    Opta have given us the average match length for each of the 20 Premier League teams this season. You might be interested to discover that the Manchester clubs, on average, have played less injury time than most of the other teams.

    Manchester United have had the joint-least (with Bolton) amount of injury time per game - on average 5mins 24secs across both halves. Manchester City have had an average of 10 seconds more per game. Wigan Athletic have had the most with an average of 6mins 12 secs per match.

    Average game length for each Premier League team this season:
    Wigan Athletic: 96m 12s
    Stoke City: 96m 10s
    Newcastle United: 96m 9s
    Arsenal: 96m 4s
    Chelsea: 95m 58s
    Norwich City: 95m 57s
    Blackburn Rovers: 95m 57s
    Everton: 95m 56s
    Aston Villa: 95m 55s
    Tottenham Hotspur: 95m 52s
    Sunderland: 95m 48s
    West Brom: 95m 47s
    Wolves: 95m 42s
    Queens Park Rangers: 95m 42s
    Fulham: 95m 41s
    Liverpool: 95m 41s
    Swansea City: 95m 39s
    Manchester City: 95m 34s
    Manchester United: 95m 24s
    Bolton Wanderers: 95m 24s

    As you suspect, if goals scored after the 90th minute are excluded then Manchester United would be champions. City have scored eight injury-time goals in the league and have conceded only one and have gained four points after the 90th minute.

    United have scored just four injury time goals this term and have only picked up an additional two points as a result.

    Under this criteria, Tottenham would have finished third and QPR would have been relegated, which shows how important it is to play to the final whistle!

    So we got nearly least amount of penalties throughout the years, had the worst decisions and have least stoppage time. :(:(

    The amount of injury time goals we've scored has dropped off - in fact we actually appear to concede more late on.

    We didn't come back from behind all season.

    Just thought I'd throw that in there.

    Yeah, but ABU's need something to throw in there to make themselves feel better over the fact that we've been the dominant force in English football for most of the last two decades. So they come out with the usual shite about "Fergie time" and how we always get the benefit of dodgy decisions and have none awarded against us etc. Yet if something does go against us and as a United fan you point it out: They ignore how legitimate it might be and accuse you of sour grapes.

    I suppose it's easier for them than admitting that we've had some fucking great sides in the last twenty years.

    the correct quote is:

    Manchester United have not come from behind to win a game they were losing at half time in over 13 months (think it's 14/15 now)

    Stretches a bit further than that mate, West Ham away was the last time we managed it I think.

    Thank god for the 7 minutes against Wednesday then! PS Here is a shout Bruce on a par with Vida and maybe with the goals he scored perhaps shades it but neither as good as Martin Buchan for pure defending!

    Yes the phrase "fergie time" is aload of biased rubbish, always thought that and this proves it, the media are just jealous of us and our massive success over the past 20 years, hopefully the smug look on even non city fans in us losing the EPL in the last minute will be erased when we win back the EPL next season, fergie and co will be really pi**ed at this and tevez's goading.
