Post of the year already on a ManU thread elsewhere

United text me Happy Birthday today. Not my birthday for 3 days. Can't even get that right.

I don't think that's the post of the year tbh honest imo

Not even worth posting if we're being honest.

A slight exaggeration you might say, but makes a break from the interminably boring and flappy copy and paste jobs from The Athletic which are infesting the various football boards. Which have little to say, and all the space on the internet to do it.

Meh, cba

Couple of people in the media saying Rashford will be out 3 months not 6 weeks.

And I caught 5 mins of SSN where they wheeled out a back surgeon who said the same. And if any stage of that 3 month period doesn't go to plan he could well be starting from scratch.

Then Jamie O'Hara (ex Spurs?) was interviewed - he'd had the same injury - and said even after he was supposedly "fit" he still suffered ongoing pain and it was never completely right.

I like that part about the ongoing pain. Hope he suffers with it, long after he retires.

You referring to O’Hara?

Assume so since Rashford hasn’t done much to get to this elite level of loathing.

(...yet)

[Norbs]

That's weird, Pink

And what's O'Hara done Fivex, apart from being a bit of a bell?

Ole's Premier League win rates since permanent appointment:

Games played: 31
Overall wins: 35.4% (11/31)
Wins where United haven't been awarded a penalty: 16.1% (5/31)

Is that 'where they haven't had a pen' stat for real?

Its ****ing glorious that united are in the wilderness

Well it's obviously very selective as it is counting the games where they had a penalty in the total but excluding the wins. Really, it should only total games with no penalty.

Unbelievable bit of management from the Gollum and Manc medical staff. Find it hard to believe this is happening in this day and age, given how much medical care has advanced. Gross negligence from everyone involved.

Total stats say they have 11 wins from 31 games, they have won 5 games were they haven't been awarded a pen. meaning that of the 11 games they have won in 6 they have been awarded a penalty and only 5 where they haven't (unless I am missing something)

To me it looks like standard manipulation to emphasise a point. Sort of stat where team a hasn't beaten b in the league for 20 years but for 18 of those they played in different divisions.

The matches they have had a penalty should come of both sides of the equation really.
