You need to print off this thread and wallpaper your house with it.I’ve never sweated so much in a game!
This thread can no longer be a jinx as it only applied to the next game. This thread can live on peacefully now.

You can breathe easy now, Chief
W+D adds up to 310. Where's the feck up
You lucky bastard @Chief123
Different competition.
Phew....
Only applies in prem.
Touché. I was still panicking.
Do we know has it happened in any other comps? Leading at half time and getting beat I mean?
Hahaha.
Given that we were down to 10 men and basically on the ropes when the 2nd goal went in, he should count himself lucky that the game didn't run on for another 10 mins. We'd almost certainly have conceded a 3rd.
But for now.....the record (which even Moyes could not break), stays in tact.
Last year we got knocked out the FA Cup by Middlesbrough after leading 1-0 at half time and drawing 1-1 full time, then losing on penalties. Don't know if that counts though!
Same thing happened v Derby County in 2018 in the League Cup (1-0 HT, 2-2 FT).
The record doesn’t apply to the Europa league though. It’s only the Prem that we hold this remarkable record in.
Even though this thread is about prem games at old trafford it was interesting to see today we’ve got a pretty impressive record even when you include the same scenario in away games.
We’ve not lost leading at half time home or away in the prem in around 130 games I think it was.
