• In the "FA Premier League" section, here are the following subsection issues listed below:
  • In "August-October" subsection - for the last sentence of the first paragraph, what does "cleansheet" mean? Is it the same as a "shutout"? In the third sentence of the second paragraph, what is Reebok and where is it located? I am familiar that Reebok is a shoe company, but do they do sponsorship?

• • In "November-February" subsection - for the second sentence of the second paragraph, should hiatus be a better word for "hibernation"? On "Boxing Day", should 26 December also be listed to non-Boxing Day football (soccer) fans? On the first sentence of the final paragraph, when in 1998 did the Manchester-Bolton match take place? Non-football (soccer) fans are not familiar with the 1958 Munich, West Germany air disaster. For the sixth sentence of the final paragraph, should "casualty" list be replaced with "injury"?
