1. In fairness, the own goals weren’t just GIVEN to United. They were OG’s that were a result of United putting the defense in a tough situation. You don’t just “get” OG’s. You force them, to an extent. I would say, though, that probably 4 or 5 would have ended up United goals had the defenders not done it for them.

2. Very much so Andy. Some would have had a united name on them had they not been put in by defenders, but at the end of the day, it’s scary to think that our second highest scorer is Own Goals.

   Personally, see them as ‘freebies’ though. lol

3. Can’t see them as freebies at all personally, bar maybe the inexplicable Diaby one. The rest all came from the result of pressure, great crosses etc – a good 5/6 would have been put in by a United player if the opposition hadn’t done it first, and the others were the result of fearing that happening.

   Not convinced there were three yesterday either – if the Carrick one is an OG then about 10% of Frank Lampard’s goal tally should be chalked off and re-allocated as own goals!

   After seeing the Carrick strike on MOTD last night, I agree ith you, but I’m going to go with official call and that’s an OG.
