we should ban a few users from entering any berbatov threads. Give them one official anti berbatov thread where they can bang their heads upon after every game like how he looks like a dracula, how shit he looks with those long sleeves etc

Nah, tbh they are entitled to their view, it'd be a pretty shit forum with that kind of Stalinist policy.

Even Ronaldo struggled in the bigger games (except arsenal)

Against Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, Rooney and Ronaldo both have 9 goals in 39 career games, obviously well down on their normal scoring rate. That is to be expected of course, just a quick glimpse at our recent striker shows it is a theme, Saha 4 in 21, Van Nistelrooy 8 in 32, Solskjaer 8 in 48, Cole 11 in 43, Yorke 10 in 25, Sheringham 6 in 23. Berbatov has 1 in 10, Tevez had 3 in 11. Cantona had 9 in 25, but The top 4 as we know now was not really established during his time.

These games are usually tight and cagey and it is rare that you get a lot of goals, big players tend to be the destructive ones.

Scholes would have a not bad record.

Can think of 2 v Arse
4 v Chelsea
1 v the vermin

off the top of my head, there must be more?

Beckham 11 in 48 starts*.

Top red.




* Another 4 as sub. Charity shielf (i.e. friendlies, not included).

Great goal but needs to do that more. Eric would win matches destined for a draw with goals like that half a dozen times a season.

Exactamente.

Forlan

5 (4) - 4 goals.

Amazing what you can do with statistics.

Ah...

I didn't include games vs the bitters.

Top four sides are harder to score against.

Simple really.

90% of player's records against the top sides are poor.

Scholes had 6 in 34 against Chelsea, 3 in 28 against Arsenal and 2 in 27 against Liverpool, making for a combined 11 in 89

Beckham has 11 in 58.

Giggs has a terrible scoring record in these games, 10 in 118, which in many ways goes to show you how pointless they are, because for much of his career he has been one of our best players in the big domestic matches.

the only significant statistic is if we win the games and win the league

Yup, it's silverware. not statistics in the end I suppose.

Was a very good goal. Almost on a par with Smudger's against Norwich imo.
