Football September 2010

1
Last Saturday (18th) the English Premier League had some interesting results. In all seven of the matches played on Saturday, the away team scored exactly one goal. Four of the matches were drawn, two home wins and one an away win. This excess of draws and the away team scoring one goal could, of course be a coincidence, but I'm not sure.

The times of the away goals are also interesting.

12.45 Stoke 1-1 West Ham (away goal 32)
15.00 Aston V 1-1 Bolton (away goal 35)
15.00 Blackburn 1-1 Fulham (away goal 56)
15.00 Everton 0-1 Newcastle (away goal 45)
15.00 Spurs 3-1 Wolves (away goal 45)
15 00 West Brom 3-1 Birmingham (away goal 15)
17.30 Sunderland 1-1 Arsenal (away goal 13)

We have three pairs or near pairs and an odd one: 13 and 15, 32 and 35, 45 and 45, and the late 56.

I have not been able to find clear indications for these yet so thoughts would be appreciated.
