Yeah, it's a myth. Just a statistically and evidentially supported myth, openly talked about by retired referees as being true.![]()
You can find "evidence" to support anything you want, provided you ignore every other fact, circumstance and evidence to the contrary surrounding it.
Because statistically, they don't win 8 out 9 nine games and certainly not 21 out of 22. So why are they winning such a percentage when their games are longest and shortest? There shouldn't be such a strong correlation.
The other thing to bear in mind is that when a "small" team is winning against Utd, they're likely to waste time, leading to a longer period of stoppage time...
Contrary to popular belief, both teams can score in Fergie time.
