They also have the honour of having scored a goal against a United side who had not conceded in 1337 minutes of action since 8 November, 2008 when United side were beaten by Arsenal.

No, had man utd not conceded for 1338 minutes then that's what the BBC would have written.

Coincidence with what?

Sigh - I had the choice of posting it here or on a poker forum - I thought here would recognise the most

But, \o/ I guess it's fail.

didnt 1337 stop being cool about 5 years ago?

Also i nthe live match text they made a point jokingly about 1337 minutes which is why the later report also made a point of the 1337 minutes thing. yes it is because most people who update BBC content are 1337 nerdz, it was intended.

"Blackburn also have the honour of becoming the first side to score against United since 8 November, 2008 when Sir Alex Ferguson's side were beaten by Arsenal"

Thats what the BBC website says for me. No mention of 1337?
