Recent games...
Based just on last 6 games, so not chosen specifically to illustrate my point!
Added time with Man Utd losing or drawing (at 90)...
Man City (final whistle = 96 mins 51 seconds)
Everton (final whistle = 95 mins 26 seconds)
Wigan (final whistle = 95 mins 12 seconds)
Man Utd winning (at 90)...
Villa (final whistle = 94 mins 08 seconds)
QPR (final whistle = 93 mins 01 seconds)
Blackburn (final whistle = 93 mins 18 seconds)
Averages:
When winning an average of 209 seconds of injury time.
When losing or drawing an average of 350 seconds injury time played.
(times from official bbc website match reports live text)
Man City 1 Man U 0
Added time 5 mins.
Minutes played 96ish!
It happens all the time, but it's always brushed under the carpet. Why?
People even deny it happens.
But on about 89 mins tonight I was wondering what stoppages I could recall. A couple of subs, no goals, no real injuries to speak of, and then the board went up 5 mins! WTF?
Remember the last game at the Reebok? Swansea was it? There were several stoppages and they were time wasting at every break in play, so many times that the ref told them to hurry up on several occasions and also pointed at his watch several times as though he was stopping the clock or adding it on... and we got 3 mins, played 92 mins 45 seconds.
