United thread 2017/18

[ancoats]

its now 6th biggest game of the season and just behind celtic vs rangers of any important to the game in winning titles

 

[Easy]

it is a big game. its a 3 way race for 4th along with arsenal. top 3 is done and dusted with us the chavs and spurs so that 4th spot is up for grabs. two of the managers of those three also rans will lose their jobs.

This. Surprisingly this is the miniority view here.

Actually the facts (if they are the facts) are a bit sobering

Sky report from last year

"An estimated 700m people worldwide tuned into their last meeting in March 2015, when Steven Gerrard was sent off seconds after coming on and Juan Mata's scissor-kick stunner sealed victory for United at Anfieldh Real Madrid, which took place later that day, was watched by an estimated 400m-500m people. The Champions League final in June had less than half the estimated viewers of the Liverpool v United clash across the planet.

Manchester United's win at Liverpool was also shown in more countries than any other fixture - over 200. That's four times as many as the latest El Classico"

Not that sobering the manchester derby in 2012 attracted 650 million
and in 2016 the manchester derby apparantley attracted 901 million according to world soccer magazine

Both were a record at the time
oh and we won both (1-0 and 1-2)
