Ah, didn't realise it didn't include the FA Cup.
Making this thread should be an automatic ban.
Sorry
And that's how you properly jinx a 40 year old record. Congratulations @Chief123
50/1 United half time, Everton full time, if anyone wants guaranteed money.
Which team is going to bring that to an end? It’s going to be Everton now right?
Preston North End in May 2027.
Because it would have been a late Utd equaliser that would have kept the record in tact? We’re discussing which game would have been close to losing the record.
Absolutely nailed on it will be a game that ended 2-2.
Oh my bad I misunderstood!
This is a joke thread but we surely lost with Van Gaal when we went through all those 0-0s at half time?
Oh dear….bless you.
The irony is I think Everton might just well have been the last team to genuinely come close to breaking the record (honestly didn’t time this with them in mind tomorrow).
We were winning 1-0 at half time last season before Townsend equalised and then Mina scored a winner for Everton in the 85th minute only for VAR to rule it marginally offside.

It's a bit higher than this, OP title is from July 2022, the below is from February 2023.
I appreciate the irony. Please back up your reasoning.
Ah yes you’re right. The only one added to this is the 3-0 win at home to Leicester.
I’ll update the title!
I hope you’re not serious? I worry you are.
Good point! I remember in the Moyes era, teams that hadn't won in OT for 30, 40, 50 years were now all of a sudden filling their boots! Unbeaten records falling all over the place! I'm also amazed this record predates even the Fergie era, to a time in the mid 80s when United teams were extremely erratic to say the least!
It’s not too surprising when you think under Moyes and Ragnick, we’d normally concede first and lose or score first but concede an equaliser before half time. The stat does need to be put into context.

Most of LVG games were 0-0 at half time, hence the stat couldn’t apply to them either.
Ironically that 4 4 draw when Fellaini scored twice after we were 4 1 up
I think Everton’s game last season was probably closer as they actually got a winner but had it disallowed in 85th minute.
But yeah Everton have come close twice now.
Yes didnt think of that one.I think Everton’s game last season was probably closer as they actually got a winner but had it disallowed in 85th minute.
But yeah Everton have come close twice now.
I swear to the lord if this goes now....
you better prayCame in here to post exactly this.
OP should never be allowed to create another thread again. Ever.
I’ve been thinking about this thread all game. fecking idiot.
In case I don’t get the opportunity again, I’d just like to wish you all the best in the rest of your life. Have a nice life. Have a nice death.
Or even exist?
Brilliant thread
I was kind of hoping for an Everton equaliser before half time to save my skin
So guaranteed we won’t lose then?
You can go as well if Everton win.
Actually the closest it’s got to going in recent years was Everton last season. 1-0 up at half time, they scored in the 85th min to make it 1-2, but it was disallowed.

Call off the hit.
Reprieved!

This thread can no longer be a jinx as it only applied to the next game. This thread can live on peacefully now.
