Most penalties awarded in a league match in England: Five

The game was Crystal Palace v Brighton in 1989 (I was there). We (Palace) got four and missed three of them, including one from John Pemberton which was worse than Chris Waddle's in the 1990 World Cup. Luckily we still won the match 2-1. Ian Wright scored a beauty before all the penalty madness.

I'm not arsed about derby records over the centures, mitchell. You'll never get me to give up my allegiance whilst the prediction thread is ongoing.

Talking about centuries; only one team in the top flight for more than a century and that's the blue half. Bloody church teams!

I was going to write about how Second Division wins are not comparable to top flight wins but a win is a win no matter what league.
