Now that's a mad one.
Facts about football that shouldn't be true - but are
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
In a similiar vein, Patrick Kluivert and Ruud Van Nistelrooy are the same age (born on the same day I think)
Feels like they were part of two totally different eras
The stat even works with Amorim, actually!
100% of texts Tottenham fans have sent to celebrate a trophy they just won were after their 2008 league cup win.
Because all their others were before the invention of the SMS.

Ronaldos first season (2021/22) back with United was his 2nd best goalscoring PL season ever at United.
That's actually insane.
That’s a good one
For the record.
2003/04 aged 18 and turned 19 in February - appearances 26 goals 4
2004/05 aged 19/20 - appearances 33 goals 33 goals 5
2005/06 aged 20/21 - appearances 33 goals 9
2006/07 aged 21/22 - appearances 34 goals 17
2007/08 aged 22/23 - appearances 34 goals 31
2008/09 aged 23/24 - appearances 33 goals 18
2021/22 aged 36/37 - appearances 30 goals 18
His best goal scoring season with Real Madrid was ten seasons ago 2014/15 with 48 goals in 35 appearances
United conceded a goal directly from a corner in 2 consecutive away games this season. To show how rare that is, we had only conceded 1 in Premier League history Bournemouth away (De Gea in goals)
We have never scored directly from a corner in Premier League history

Dundee United have a 100% winning record against Barcelona (4 games).
Obafemi Martins and Bobby Zamora are the only 2 players to score a penalty in the Premier League with both feet.

That was the 5th Premier League hat trick by a United player since Fergie left
I can remember two by Ronaldo and one by Rashford, who scored the other?
Martial I think.
Wow. Only 5 hat tricks in nearly 12 years. Unbelievable.
Rashford's was the Champions League. The other 2 were Bruno vs Leeds and Martial vs Sheffield United. You're right about Ronaldo

Oh yeah of course, I forgot about the Bruno one.
Tonight was Brighton's first premier league win since 23rd November 2024.
Everton, Leicester, Wolves, Ipswich...and Man. United had all won a game more recently.

Amad Diallo is the third player in Premier League history to score three times in the final 10 minutes of a game after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vs Nottingham Forest in February 1999 and Wayne Rooney vs Hull City in January 2010.
What a record.
Roy Keane only scored 5 FA cup goals
This should be in the facts that should be true thread
And only 2 of them were for United
Keane scoring 5 in the FA cup is normal I think. Just watching Overlap, don't know why the big surprise.
Vieira scored 3, David Silva scored 5, Scholes scored 13 and he was a striker for a while.
Bryan Robson scored 10 and he would have attacked more than Keane. He's scored over double career goals than Keane.

Iheanacho has scored more FA Cup goals than Harry Kane
I highly doubt both those stats are true. What's your source?
Carlo Cudicini took part in the first ever Champions league final in 1993. I swear he didn't enter football until the 00s.
He warmed the bench
I misunderstood what directly from a corner meant. Now that I understand what type of goal you're talking about it's a much more believable stat .
This may not be much of a shocker but thought I'd put it here anyway.
United have failed to score in the first half in 18 of their 24 PL games this season.

Man City have conceded more goals in the Premier League this season than Man United.
That's hilariously disgraceful
Which is nice but they've also scored more then us this season and they're shit by their standards.
Who scored more than Man United doesn't fit in with the topic of this thread.
Point.
Mussolini's great grandson plays for Lazio
Where else should he play? This isn’t something that shouldn't be true, this is something inevitable.
With our injury crisis I'd be tempted to take him. We need a right winger
Just looked it up... Mussolini indeed plays on the right wing, but usually as a RB. Fecks sake
