Everton haven’t beaten Liverpool in 10 years and haven’t beaten them at Anfield this century.
Reina played for Barca before Mason Greenwood was born and has had a career that has spanned conceding from to Gary McAllister to Mason Greenwood.
Look at Buffon though. Maradonna was still playing when he started. Even Ronald Koeman.
Mourinho team have the record for most goals ever in a top league, RM 11/12 season.
When you watch how dull his Spurs side is, or how dull United was under him, its difficult to grasp.

In regards to United and the top 4 race:

Sean Dyche is the longest serving manager at his current club in the PL, Jurgen Klopp is the second. Klopp has currently managed the longest spell in the PL itself.
Dyche to Liverpool it is then when they get relegated this year. Klopp to Barca.
Had to double check when I heard this on the radio this morning but it's true....Bale scored more league goals for Real Madrid than Hazard last season.
Christian Benteke is now third on Palace's all time Premier League scoring list, despite only scoring 7 in his last 82 games...
That is grim
.Jesus
Gordon Strachan, born 1957, was the only player born befoe 1960 to score a Premier League hat trick.
I had to read that a couple of times. Incredible to think the PL is not far off 30 years old.
To add to that strange stat about Benteke, Luka Milivojević is in 2nd place, and 89% of his goals are from set pieces, 78% of which being penalties.
Yep. Strachan made his debut for Dundee in 74.

This wasn't particularly surprising when it was in a period where Barcelona had one of the all time best club sides
Montpellier HSC legend Michel der Zakarian ruptured his ACL in the 16th minute of a 1990-91 Cup Winners Cup game against MUFC at Old Trafford.
He played the rest of the match before being operated the next day.

I think 02/03 was the only time he even played a semi final.
Dnipro who lost to Sevilla in the Europa league final in 2015, don’t exist anymore.
The phoenix club is now Dnipro-1
It seems that they went through some financial mismanagement and couldn't pay off debts.
Weren't they bank rolled by a sugar daddy that pulled out or somesuch?
