foul help us verify if he was a bench type or regular playing

chelsea fans will not be happy with number 3

Nice one.

Apart from me, who else doesn't believe in more than two of the facts up there

Wow, some of these facts are so unbelievable!

Nice one op

hmm bt some are hard to believe...I remember neyma winning player of the month b4 messi looked soo funny bk den, i remember enrique back den saying maybe its bcoz even if messi scores 10 goals in d league its tagged norma..
messi had soo many fantastic nights each weekend bt la liga insisted its normal for him n messi brilliance is bcoz of barca team work...
2..mou not winning coach of d month despite winning d league sounds crazy too
3...lahm 13 months without foul sound too impossible, maybe he played just 1-5 matches dt 13 months due to injury or its just few minutes he played..
BT u nid to explain dt no.2...both av scored in every minutes azin?? hope isnt wat m tinkin??

number 9 don't make sense to me and number 1 op u be big liar

now I think I find it hard to believe No. 11

does it mean there were no "player of the month award" in La Liga prior to Neymar's arrival or something?!?!


Philip Lahm is one of the most experienced defenders I have ever seen, so I ain't surprised at all.

No 1 is impossible 'coz a 'defender' was mentioned here...well am still checking numb. 5.#all english club right?
