I do get pissed off with some of the Beebs stats:
Manchester City
•City are yet to lose a league game after opening the scoring this season (W11, D1).
•The 19 Premier League goals City have conceded this season is 10 fewer than Manchester United's total of 29.
•The two Manchester clubs have missed five penalties this season, only one fewer than the rest of the Premier League put together.
They always seem to get the Rag angle in but out of all the stats recently why the fuck would you throw the penalty one in? The Rags have actually missed 3 of them 5 but there's no fucking mention on the Rags preview!
Compare and contrast, could they not get anymore stats on there. Wankers!
Manchester United
•The league leaders now have 55 points from 22 Premier League matches, the club's highest-ever tally at this stage of a top-flight season. Jose Mourinho's 2005-06 Chelsea team are the only side in the Premier League era to fare better, having gained 61 points from their first 22 games.
•United's record of 18 wins from the opening 22 games has only been matched or bettered on four occasions: Preston (18 wins) in 1888-89, Sunderland (19 wins) in 1891-92, Tottenham (19 wins) in 1960-61 and Chelsea (20 wins) in 2005-06.
•Sir Alex Ferguson's side have won nine of their last 10 league games, earning 28 points out of 30.
•They have won eight league matches from losing positions, recovering an unrivalled 24 points.
•They have the most different scorers in the Premier League this season (16).
•However, they have conceded 29 goals - more than nine other sides. The most goals they have conceded in a full Premier League season is 45 in the 1999-2000 title-winning campaign.
•Robin van Persie has scored 65 goals in 77 league appearances since January 2011, and nine in his last nine league games. United have won all 14 league matches in which van Persie has scored.
•Ryan Giggs awaits his 650th league appearance for Manchester United.
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".
The Future's Bright, The Future's Blue!!!
