Revealed: Guardian study how Man. Utd get more injury time...

We all knew it, but that is appalling.

Does it all really make any difference though? Both teams get the time added on, not just Utd. If one team decides to go all out for victory then surely that's good for the excitement of the game isn't it? At the end of the day, both city and utd had 95mins and 26seconds to score as many as they could.

Of course it makes a difference. In any game at any level, the home team - if behind (or at least not winning) - invariably press hard and push for the goal they need - while they away team hang on to what they've got.

for time added on when the home teams are in front

Quote:
The average stoppage time added at Old Trafford in the period in question is below that given at Anfield, the Emirates Stadium and Stamford Bridge. United's is 205 seconds, compared to Liverpool's 210sec, Arsenal's 224sec and Chelsea's 229sec.

Weren't those averages for all injury time (both when winning and losing) at the homes of the big four?

What I was after was whether the same thing happens at ours, the Arses or the Chavs when any of us are losing compared to when we are winning.
