For all the joy that scoring a goal brings to the player, team and fans, there is an equal amount of anguish to those on the receiving end.
It's the name of the game, although some teams have had to experience it more than others.
Since the inception of the Premier League in 1992, no fewer than nine teams have conceded 1,000 goals or more, with Chelsea the latest to join the list during their disappointing draw with Burnley.
The '1,000 club' could jump to 11 members by May, if Manchester City concede a further 26 goals this campaign (highly unlikely) and Manchester United concede a further 77 goals (probably the likelier of the two).
