Fair enough, it's the incessant branding that gets me, it is no longer "The fastest top flight goal" but the fastest Premier League goal. FUCK OFF.

Shane Long has scored after 7 seconds, breaking the previous record of 10 seconds held by Ledley King 19 years ago.

The BBC did a piece on whether anyone will match the 260 prem goals Alan Shearer scored the other day. The main body of the text even mentioned he scored 23 times for Soton in the top league but they don't count presumably because that division didn't have the right name.
