Three consecutive Premier League victories at Old Trafford, under three different head coaches, using three different goalkeepers who are part of the 33 different players utilised.

The only ever-presents are Lewis Dunk, Joel Veltman and the two sick notes Tariq Lamptey and Danny Welbeck.

Yes, but that's only because United play really badly when we play them.

And prior to this, we were always pretty unlucky against Utd by the narrowest margins e.g. the penalty shootout, And Smith MUST score...even Andy Kennedy and co gave 'em a hell of a game in 93 at Old Trafford when we lost 1 nil - how Schmeichel pulled off that double save from Clive Walker early on I still can't fathom!

Tariq only counts as a half - so 3.5 . Its still on !

United have scored a goal in each of the games making a total of 3.

Actually he only started one of the 3 games, so we have had 3 who started each game, which works better

MJsGhost · 2025-01-22T16:16:26+0000

Were there only 3 people in the home end that actually live in Greater Manchester?

Thunder Bolt · 2025-01-22T16:17:06+0000

Hopefully, next season, we play them on 3rd March.

And don't forget the game at The Amex when VAR gave them a penalty(?) after the final whistle!

That penalty was awarded after an infraction from a corner that should have been given as a goal kick anyway, and took place during a controversial amount of added on time. It’s almost enough to make me a conspiracy theorist.

Iggle Piggle · 2025-01-22T16:28:57+0000

Attended 2 out of those 3 away days. They are 2 of my favourite away days as well. The crowd all turn up with that "We are going to beat Brighton" attitude and act surprised when they don't..

It's a fantastic place to win a football game. Never gets boring beating them.

Spooky man: my bus was 3 minutes late, on which I read this thread! You just can't make this stuff up!

They have been unquestionably jammy. We're still the ONLY team to have lost after the final whistle blew for a draw.

Dunk, Veltman and Welbeck are the only players to start all 3 games.
