Reading those stats it's not really saying anything too amazing, is it? When teams are drawing (or winning) at Old Trafford, they generally try to waste time. It's a natural defence. As a result, more time is added on - and by the laws of the game, rightly so. It doesn't take a genius to work that out! That goes the same with all the top clubs, and as City improve and a draw at the COM becomes a great result in some peoples eyes, you'll see more of it there too.

Mate, that analysis has no credible basis. It may 'make sense', but where's your proof.

Yesterday, Mutt1 produced an unconvincing stat that was also reported on SSN. Look on the United forums and all you can read is "that proves Hughes is full of it" and "this proves there is no such thing as Fergie Time etc... When The Guardian reported the stats (link above) that indicated United get additional help from refs, it's all apparently a lie and an ABU conspiracy

Leeds v Liverpool 10 years a go would have been a good game for sky.

But they've not won anything for years, their on the decline, their fans are vile and now living of their history....as for Leeds

Can always rely on a bitter for a good laugh.

Who do you have in this round?


I'm hoping Rafa gives a few of the reserves a run out, I'd love to see Pacheco, Dalla Valle or Amoo given a run out. Would be nice to see Kelly and Ayala at the back, too.

He's got a point though Robbie. To be fair it's not just Leeds and Liverpool, it's the whole competition. It's craap till the final and even that isn't a must see event.
