Tweet @SkyFootball using the hashtag #TylersTeasersMartins starting statI was at Liverpool v Tottenham on Saturday to see Philippe Coutinho score his 10th goal of the season and his seventh in the Premier League - but only his second at Anfield. The other was at home to Crystal Palace in November.Harry Kane became Spurs top scorer in a Premier League season with his 22nd goal. The last Spurs player to score more than 21 league goals in one season was Gary Lineker in 1991/92 with 28 goals.Kane became the first Spurs player to score 20+ league goals in successive seasons since Martin Chivers from 1970-72. He is only the fifth Englishman to do it in successive seasons after Alan Shearer, Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand and Andy Cole.Saturday was Liverpools 50th game of the season. They have played four periods of extra-time and three penalty shoot-outs and will reach at least 60 games this year.Spurs dont often win at Anfield. They have only won twice in the Premier League era (a 2-1 win in 1993 and a 2-0 win in 2011). Danny Rose is the only current Spurs player to have won with Spurs at Anfield. Hugo Lloris has done it with Lyon and Moussa Dembele did it with Fulham.Early knockout Aston Villa supporters hold protesting banners Whats the earliest a club has been relegated from the Premier League? (Keith, Solihull)MARTIN SAYS: I have a suspicion you may be an Aston Villa fan, Keith!As Im sure youre aware, defeat at home to Chelsea on Saturday left Villa hanging onto their top-flight status by their fingertips. Indeed, their fate can be sealed this coming Saturday if Norwich, who travel to Crystal Palace, better Villas result at home to Bournemouth.If results transpired against Villa, relegation could be confirmed on April 9. In terms of the date in the calendar, it would be the third-earliest relegation in Premier League history. Only two sides, Derby (March 29, 2008) and Leicester (April 6, 2002), will have dropped into the second tier of English football sooner.Earliest relegations (date)Derby - 29/03/08 (32 games)Leicester - 06/04/02 (34 games)Portsmouth - 10/04/10 (33 games)Sunderland - 12/04/03 (33 games)Sunderland - 14/04/06 (33 games)If Villa are relegated on Saturday it would come after 33 matches. Only one side, Derby in 2008, has been relegated after fewer matches.Earliest relegations (number of games)Derby (2007/08) - 32 gamesPortsmouth (2009/10) - 33 gamesSunderland (2002/03) - 33 gamesSunderland (2005/06) - 33 gamesLeicester (2001/02) - 34 gamesWest Brom (2002/03) - 34 games1-0 to the champions Leicester favour a 1-0 scoreline of late Who has recorded the most 1-0 wins in a Premier League season? Who has the most in a row? Is it Leicester? (James, High Wycombe)MARTIN SAYS: League leaders Leicester are currently on a four game 1-0 winning streak - a feat only achieved three times previously in Premier League history.Liverpool won their last game of the 2012/13 season 1-0 against QPR and then opened the 2013/14 season with 1-0 wins over Stoke, Aston Villa and Man Utd. That season they famously went on to finish second in the Premier League.Arsenal also won four straight games 1-0 in March 1998 (against Wimbledon. Manchester United, Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton) - and they went on to win the title that year.However, the record is held by Everton who won FIVE games by a 1-0 scoreline in October/November 2002 when they beat West Ham, Leeds, Charlton, Blackburn and West Brom. They finished seventh that season.Leicester can equal that record against Sunderland on Super Sunday and potentially break it against West Ham the following weekend.Leicester have won seven games 1-0 this season, but Chelsea have the record for the most 1-0 wins (11) in a single season recorded in 2005 - the same year they won the Premier League trophy.Chelsea (2003/04), Everton, Liverpool (both 2005/06) and Manchester United (2008/09) have all recorded 10 1-0 wins in a season, but of that group only Manchester United went on to win the league.Free-kick kings Dimitri Payet curls another stunning free-kick Could Payet get the record for the most direct free-kicks in a PL season? (Nicholas, Wanstead)MARTIN SAYS: Dimitri Payet may have scored another stunner of a free-kick against Crystal Palace over the weekend but he still hasnt made the top 10 scorers of direct free-kicks in a season.He has in fact only scored two in the Premier League, with two coming in the FA Cup and one while on international duty for France. There is however still time to add to his tally.The record, perhaps surprisingly, is held by former Newcastle player Laurent Robert, who scored FIVE goals direct from free-kicks in 2001/02. Most direct free-kicks in a season Player Number of free-kicks Season Laurent Robert 5 2001/02 David Beckham 4 2000/01 & 2001/02 Cristiano Ronaldo 4 2007/08 & 2008/09 Gianfranco Zola 4 1998/99 & 2002/03 Ian Harte 4 2000/01 Losing streaks Gabby Agbonlahor and Ashley Westwood of Aston Villa show their frustration after Evertons third goal Villa have lost seven games in a row for the second time this season - whats the longest consecutive losing streak in Premier League history? (Alex, Tamworth)MARTIN SAYS: Aston Villa are indeed once again on a horrendous run of form. They are however a long way off the record set by Sunderland across two seasons.The Black Cats lost 15 games on the bounce as they were relegated in 2002/03 and followed that with five more at the beginning of their next season in the top flight (2005/06).No other club has lost nine Premier League games in a row, but defeat this weekend against Bournemouth - which could see them relegated - will see Villa join a band of 11 clubs with eight consecutive defeats: Charlton, Crystal Palace, Ipswich, Leicester, Man City, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Portsmouth, Reading, Wigan and Wimbledon.Young guns Jonathan Leko (left) made Premier League debut West Broms Jonathan Leko was the first player born in 1999 to play in the PL at the weekend. Who were the previous youngest players? (Christian, Sutton Coldfield)MARTIN SAYS: Jonathan Leko became only the 15th youngest player to make his debut in the Premier League at 16 years, 11 months and nine days. He was 276 days older than Matthew Briggs who made his debut for Fulham against Middlesbrough nearly nine years ago. Youngest PL players Player Age (days) Team Date Matthew Briggs 5912 Fulham 13/05/07 Isaiah Brown 5961 West Brom 04/05/13 Aaron Lennon 5973 Leeds 23/08/03 Jose Baxter 6035 Everton 16/08/08 Rushian Hepburn-Murphy 6042 Aston Villa 14/03/15 The forward is also the first Premier League player to be born in 1999 but there are five who have been born in 1998 and surely it wont be long until we get our first player born after the year 2000.

Green Bay Packers Jace Sternberger Jersey . -- Martin Kaymer never lost sight of opportunity even amid so much evidence of trouble in the closing stretch Sunday at The Players Championship.It was the final day of training camp in September of 2001 and I opened the door to the Senators coaches office. There, I saw a teenaged boy with tears in his eyes, being consoled by strength and conditioning coach Randy Lee. Jason Spezza had just been delivered the devastating news that he would be returned to junior hockey – the final victim of the roster cuts made by general manager Marshall Johnston and head coach Jacques Martin. At the time I was a fairly inexperienced member of the Senators PR department, but I knew that Spezza was not ready to deal with the media. He flatly told me he didnt want to answer any questions that morning. However, it was just past 10am and reporters were going to start trickling into the building at any moment. We made the decision to get Jason out of the rink before any cameras showed up and caught footage of him looking so despondent. I went outside to the hallway and found that an Ottawa Citizen reporter had been the first to show up. But there was nobody else around, so I told him he needed to have his photo taken for his 2001-02 season pass, and I walked with him down to the security area. And once I did that, Lee helped escort Spezza out of the rink going the opposite way – so that nobody from the media could see him. I dont think you could really blame him in that situation. He was 18 years old and just had the rug pulled out from underneath him. He exceled at every level when it came to hockey, so being returned to the OHL was something he never fathomed. A few hours later, Jacques Martin would make his infamous statement that Jason was "a boy playing a mans game" – and maybe it was true on that day. But it seemed like that label stuck to Spezza for his entire tenure in Ottawa, like a stubborn piece of gum at the bottom of his shoe. He was never quite good enough for some people in this market. Even after his heroics as a 19-year-old in the playoffs in 2003 – when he scored a goal and added an assist in a must-win Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final against the New Jersey Devils – there were lingering doubts about his ability as a player. The very next year, Jacques Martin made him a healthy scratch for several playoff games against the Toronto Maple Leafs. A trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2007 didnt cement his status in this town, even though Spezza tied for the league lead in playoff scoring. Just a couple of years later, he was booed on home ice during a Game 4 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2010 playoffs. That was almost enough to drive him ouut of town, with general manager Bryan Murray hinting that Spezza told him he was amenable to a trade if one could be executed.ddddddddddddnbsp; And yet three years later he was still here, now wearing the captains "C" on his jersey - which only seemed to make the target on his back even bigger. It was a roller coaster with Spezza from the onset and it seemed the ride never stopped. Every game seemed to be a referendum on whether or not you could win with him. After a while, it gets tiresome. Tiresome for the player. Tiresome for the fans. And tiresome for the organization. And yes - even tiresome for people like me who work in sports talk radio. There are days when I would just have to say "Jason Spezza" on the air and our phone lines would light up. Finally, Spezza himself has had enough. Bryan Murray admitted to the reporters on Wednesday that Spezza has asked to get off this ride. And Im not sure I can really blame him. Hes spent 11 seasons here and has more than paid his dues. In the next few days, you will likely read a ton of internet comments suggesting that Spezza never really embraced Ottawa. And that if he cant stand the pressure of playing Ottawa, he shouldnt let the door hit him on the way out. From my perspective, though, Spezza handled the pressure in this market as well as he could have. He was made the scapegoat on many nights when the team lost. And when he was the star in a Senators victory, too often the sentiment was, "why cant he do that every night?" I believe that day as an 18-year-old was the only time that Jason Spezza ever knowingly ducked the media. He stood in the line of fire and took his lumps on a daily basis for more than a decade. To suggest that he doesnt have the mental toughness to handle a Canadian market is completely erroneous. The guy just spent 11 years in this market, was a point-a-game producer and wanted to be named the captain of this team 10 months ago. If thats shying away from the limelight, I think youre sadly mistaken. We can debate whether the media or the fans pushed another star out of town in Ottawa - although this one feels a little different than the forced departures for guys like Dany Heatley and Alexei Yashin. Daniel Alfredssons exit last summer was a punch in the stomach that nobody saw coming. Spezzas imminent departure, on the other hand, is more like a gradual erosion; something that was inevitable. And when he finally does leave Ottawa, I can guarantee you Jason Spezza wont be shedding any tears.
