If Everton beat West Ham will the BBC do a top 7?

Have you considered the fact that Liverpool were recent multiple European cup and league titles winners whereas United had just come back from relegation and hadn't won anything for years?

But yeah, it's a conspiracy man.

Utd were 3rd in the top tier and nailed on favourites Saints were 6th in Division 2, I still remember it being a very pleasant shock result.<whistle>

Indeed.

That fails to consider the other points I make as to why the Wimbledon win was the bigger shock.

Liverpool won the league in '88. Nothing else.
 
It was a cross anyway.

Just saying......

Maybe, but it had **** all to do with everyone stopping because the whistle had gone. It hadn't, and if they were playing to the flag they damn well shouldn't have been. The goalie wasn't, and the defender wouldn't have got to him anyway.

Just saying...like.

Surely Wigan's FA Cup final win over Man City would be the bigger shock if considering their finishing league positions of that season (1st vs 18th)

However, with everything in context, 1988 takes some beating tbf

I agree that the flag didn't affect the nearest defender or the keeper, I thought you meant that he was saying that Moreno knew the flag was up and there was therefore no pressure on him. Which might have been right had it not been a miscued cross....

No, he specifically said whistle.
 
Hey, if you don't want to accept that at the time Liverpool were the major force in English football and that at the other time United were not, hence Wimbledon being the bigger shock, that's up to you.

No, I'm trying to say the chasm between 1st and 6th in the same league is nowhere near as great as 3rd in the top league (when there was 22 teams in it) and 6th in the league below. It's a maths thing, you wouldn't understand.
 
BBCSSG's new addition to the franchise are their final hope in this years CL after acquiring the services of G Neville.
The other teams in the franchise's stable Salford City and the club over the road will no doubt be cheering Valencia on just like the men in suits at company HQ.

Just posted on the manc board:

Louis van Gaal: Manchester United are better than last year
Manager Louis van Gaal said "facts" proved his Manchester United side were better than last year, after they were knocked out of the Champions League.

United failed to qualify for the last 16 after a 3-2 defeat at Wolfsburg.

Van Gaal said reaching the group stage, progressing further in the Capital One Cup and sitting fourth in the Premier League showed their improvement.

However, he said: "I cannot defend myself because we are out of the Champions League."

FAAACHTS!!!

Couldn't ****ing make it up <laugh>
