I don't think "surprising" is the word you were looking for. Giggs longest serving player...? Aston Villa most Englishmen...? Liverpool most foreign...? Crouch is tall...? Arsenal is young...? I think the word is "duh".

Interesting post. You should have worded the bit on Michael Pollitt a bit more clearly. It could be read that he's played for 14 clubs in the Premier League and that's not the case.
He's bounced around the lower leagues quite a bit in his career. His list of clubs is:

Manchester United
Oldham Athletic
Bury
Lincoln City
Darlington
Notts County
Gillingham
Brentford
Sunderland
Rotherham United
Chesterfield
Wigan Athletic
Ipswich Town
Burnley

It's also perhaps out of line to call Danny Shittu that 'fattest' player in the league. Even though you list him as ~ 220 lbs....the lad is 6 foot 3. He looks like he's in pretty good shape and Bolton's official site lists him as 15 stone or 210 pounds.

Maybe it's just me and the fact I'm "old" but an average age of 27.48 years as the average age of the oldest squad (Hull) doesn't seem that old.
Off the top of my head I'd have gone for Arsenal as the more foreigners
