Kind of puts to pay how shit Ferguson was at the beginning. He may have been meh but not this meh.

I think it only takes into account PL games, not games in the old First Division. He had six/seven seasons before the PL, didn’t he?

This is a funny graphic, but also bullshit because fergie’s numbers dont start until he was already 5 years into the job, a time by which they had become title contenders.

I watched Amorim’s body language. Doit. He counts nine fingers and whispers false.
Nah. Cake’s lame.

Ferguson was about 47
He lost a lot of matches across his first few years, but even then very rarely at home. I think it took him maybe 3 seasons to reach 5 loses so he’d still be at the bottom of that list, but far closer to the pack than the graphic shows.

At a quick glance, his 5th league loss at home was in March 1989, in his 4th (3rd full). So not 88, but 60ish

It’s lazy stat gathering.
So many of the world population brainwashed enough to believe that before the inception of the Premier League, Champions League and football statistics, football didn’t exist.

On yesterday’s MOTD following the Highlights from the Bournemouth game they had a graphic showing the number of seasons players had hit 20+ goals in the premier league era. Shearer was top but had played a lot more seasons than Mo, who wasn’t that far behind.
Lineker then joked if they only had football in his day…
I think its even odder that the BBC joins in with ignoring the pre- premier league eras of football.

Gary’s final season in England was the last of the old first division. Prior to that he scored 20 league goals 6 times in the top division, despite having spent a couple of good years in the second division and 3 years of his prime in Spain.

Jimmy Greaves - 11 times. That includes 1 40 goals season, and another that doesnt include his 9 goals he scored in half a season for Milan before coming back to England at Christmas and scoring 20 goals in half a season
It really is absurd how much his feats are ignored in the present day conversations
