This Chart Tells You Which Team Scores The Most ‘Fergie Time’ Goals

The phrase ‘Fergie time’ has become a popular part of football culture over the past decade.

It comes from Sir Alex Ferguson’s famous watch tapping back in Manchester United’s glory days, where seemingly every week there’d be extra minutes added on at the end of games – in which the Red Devils would score.

But, the Daily Mail has done some research, and it turns out United are not even close to the top of the table when it comes to most goals scored in injury time in the Premier League era.

No, it actually turns out that Liverpool are the side that have scored the most injury time winners, with United way down in fifth place – ironically where they finished in real life last season.

Liverpool’s 28 goals is seven clear of second placed Arsenal (also where they finished last season), with Chelsea and Everton making up the top four.

Then come United in fifth with 18, way ahead of Manchester City who have bagged just ten – although one of those was Sergio Aguero’s incredible winner against Queens Park Rangers.

It was the Red Devils who made ‘Fergie time’ a thing though, starting with Steve Bruce’s header against Sheffield Wednesday back in 1993 – when Marcus Rashford (who scored United’s latest winner against Bruce’s former side, Hull, this weekend) wasn’t even born.

And who can forget Michael Owen’s winner for United against Liverpool in 2009? And Federico Macheda’s momentum shifting strike against Aston Villa later that year?

But it turns out they’re nowhere near Liverpool in terms of numbers of late winners, with Stan Collymore’s clincher against Newcastle United in 1996 the most famous of the lot, as the Geordies managed to blow winning the Premier League after leading by 12 points in April.

Here’s the full top ten:

  1. Liverpool – 28
  2. Arsenal – 21
  3. Chelsea – 20
  4. Everton – 19
  5. Manchester United – 18
  6. Newcastle United – 17
  7. Tottenham Hotspur – 17
  8. Aston Villa – 13
  9. Wigan Athletic – 12
  10. Bolton Wanderers – 11

Depth Chart Released

http://i2.wp.com/www.truesportsfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Jace-Amaro.jpg?fit=640%2C524
Amaro has had a strong start to training camp this season.

The New York Jets have released their first “unofficial” depth chart. No real surprises on this depth chart, the QB rotation is Ryan Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg. That will change though once the preseason games reveal who the final three will be. It is highly unlikely that the Jets will use four roster spots on the quarterback position.

For the rest of the offense Kellen Davis is still listed as the starter at tight end. But if the #JetsCamp reports are any indication you can expect Jace Amaro to challenge for that spot. At right tackle Ben Ijalana is the starter but that will change once Breno  Giacomini returns from the PUP list.

The bottom of the wide receiver depth chart still needs to play itself out. Devin Smith is still on the PUP list and the team seems to be making some of the young wideouts earn their jobs before they move them up.

On defense rookie Jordan Jenkins from Georgia has the starting job at OLB. While fellow rookie Darron Lee is backing up Erin Henderson at ILB. With Lee’s speed you can expect to see him on the field in many situations, so we definitely wouldn’t worry about what the depth chart says.

The biggest question on defense remains the # 2 cornerback position. Who will start on the side of the field opposite of Darrelle Revis. Buster Skrine is listed as the # 2 but it is a passing league, so the Jets will have 3 cornerbacks on the field the majority of the time. Marcus Williams started camp as the favorite to win that spot but Dee Milliner is having a strong camp and if he proves that he can stay healthy we might finally see him in a starting role.

Here is the full depth chart, be sure to tell us what you think in our NY Jets message board.
