Irish Premier League Appearances
In last weekends game between Sunderland and Watford, defender John O'Shea reached the landmark of 400 Premier League appearances, as reported by online statisticans Opta. This led us to wonder which current Irish player is next on the list of appearances?
Unsurprisingly, Robbie Keane is next in line to make the landmark. The Republic of Ireland captain has 343 appearances in the Premier League for Coventry, Leeds, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, West Ham and Aston Villa, but of the Irish players currently in the top division in England, who has the most appearances?
Surprisingly enough, it's Stephen Ireland with 235 appearances for Manchester City, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Stoke City! We had thought it would be Glenn Whelan, but he's a close second on the list behind Ireland with 226 appearances, followed by Jonathan Walters, James McCarthy and Shane Long.

Meyler's Influence
At a press conference this week, Roy Keane was asked about David Meyler. His former manager was impressed with his recent performances for Hull City, saying "It's no coincidence that every time I see Hull and they're winning games,
Meyler's playing for them. He wasn't involved as much during their
relegation but he was on their promotion team and he's back now and
they're winning games and Meyler tends to be in the team."
Let's take a look at the influence Meyler has on the Tigers' results since signing for them on 8th November 2012, initially on loan before being made permanent the following January. In that time, Hull have played 146 games across all competitions - league, league cup, FA Cup, and UEFA Cup.
Of those, Meyler has started 97 of these games, leaving 49 games where he didn't start.
Hull won 40 of the 97, drew 18 and lost 39. Of the games where he didn't start, Hull won 15, drew 16 and lost 18.
Laying this out in a table, we can see that Hull are more likely to win if Meyler starts, far less likely to draw, and strangely slightly more likely to lose if he starts
Finally, Keane is correct, Meyler did play less in their relegation season, 2014-15, only starting 19 of their 38 league games!

Irish Abroad player statistics for 2014/15 season
Appearance data for 2014/15: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=14
The Champions League marks the end of the season for the major European football leagues, so we've compile the appearance data for Irish players in England, Scotland and the MLS since 1st July 2015.
Richard Keogh started all but one of Derby County's 54 games, their 3-0 win over Brighton in December was the only game the centre half failed to line up for the rams. For any player, let alone a defender, that's an impressive statistic. Keogh went on to win 26 of the 53 games he started, which along with Aberdeen's Adam Rooney is the most of any Irish player. Of the players who started more than 45 games, only goalkeeper David Forde had started 100% of his club's games, the Galway player started all 50 of 50 games for Millwall. Unfortunately, Millwall's relegation and early exit from both cups meant that Forde also lost the most games, finishing on the losing side 25 times over the course of the season. Ireland and Sunderland captain John O'Shea started the highest number of draws, with 18 of his 43 games finishing all square.
Midfielder Wes Hoolahan was substituted by Norwich managers 28 times in the 31 games he started for Norwich, 90.3%, the next highest percentage of substitutions for a player with over 25 starts is David McGoldrick who was substituted 23 times from 26 starts - 88.4%.
Unsurprisingly, a goalkeeper was the most unused substitute, with Brentford's Jack Bonham remaining on the bench 47 times. He did, however, make one start for the bees, starting in goals for their 2-0 loss in the third round of the FA Cup against Brighton. The combined total of the two highest outfield players, Joey O'Brien (27) and Daniel Devine (28) only just exceeds Bonham's total!Eoin Doyle scored found the back of the net 31 times for two teams in 2014/15, 26 goals for League One side Chesterfield, but only 5 goals after transferring to Championship side Cardiff City - all five of which came in the last eight games of the season. Doyle also scored the most penalties, finding the back of the net nine times from twelve yards. Seamus Coleman was the top scoring defender, with five goals, while recent international debutant Harry Arter matched Jeff Hendrick's total goals from midfield - both Championship player scored nine goals.
Arter also received the most bookings in the season, the London born midfielder was shown the yellow card 13 times in 2014/15, only one ahead of fellow midfielder James McClean.
