Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Old Trafford — The stadium hosted the Rugby League World Cup four times: 1995, 2000, 2013, and 2023. This is incorrect; the 2023 Rugby League World Cup was held in 2022, so the year should be 2022.

Old Trafford — [contradicted] Tom Chorlton of Liverpool scored the first ever goal at Old Trafford during the inaugural match against Manchester United on 19 February 1910. :: Sandy Turnbull scored the first ever goal at Old Trafford.

Stamford Bridge — Leeds United's biggest ever win over Chelsea was 7-0, but that match took place at Elland Road, not Stamford Bridge.

Stamford Bridge — During the 1969-70 season, Chelsea and Leeds met six times, but the 5-2 victory for Leeds occurred at Elland Road, not Stamford Bridge; the league match at Stamford Bridge that season ended in a 2-2 draw.

Goodison Park — The 1910 FA Cup Final replay was not hosted at Goodison Park; it was played at Old Trafford.

Goodison Park — The claim that Everton relocated to the Everton Stadium in 2025 is speculative or incorrect as of the current knowledge cutoff; the stadium was not completed or occupied by 2025.

Liverpool FC — The club's original company name was 'Everton Football Club and Athletic Grounds, Ltd.' (not 'Athletic Grounds Company, Ltd.')

Manchester United — The club has been in the top tier since the 1975–76 season, following promotion back after relegation in 1975: Incorrect. The relegation was in 1973–74, and promotion was in 1974–75, so the phrasing is factually wrong about the timing of relegation.

Manchester United — They were the first English club to actually participate in the European Cup in 1956–57 (Chelsea were the first to enter but withdrew before playing): Incorrect. Chelsea never formally entered or withdrew; they were barred by the Football League and FA before

Arsenal FC — The entry states Arsenal's 2026–27 season is their 35th campaign in the Premier League, but the 'STATS' section says 'consecutive_top_flight_seasons=108th'. This is not a contradiction; the 35th refers to Premier League seasons and the 108th to consecutive top

Arsenal FC — The entry states 'pre-season began on a unique note against Spanish side Girona, whom they had previously faced in January 2025 during the Champions League.' Arsenal did not face Girona in the Champions League in January 2025; this is an invented claim.

Aston Villa — The claim that the club won the FA Women's Championship in 2019–20 is incorrect; they won the FA Women's Championship in the 2018–19 season, not 2019–20.

Aston Villa — The statement that the club's promotion in 2019–20 was 'back to the top flight for the first time since 2004' is inaccurate; Aston Villa Ladies were promoted to the FA Women's Super League for the 2020–21 season, and their previous top-flight stint ended in 20

Everton FC — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section incorrectly states that Everton is one of at least five clubs to be founding members of both the Football League (1888) and the Premier League (1992); in fact, Everton is the only club to be a founding member of both.

Everton FC — The entry lists 2004–05 as a season Everton missed the top flight, but Everton finished 4th in the Premier League that season and was not relegated; the correct fourth relegated season is 1950–51.
