    Interesting stat from King Fut on Elmo. Maybe we should play him up front. He certainly knows how to head the ball.

    Egypt’s Elmohamady named Hull City’s fastest player this season
    by Ahmad Yousef

    Egypt's Ahmed Elmohamady was recorded as Hull City's fastest player in the English Premier League this season.

    Elmohamady clocked an impressive 34.6 km/h which was recorded during Hull City's match against Everton in early December.

    The speed the 27-year-old right wing-back notched is equal to that of Arsenal's fastest player, Alexis Sanchez, and just 0.1 km/h shy of Manchester City's Sergio Aguero, according to a recent study.

    The Egypt international was also the only African player to appear on the charts, which recorded the fastest player from each club.

    There can't be many out field players that have had a run of league games without injury like Elmo. Our most consistent performer, rarely has a bad game.

    Aye. Hasn't the usage of this particular stat been shown up as a prime example of lies, damn lies and statistics.

    If you have put the knockers on him he definitely won't be able to run as fast, even with a sports bra on!

    Tottenham's new signing is about to make him look slow.

    The defender is the new signing, although he might be a midfielder that just tracked back quicker than the defence.

    Don't be mean, he's probably hungover.

    This is a different study to that one which put Jagielka first. This was done more recently, but no idea how scientific either of them really were. How long are these sprints for example? According to this one Barkley has since clocked a faster speed than Jagielka. Diame was our fastest in the previous one but Elmo's record took place since that one was published.

    well its good job he's fast since it was his awful kick that handed the ball straight to them!

    was a bad mistake on my behalf <laugh>

    If only he was consistant at whipping decent balls into the opposition's box he'd be some player.
