Biggest home win: 9-0, Manchester United vs Ipswich Town (4 March 1995)
Biggest away win: 1-8, Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United (6 February 1999)
There is no doubt in my mind that we could have beaten someone 10-0 at the Etihad last season if we really wanted to.
Yep, that's why I don't think we'll ever score 10 under Pep. I guess we'll just have to make do with winning 7-2 instead ;-)yeah i agree, but i think there are 2 or 3 main factors here;
1 - Pep is big picture, he knows that when youre beating someone 4 or 5 nil then you have a free ticket to take your foot off for 25 mins and consider the coming games. add this up over multiple games.
2 - i think, but dont know, there's a bit of a 'honour' thing going on among managers where most of them dont want to completely humiliate the other, and ease off at 4 or 5, with the odd extra going in sometimes.
3 - simply psychology, teams 7 players just ease off when the job is done, they rarely expend energy totally needlessly
oops correct - memory is fadingProbably 19 minutes. They were behind for 18 minutes in the 2-1 (KDB scored on 47 and they equalised on 75).
You wouldn't be an accountant by any chance, are you?Probably 19 minutes. They were behind for 18 minutes in the 2-1 (KDB scored on 47 and they equalised on 75).
I could answer that but I’d have to charge you.....You wouldn't be an accountant by any chance, are you?
