Liverpool vs. Chelsea, February 2024 - A record-busting performance from Darwin Núñez that left many in awe. The Uruguayan forward's incredible feat of hitting the post or crossbar four times during a single match is one for the books, and we can't help but wonder what other records have been broken with such remarkable regularity.
Meanwhile, at Chelsea FC, Tyrique George has taken it to a whole new level by scoring his fifth senior goal for the club in different competitions - the Conference League, Premier League, Club World Cup, League Cup, and Champions League. But can this be a record-breaker? Or is there someone who's already achieved what Tyrique has accomplished?
On another note, fans of Manchester United are still reeling from Cody Gakpo's impressive display against their arch-rivals. The Dutch forward's three attempts on goal that somehow managed to hit the woodwork all day long will surely be remembered for a while.
Last week, we discussed some of the shortest managerial reigns in English football history, and now, we have another contender for this dubious distinction - Leroy Rosenior. He was appointed manager of Torquay just 10 minutes before he was sacked by a new consortium. Talk about a whirlwind spell!
However, what really caught our attention was an email from someone who asked us to find out which club was the first to use a P45 statement for their departing manager without a thank-you note. Wolves are the latest example of this trend, and we're on the hunt for that elusive answer.
We also received some fascinating questions about records in football. Who is the only team that has never played top-flight football but still managed to meet everyone's biggest rivals in cup competitions? And what about the record for the shortest-held managerial reigns in Scottish football?
Lastly, we'd love to hear from you - do you have any questions about football history or records that we can help answer? Send us your queries, and we'll do our best to shed some light on them.

i mean, 4 times is a record-breaker no doubt about it... btw, has anyone double-checked if Tyrique George actually scored goals in all those competitions? sounds fishy to me 
, and Tyrique George is getting close to breaking another record 
! Cody Gakpo's goal-scoring streak against Man United is insane 
, and Leroy Rosenior's managerial reign was like a blink of an eye 
!
And what's the shortest managerial reign in Scottish football? 
️
I've got a crush on him 
!
. I mean, four times hit the post or crossbar? That just means he's had a bad day in front of goal, you know? And what about Chelsea's Tyrique George? I think that five-competition stretch thing is overhyped. We all score goals in different competitions, doesn't make it a record 
. And Cody Gakpo's woodwork display was cool and all, but let's not forget the rest of his game 
. Those Manchester United fans are still salty about that one, ain't they? 
So I was thinking, what's up with all these record-breaking performances lately? Like Darwin Núñez's four times hitting the post or crossbar in one match... that's insane! 
Maybe we should dig deeper into football history to find out. What if it's not a record-breaker, but more like a 'what's normal' situation now? 
Anyway, I'm excited to see how this thread unfolds! 
!
anyways, back 2 football... i think its kinda cool how teams are gettin more intrested in cup competitions, maybe we cud learn somethin from them bout teamwork & all that 
and btw did darwin nuñez actually hit 4 woodwork shots in one match? that's just wild 
. Darwin Núñez hitting the post like it's his job 
. Whatever it is, I'm fascinated by it 
. 
, but what does it say about the state of football management? Are clubs really that disorganized or do they just not know how to handle a manager's departure 
. But Leroy Rosenior's managerial reign is wild 
... 10 whole minutes before he got sacked? That's a new one!
