Whilst credit has to go to the manager for buying so well, you can’t help but wonder just how successful we might have been since 2005 if not held back by the Glazers. United are the “most valuable sporting franchise” in the world, according to Forbes, so why is that 13 teams in the Premier [...]
Robert Peston from the BBC has concluded the following from the latest Deloitte annual review: – If you combine spending per unit of output with success in winning trophies, there is no doubt that Alex Ferguson is incomparably the most successful manager in the UK. United’s wage bill per Premier League point is £1.6m, just [...]
Manchester Utd are the only unbeaten side in the Champions League this season (nine wins, three draws). Barcelona’s only defeat in the Champions League this season was in London, when they lost 2-1 at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium last February. Barcelona are the best attacking side in this season’s competition with 27 goals while Manchester United [...]
Dimitar Berbatov has scored the most winning goals in the Premier League this season. 7. Paul Scholes completed 61 passes in 28 mins v Blackburn on Sat, more than any Rovers player has in an entire game this season. Since August 2005, nobody has scored more Premier League goals than Wayne Rooney. 91. Only two [...]
Following on from yesterday’s article which argued against the section of United fans who have been critical off Dimitar Berbatov because of his goal distribution, we will now be looking at how he compares with all our top scorers during the Premier League years. We have looked at how many goals each of our top [...]
After spending the first two years of his Manchester United career being criticised by large sections of our support, Dimitar Berbatov has shone this year. He was the first Premier League striker to ten goals, then the first to twenty goals and with three games left to go, he is still the league’s top scorer. [...]
You’ll notice that some of the league positions over-lap. This is because differing cup commitments meant they were out of sync and had games in hand at different points in the season, so this doesn’t represent league positions week by week, but game by game. ———- If you enjoy reading this blog, please take a [...]
- P8 W6 D0 L2 – Before now, he has been banned for 2 games in 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2003. – With today’s ruling, his fines total £75k. Games won: Everton, Portsmouth, Blackburn Rovers, Sunderland, Birmingham and Leeds. – Games lost: v Fulham (1-3 in 2003) and at West Ham (1-2 in 2007) ——— [...]
With United not showing enough passion or determination in another big game, here’s some quick stats to see how the top 6 clubs have got on in head to heads this season. It’s interesting to note that United have played more games against top 6 opposition than any other club in the top 6 so [...]

We’ve taken stats to show the most effective players in the league, in terms of goals and assists. We’ve also looked at the most effective goalscorers, judging by how many goals they’ve scored per minute on the pitch (for player who have played in more than 500 minutes – over 5 league games). Just for [...]
This isn’t a science. There are certain things which play a part and mean the statistics aren’t 100% fool-proof. Things to consider: 1. Away fans – How many away fans attend obviously has an impact on attendances. This doesn’t effect all clubs in exactly the same way. 2. Ticket prices – The price of tickets [...]

Wayne Rooney had a passing success rate of just 50% and only 3 successful passes going forwards in the opposition’s half. Darren Fletcher (80%) and Michael Carrick (82%) had surprisingly high passing completion rates. Although what caused the worry during the game was that 45% of the unsuccessful passes came from our own half. Spurs [...]
