Manyoo EPL Penalty Stats

1. Wayne Rooney - 19 Pens between 2004 and 2016
2. Ruud Van Nistelrooy - 18 Pens between 2001 and 2016
3. Mark Riley - 12 Penalties in just 23 games between 1997 and 2004
4 .Howard Webb - 10 Penalties in Just 40 appearnces for united between 2001 and 2014.

Between 1997 and 2004 Riley had refereed 23 United games in all competitions. In that time, their record was: W13 D3 L7. he gave 12 penalties for United in that time, but only three against them. And he sent off five of United's opponents

In the 40 Manchester United matches Webb has taken charge of in all competitions, he has awarded them ten spot kicks (or one in every four games) and two to the Red Devils’ opponents (one per twenty matches played, as I’m sure you could figure out).

This means that 16.7% of the penalties that Webb has awarded in his career have gone to United, though they have only appeared in 10.4% of his matches, whilst their opponents account for just 3.33% of his penalties from the same proportion of games.

Know your legends...

If sheer stupidity is not your problem, you would know that the united that dominated England for years was a high attacking team. Those united teams would camp in the opponent half all day and these led to opponent defenders making stupid errors. I wouldn't blame you if you don't know this. For most parts of your clubs triumph, it was usually defend first (PARK THE BUS) no matter who comes, then counter when you manage to get a chance, so you were barely threatening let alone causing opponent mistakes leading to penalties.

Spy360:
See you? Have you not received rumours of refs deciding to pick out on someone in order to favour another? How do you think they are taming Costa? An influential ref can move his colleagues to act otherwise.

I am done with this lame discussion, before I start to lie to buttress my point.

This my friends is how you rate the stupidity level of assnal fans.... don't use any IQ meter. Just guage any discussion or contribution they make with this.

Now it's not only that Howard Webb is influencing matches in the EPL but he can also call up colleagues in other countries to do same in the Champions League.

I have seen trolls come and go on this thread.. I have read stuffs that came from people who awarding them an IQ score in the negatives is being merciful but this... this is the cherry on top, the crowning glory of all your trolling endeavors. Congratulations my friend, you are now the undisputed champion!!!

ChristineC:
you have not told us how Howard Webb or FA helped Sir Alex beat EPL counterparts home-away-neutral in European match ups.

he will run away as usual or deflect the topic and start acting like a h0rny donkey that he is

chidexxy007:
Abeg go sleep. How can a team defend yet d opposition will use counter to finish dem.
wetin u drink ds nyt abi spy nd dat cocaine boy don deposit some portions give u as their london brother?

e don they wey i see rubbish like that.. . he reminds me of Micheal Owen punditry. If the loosing team don't score more they will loose

chrisley024:
The worst is their attack. Though you shouldn't expect much from an attack flanked by Walcott and Lingard, and spearheaded by MJ Sturridge.

Hart is the reason they're not 1-2 nil behind.

It only pains me that the Rooney ass lickers will be out in full force if they continue like this and Rooney comes in to score

imagine if the English Premier league had only English players ...

First of all Lingard annoys me so so much and he has always annoyed me right from the day wax face drafted the rat to the team... such a poor and terrible player. offers nothing than a goal here and then then dab about. Such an overgrown baby who shouldn't be playing in any top club or country senior team. This England team is rubbish. A true reflection of how bad the Bpl and by extension English football has become. None of these guys is even a world class player. None of them should be in any top European side. Imagine a team captained by freaking Jordan Henderson the headless chicken... I would demote myself if iwas in that team. I had to burn data to see how deyll play without Rooney and they are just as awful as people predicted. I don't feel sorry for Rooney. He and his team mates are a bunch of unfixable crap

elampiro:
You no understand football politics. Rooney has a lingering back problem. If the seriousness is announced, United fans would say he should be out until full recovery. So they have to manage the information while managing his game time.

It was the same thing last season when he was going and coming in games. Play two games, then a sudden announcement he is injured, then return after missing one game. Then finally we were told that he would be out for 3 months. That was finally to get him ready for Euro 2016.

Try reason na.

That feeling when children are making fun of old people and the old people know that senility is making them do awkward things but they can't control themselves

MrTA:
Dropped for club and dropped for country.

captain fantastic

GBR1:
Elampiro I respect you a lot but you're sinking to ridiculously low levels with utter tripe like this.


If a footballer has an injury so serious that it negatively impacts his levels of performances, then the player would be allowed to rest and recover while being treated. Rooney is no exception to this and even in the past false injury excuses have been made up to take him out of the firing line due to his bad form at times and I really doubt they'd keeping playing him if he has a really serious injury that negatively impacts his performances. Rooney himself currently wouldn't allow it because he knows it's asking for trouble.

The reality is that Rooney is just that bad and his current form is his usual or average form for the past 2 years or more but just that recently he's getting more exposed than usual. You've to come to terms with reality.
Now I'm even starting to pity him. I just want him to out of my club ASAP and I hope he gets the record. No bad feelings for him, you see?

Now I hope you start being objective regards Rooney. I know you can do this and spare yourself more ridicule; you are a decent poster after all.

Thanks man. I think what most people on this thread never do is accept when what they thought was right is actually wrong. I respect people with firm beliefs not swayed by popular opinion, but when it's this obvious, then it's much respectful to throw in the towel. Egbon elampiro mia mia rooney fo ne...He used to go missing for some games or half of a season then come back in the past, but it's over now. Like someone said, he should be coming in when we get penalties, break the record and quietly relocate to China or US.

elampiro:
His back injury probably got worse. May be he should be allowed to rest for a long time to get it heal properly.

Hahaha you are so funny...you must be jerking to Rooneys picture at night. Na be only back ache, make dem give am walking stick. Old age came to early.


Here's Gareth Southgate

'The biggest decision of my career? Making some really close friends redundant — that's probably as big as you can get,' said Southgate, referring to his spell as Middlesbrough boss.

'I've got to make decisions which are right for the team. Whenever you select a team with England, you're going to leave some guys on the bench who are playing every week in the Premier League for their clubs.

'You have to be prepared to do that, that's part and parcel of the job.'

As captain, Rooney will still take part in the pre-match press conference despite not starting the game.

Please show me where he dropped Rooney because he has a back ache.

Na him wife come dey fight for am now. Its never been this bad. Rooney is finished this time

Coleen Rooney launched a passionate defence of her husband, England and Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney, on Twitter after hearing criticism of him on the radio on Monday.

The form of England's record goalscorer has fallen under intense scrutiny in recent months, with his performances floundering while both his club and country have struggled for results on the pitch.

Coleen took to Twitter to vent her dismay after hearing fans explain on the radio why they had booed him at Wembley on Saturday during England's 2-0 victory over Malta. She said she listened to the criticism while she was in the car with the couple's son, Kai.

And it finally happens... Southgate drops Rooney for Slovenia match. It is over for elampiros boyfriend. He's now just a bench warmer. ticket to China please

Snapchat:
a ten year old boy directed and release a short film recently, op i'm challenging you to do better.


in other words, too many frustated people in nigeria.

Can you play football?
Can you be a singer?
Can you be a politician?
Can you be an actor?

If you cannot be any or all of them... why do you criticized them?

That someone is not something doesn't make them see that the people who do things can do it better. That is why these people i mentioned up there have advisers and critics who push them on. Not everything is about people hating on people because this is just how Nigerians normally reason

Joavid:
me too. that okon guy looks like a xtupid fool to me. not funny at all.

Nigerians have a very poor or should i say weird taste in comedy. You'll sit with them and watch an American comedy with funny innuendoes and real foolishness that will make u almost laugh your guts out and it is one Okon who acts like a deranged epileptic patient thats funny to them. I think we have too much people with virtually non-existent IQ in this country so movie producers make dumb stuffs for them.

Freshman54:
At never forced any body to watch the movie. stop criticizing...if you don't like it, go and produce your own........

nawa onto Nigerians... Every movie... I repeat every movie ever made MUST BE CRITICIZED. Did u just arrive from the village. Visit imdb.com the Hollywood industry movie rating website and check if there's one single movie from the millions there that was not criticized. Some movie makers go on to do sequels or in lay man's English - Part 2, 3 and so on based on criticism. Movie makers base all their movie on criticism and i am sure that's what propelled AY to do this movie after the first. If an AY movie receives a %10 negative to 90% positive criticism then it is a good film... otherwise then the critics are telling him to go work harder. Is that too difficult to understand. Not everything is about man hate man. Nigerians sha

This is why England managers are a joke. This is Gareth Southgate(the yes man) on Rooney playing in the Malta game

'But those guys are the guys who desperately wanted to play for England again and again and again and put their necks on the block — and Wayne falls into that category.

'I presented him with a cap in the week, being the record cap holder for his country (for outfield players) . He ploughs on and plays with pride.

SIRcumalot:
Jose won his last title without high pressing,
Raneri won the title without high pressing,
Except the trend of football changes every year I don't see why we have to play in a manner that doesn't favour our current starting 11.
Pressing na the new fad now,like it is something football hasn't seen before.

baba make we leave am.. Whoscored, opta, squawka dem still dey. I nor dey like drag matter like our canopy analyst dem here.. however you are wrong though, no one spoke of high pressing but runners transitioning from defense to attack quick and Leicester city was up there except we watched two different things

Let no Elampiro come and tell me Rooney is the best thing since sliced bread. Finished and should retire with dignity before the people who use to love him make his life a living hell

SIRcumalot:
Am not worried,
The season is still young and we've the slowest striker in the league whose game isn't build around speed but go still gives us goals see the 2nd team from the bottom na Crystal palace(benteke)you can't run with this guy's no be their style be that.
Running is important but knowing when to run and when to conserve energy is even better.
I still expect us to rise alittle but if we no dey top 10 am not worried.

You should be worried bro... The teams that make it to the top four or win the league are teams that know how to run. The ones that are mid table or relegated are usually the ones that lob most of the time. If you watch our games this season you'll see that has become a prominent feature.. . mostly when fellaini was still being used. I do hope with Herrera and Mata coming in there'll be more passing and with it running but lobbing balls because we have some tall men upfront won't win us the league. That one is a fact. The tall man better stay up front n poach so the runners can run because his sluggishness sometimes infuriates me.

Leyqute:
Not playing in Europe = not playing club football.

Knowing Rooney to be all about the money... I am sure he wouldn't care

classicB:
Sorry but you are not making any iota of sense to me.
For you to call my threads 'stupid' shows the kind of person you are. You should have known that was a typographical error. Next time calm your nerves before reading. What I meant is that even if the futa guy is not guilty, it still doesn't change the fact that the original poster rapes his female visitors. Understood? Recession Don affect your head

look bush... I know you blogger lots... y'all the same

elrony:
I no know o

Probably distance covered on the pitch I guess.

nawa beside una oo... obviously that's distance on the pitch naw abi dem don dey measure distance to stadium too... lemme ask Elampawa

SIRcumalot:
Distance cover make more sense.
Thanks.



@joeace2020

No be by running up and down.
Playing ibra for front must affect that number somehow.

My brother... today's football is by running up and down. Leicester did it by running up and down last season. Those who win it in Spain, Germany doing it by running up and down. I be man u fan but this is worrying. Haba no fergies team would have been the least running in the league

SIRcumalot:
Is this suppose to represent the distance we've to travel to games This season?

we are the slowest. A reflection of Mourinho's park the bus philosophy

While i hope for better days.... this worries me

What is goddamned about my thread? It is the truth, at least in relation to the kind of method he uses for his victims. Wether is facebook account was hacked or not it doesn't change the fact that he rapes his female visitors

Why are you like this? You are evil! Just for small adsense change ull force a lie on us. Dude has clarified issues, submitted himself to the authorities but u still come up with a statement with your terrible English of 'wether* is* Facebook account was hacked or not, it doesn't change the fact that he rapes his female visitors'

* for all your terrible English.

Reading the guys Facebook posts and yours, i can tell who's more intelligent enough to go about bragging about raping women, your type fits that personality. brash and unintelligent. Meanwhile in your desperation to generate about a buzz to your stupid threads, you accused somebody whether guilty or innocent.

lol... Virgin. Say something i don't know

how many times will we see this... another thread for non hustlers to beat chest and curse poverty........ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

But what i don't understand is why women love these kinds of guys... they give off a terribly bad vibe but bad is cool and they go in till they start vomiting money in one room in some unknown building somewhere. Good thing there are still good girls repelled by people like these

philfearon:
One deluded fella will surely come hear and scream God.

Yeligray:
Simple they can't explain becuz d z sumtin bigger than them and that is "GOD".

This is why religion sucks.. It blocks people's hunt for knowledge or just makes them believe anything that people don't understand is God. The dude just fall for one Dullard post and he don dey shout 'God'.... they are so predictable and you predicted correctly
