Sorry if fixtures, but I'm sure we've all seen that stat that only three teams have recorded four consecutive Premier League wins against Man U - us, Liverpool, and Man City.
I don't know when each those sequences of wins happened (apart from ours of course), but it occurred to me that it's possible James Milner was playing for Man U's opponents at least once in each of those sequences. Any statto types on here able to confirm or clarify?

They are these things in the photo below (this is not me!).
Hiked yesterday. 10 hours to do 11 miles although that included a very lengthy lunch stop. I never want to see a rock again.
I'm not sure they're underperforming

If I was a United fan ( thank god I’m not) I’d be starting to question Ten Hag.
Largely bought in players that he’s worked with previously like Martinez, Antony, and Onana and so far, they’ve not delivered.
I find him quite a dour manager and individual, not inspiring at all.
Thing is, the fans just blame the Glaziers and want an oil state to bank roll the return of glory years.
I think Bayern will beat them and then we might start seeing a ramping up of the fans vitriol.

Is everyone now seeing why I was so passionate about not getting kudus. Very very risky signing Dutch league players especially for big bucks. We got very lucky with velty.
Added to which, he appeared to support Greenwood being brought back in to the fold at ManU.
However, you have to say he did a pretty decent job last season - League Cup win, FA Cup final, Champions League qualification. (Although, arguing against that is the fact that Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool pretty much imploded for large parts of the season - so maybe not that good after all!)

Jan Paul van Hecke seems pretty good too.
Directly over the centre of the ball is not the position you are looking for. Directly over the back edge of the line is the only perfect view.
I’ve no idea of the actual dates, but I’d guess that Liverpool’s run was long before Milner - in the period when Liverpool had Torres up front and he seemed to destroy Vidic every single game.

Yeah - I realised my error, but didn't correct it.
You are correct.
True but dirt cheap so little risk.

A different kind of pasty
Liverpool did it between Dec 2000 and Jan 2002
City did it between Apr 2013 and Nov 2014

Verbruggen looks a real talent.
Veltman was cheaper...

Gros continues to astound.
The feint is a thing of sublime beauty.

I'm sure he performed the slowest Gross turn on Saturday, he is so deceptive.
Well it may have passed you by, but we're quite good at turning rough diamonds into word beaters. Equally, don't be surprised if they're not all that when they leave (especially if they go to Chelsea).
What the Albion do very well is not overpay and just move onto other targets. If West Ham or whoever want to pay more for a player we want, and we walk away then that's fine with me.
