    That's an exact replica of the league table at the end of the season. Failed OP.

    We got 12 and 4 against that year. The season before Chelsea got 11 for and only 1 against.

    I'd prefer the chelsea stat tbh

    The year that Chelsea got 11, Spurs and Swansea both got 0 with 3 and 5 against.
    Liverpool had a bad year with only 6 for and 5 against, while Man Utd were awarded 6 with 0 against.

    The one that stands out to me is Newcastle. They've had more than Spurs, Villa and Everton, despite those clubs being ever present.
    Seems a bit odd, when you consider that the Geordies spent two years outside of the Premier League.
    Blackburn having the tenth most is also a little strange.

    You don't get quality like Balotelli without forking out the cash.

    I don't disagree with your assessment of United's football (although we've scored more league goals this season than champions elect Liverpool!) but the stats cover 22 seasons during which time we've been the most successful league team and Liverpool have been a mid table club turning corners!

    So two myths debunked in one thread. Liverpool can't compete financially and the refs are against them. WRONG and WRONG!

    We've won the league loads of times and are the current champions of everything, you're the deluded one. Man Utd are currently in the conference you have mental issues and believe the visions your seeing.

    You've contracted astro syndrome mate.

    I think there's medication you can get to clear it up, I think you've got quite a bad case though.

    What about penalties awarded against United at Old T.

    Didn't you go ten years without conceding a pen in the league (think two were awarded and missed)

    There is some stat that gradually evolved from myth to fact. It started out as United never conceding penalties at OT when, as you say, the reality was more like penalties were given but happened to be missed (unfairly no doubt!).

    Correct stat is no away player scored a pen at Old T from Ruel fox, 93 to Danny Murphy, 2004.

    Three were awarded and missed.

    Not a lot of pens to be awarded in nearly 200 prem games though
