One final stat from Sunday, who is falling off the f****ing perch?

Posted by

Here is one final stat from last Sunday’s game that is very revealing. I took the ages of the starting 11 from both teams and averaged them. Check out who has the youngest team? Liverpool is younger by 4 years. I was very kind to United as I did not count the fact that 4 of their veterans have their birthdays coming up in the next month. I also understand that United have some good young players but so does Liverpool (actually our reserves beat their reserves recently and we played most of the game with a man down).

Looks like Fergie is not the only one who is going to retire soon.

  1. This is a really promising stat! I mean you could add that to the fact that our other goalscorer is only 20!! you know… wash Ngog….

    Maybe some kind soul could send some zimmer frame catalogues and stanna stairlift reps to whatever nursing home the manc oaps play bingo at.

    Oh and don’t forget the hearing aids and the sherry.
