Tottenham Hotspur become first to secure shameful Premier League record
Steven Fletcher was up to his old tricks again in north London but to delightful effect this time – for Arsenal fans at least – as the Scottish striker scored a landmark goal in Tottenham’s match against Wolves at White Hart Lane.
Fletcher’s goal which secured a 1-1 draw for his side – which featured Arsenal loanee Emmanuel Frimpong – was the 1,000th goal Tottenham had conceded in the Premier League era.

Indeed, to highlight the defensive masterclass of Arsenal’s local rivals over the years, that goal made Tottenham the first and only team to concede a grand of goals in the top flight since 1992.
Interestingly, seven of those 1,000 league goals Spurs have shipped have come from their own servant Emmanuel Adebayor, who was rampant in north London derbies during his Arsenal days.
Of course, Arsenal greats like Thierry Henry and Robert Pires have also contributed handsomely to building up that tally for Harry Redknapp’s men.
So let’s all say Happy 1000th! to Spurs!
After watching Fletcher’s strike from today’s match, tell us which of Tottenham’s 1,000 conceded goals was your favourite.
[dailymotion id=xnou68]In truth, the fact that Spurs have reached 1,000 first is testament to the fact they are one of only seven clubs to have played in enough Premier League seasons (all 20 of them) to get close to that tally.
The other six ever-presents and their tallies to date are Everton (961 conceded), Aston Villa (897), Liverpool (729), Chelsea (718), Arsenal (697) and Manchester United (648).
Only four clubs in Premier League history have conceded fewer goals than one per game on average: United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
glad i’m one of the first to congratulate them on this milestone. here’s to the next 1000.
How does it feel to be 10 points behind a team that has let in 1000 goals …… keep living in the past ……. all that counts is now ……. this season……focus on qualifying for the champions league…..
Hoping they keep up on conceding than scoring.
Wao! Another history in EPL.
I can say that for once, I’m proud of the scum! 😀
I’m proud of the scums,here is to another 1000 before 2015!lmfao
and to many more….
too many to name but 2 that comes to mind right away are:
1. the henry stature goal.
2. the fabregas breakaway from kickoff goal.
BEAUTIES!!!
hahahahaaaaaaaaa! marvelous!!
It migth be worth checking if the spotty spuds have another record – the most managers since the start of the premier league.
Who holds the worst record in the league of ever presents could it be the spotty spuds?
You`ve made my day. But the greatest for me, is still Ray Kennedy`s. I never doubted the double from that moment. Perhaps it rubbed off on the pitch too. But we are Asenal and despite Highway and his near post goal, we came good,
adebayors flick up and volley. awesome goal
Swansea lol ,up yours you stupid gooners,LMAO:)
Dream on Sam. You dumbells are probably delighted to set any record. I think the next target is to register the greatest number of losers in one place since Jehrico – all cheering for the second thousand. Is it our success or your failure that seems to enrage you the greater. Still, after sixty years………
First North London based side to lose to a Welsh club
Well done Gooners

Oh JayJay! Even if we load your guns you screw up. Go buy a map – you know? a book that shows where it`s at? well, perhaps not. OK here`s an easier one, seeing where you come from{ypu`ll forgive my grammatical error} Buy a book, yes I know – but that isn`t the question. I`ll start again. Ask someone who is n
ot as dull as you – there`s lots of them about – what happened in 1927. See? Even you can do it – you can speak clearly, I suppose? We hear such gibberish from up there in riotsville, since you finally w
on the odd game,
Swansea lol! mind the gap fucko’s.
Does anybody know where I can buy a dvd of wenger during the 30 seconds between the 4th and 5th goals today ?
want was the score today, we may have only gained a point yesterday, one point more than your lot COYS
Sixty years on a sinking ship – and now they come creeping out. The deafening silence is broken, I suspect from a floating band of idiots, who are so unaccostomed to success, that they get their jolies from our misfortune, instead of grabbing, what will probably be a fleeting moment in the limelight. Sad really.
Wow, we’re becoming like them. Not winning trophies so resorting to stats. lets see if that fits in our trophy cabinet like our balance sheets.
Hahahaha, where are the spuds now?! Who’s ten points behind now?! Want a lightbulb spurs fans? You’re gonna need it in our shadow! Haha
