I didn't realise we were part inspiration for Bournemouth's badge (according to The Guardian anyway):

AFC Bournemouth: “I was surprised to discover that the face on Bournemouth’s badge is actually that of Dickie Dowsett, who played for the club between 1957 & 1962,” writes Pete Tomlin. “In his five seasons at Bournemouth he finished top scorer three times and apparently scored a brilliant diving header against Aston Villa which is the inspiration for the badge.”

Ffs, Ollie. If he hadn't scored so early at Brighton we could be top three in that chart.

Just showing that sometimes teams winning at half-time never lose. And forget about the two outliers (and Manure need to be thankful Brooks aimed at the gk twice), we are towards the top of those teams.

1984 is the last time ManU lost a league game at home after leading at HT which is a bonkers record.

To be honest the top 2 have been heavily aided and abetted by dodgy refs for decades now.

it illustrates how officials are intimidated by Anfield and Old Trafford...Liverpool hadn't won the league for ages before Turkey Teeth rocked up, and Utd have been nothing special since Fergie packed it in...
