Just seen this on sky sports "Man United ran 110.2km on Sunday - the second-lowest total of the Premier League weekend, behind Liverpool's 108.4km figure at Bournemouth.".

Irrelevant in my opinion, Iraola knew we couldn't just outrun Bournemouth; I don't believe that was ever part of the plan.

And in doing so confirmed that simply running further than your opposition doesn't mean you will win a game.

Agree with chewy, the players have lost a lot of condition and then gone in to a World Cup. They will be training hard but the condition will take a time to improve. Bournemouth are Iraola's old team, they will be well conditioned.

Could we sign Josh Kerr? He did complain recently on lack of money in athletics, so we could use him just to do laps to get our numbers up, as this is key.

So if we can run further than anyone in the league we are the best team in the league? Ever hear the phrase 'work smarter, not harder'?

Let them run.

Let them eat cake. (One for the French viewers)

Zed, might be difficult and costly to tempt him in his prime but I do believe one Mr. Farah is very much available since retiring a couple of years back, would be great to have another Mo about the place and would require only the smallest tweak to the Salah chant.

I'm in therapy for it, Ed0666! I keep losing my head when I'm there, though!
Hope you're well, mate.
{Ed666's Note - I’m visualizing you in one of those dresses from the 1700’s..cold shower time for me! I’m well
mate I hope you are also

When and why did stats become so important for some folk, especially the running and the possession?
Is it not more important to limit your aimless running and do it with purpose and reason?
Do something constructive when you have the ball, and limit the opposition when they have it? rather than the two CBs passing incessantly to each other to pad out the stats!
21 Sep 2026 18:08:45
That is as worthless statistic as I have ever heard without actual context.
21 Sep 2026 18:15:13
It would've been a stick to beat Slot with last season.

We need to sign lads from the tarahumara tribe - born to run.

Like Bruce Springsteen?
