Yet we've scored 15 more goals this season than at the same stage last season.
Mainly down to Bruno...
Stats eh...

I was convinced Dino Baggio was the brother of Roberto Baggio...
This one shook me.
I swear he used to be mentioned as such by commentators?
Salford were EFL Cup holders for just 24 hours.
After beaten poopsmuff on penalties in yesterday's Wembly final then Sunderland winning the trophy by beaten Tranmere today.
As poopsmuff were the holders before yesterday's final that means there were 3 holders of the same trophy in the space of just about 26 hours.
That's got to be a record!

Scholes and Rooney played 8 and a half seasons together and Scholes only assisted Rooney on one occasion..
The 2007 semi against Milan.

Just read one stat that blew my mind.
Arsene Wenger has still won more Premier league matches than Tottenham. Wenger is on 476 wins, Tottenham on 475.

That’s fecking mad
Karim Benzema has more goals for Real Madrid than Wayne Rooney has for Man United
That is hilarious, one of the strangest stats for sure.
That one assists counts for 10 though. What a pass that was 
Not that hard to believe. Benzema played No9 for Real every single game, while we played Rooney everywhere on the pitch bar GK and DC.
So does Theo Walcot and Seydou Doumbia.
Thats insane
This is why watching the games is preferrable to jerking off to spreadsheets.
exactly, anyone saying Bruno didn't made us a creditable threat is just a FIFA playing nerd.
West Ham are unbeaten this season against Spurs and everyone else outside the traditional big 6
Edit: Lost to Newcastle early on

They lost to Newcastle. That's their only defeat.
Saw they had 8 defeats and counted Arsenal twice

Scholes' brain operated on a level above, he was a stunning player. Rooney had brilliant footballing intelligence, too, there's just silly stereotypes about him.
I guess in my head Benzema hasn't been there more than a decade, while the narrative came out that he was "underwhelming" compared to Ronaldo. His record is anything but!
R9 had a weirdly poor CL career for such a sensational player playing for multiple fantastic teams in Europe.
Iirc balotelli had 1 assist his whole man City career. No prizes for guessing the goal.
Just to be sure: you do know that neither of these players is Lindelof, right?Read the other day that Lindelof is 6' 2", so equals to Rio and 1" shorter than Vidic.
And I'm talking about their height.
There must be some optical illusion involved?
Scholes was so overrated. I mean, how could anyone think otherwise with such a poor assist record to the White Pelé?
Not that hard to believe. Both spent 12 years at their clubs and Benzema always played centre forward, while Rooney played left wing, number 10 & central midfield in several games.
Just wait until you see his assist record for the actual Pele, it's abysmal!
No Rio or Vidic also.
He even played LB! (Against Barca but still)
1 in 3 goals West Brom have scored this year in the PL have been against Chelsea
(and 1 in 4 Chelsea have conceded were against West Brom)
(and 1 in 4 Chelsea have conceded were against West Brom)
Ronaldo has as many hat-tricks (or better) over the course of his career as Iniesta has goals for Barcelona.
He only really played one CL season. That was 98 99 and even then he wasn't at his best anymore. Everything that came after 99 is Just a shell of his former self. And yes, that includes the 02 World Cup.
What, he wasn't? Damn.I was convinced Dino Baggio was the brother of Roberto Baggio...
And while I've mentioned him here 1,5 years ago, it still confuses me that Oscar isn't even 30 yet.
Peter Schmeichel scored 1 Premier League goal (for Villa) and saved 0 penalties in the Premier League.
Virgil van Dijk - about to turn 30 this year - has never played in the Euros or World Cup so far in his career.
Today he's confirmed he's not going to the Euros this year either as he is concentrating on his recovery.

Ramos has been dropped from the Spain squad meaning for first time in history it's gunna start raining men. And Real won't have a Spanish player at a major tournament.
Apparently England have never won their opening game at the EC

There is no third place play off game on the European Championships and hasn't been one since it was binned for being boring in 1980!
Should do this for the WC as well, pointless boring games
