Fact of the day : Magpie Madness, The Times, author: Bill Edgar

[Piethagoram]

1 set of magpies are the first team since 1984/5 to have both scored and conceded  at least 51 goals at this stage of a top flight campaign (Newcastle)

and another group of Magpies are the first since 1966/7 with at least 76 goals scored and conceded at this point in a league campaign, in any division (Notts)

...County's 40 match figure  is the highest since West Ham United's 57 seasons ago

I'd prefer to highlight the fact that after 41 games we have scored 80 goals which is currently the highest in league 2.

Notts have now scored 197 league goals and are on course to score over 200 league goals in two consecutive seasons.

That is a phenomenal effort from the Notts County Team.
