Funny stats to upset United fans

[East Level 2]

I remember that one. It was the Europa League game in 2008 just before our big takeover happened. It was Vinnys and Zabaletas first season for us.

We played this team from the Faroe Islands and we had to go to Barnsley because the Etihad was being used for a music concert so we couldn't play any football there.

I wonder why they choose Barnsley when they could have picked Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton, Wigan or Huddersfield as suitable alternatives to host a one off game.

Huddersfield was mentioned quite a lot but it was moved to Barnsley quite late IIRC.
I'd been stuck in traffic on the M6 hoping to get to our meeting place before the gang set off for Oakwell.

Since Pep arrived we have:

Amassed 136 more points than them
Won 57 more league games than them
Scored 218 more league goals than them
Won 5 Premier League titles, they've won 0
Won 2 FA Cups, they've won 0
Won 4 league cups, they've won 2
Won a Champions League, they've struggled to even qualify half the time
Equalled their 2 biggest achievements - 3 titles in a row and the treble (beating them in the FA Cup final en route)


It's not been an easy 7 years for United fans.

Plus a Domestic treble.

Shit, I'd forgotten all about this. Imagine the scramble for tickets if that happened these days. Shows how far the club have come.

On nett spend over the last 5 years our trophies have cost us £22m each whereas the RTs have cost them £270m each and if you grade the trophies in order CL, PL, FA, EL and LC it looks even worse for the RTs

The rags once got less than 20,000 v torpedo Moscow at a European game in 92, which was less than 50% capacity. Have City ever had as low an attendance in Europe?

Even madder; we didn’t win any until 2011.

Thomas Cook Trophy, you’ll never win that
