Trivia Question

[Abel Tasman]

The answer to the original question is 2-7.

Does Robbie Stockdale‘s one-match stint as Sunderland‘s sole caretaker manager in 2017 make it 10?

 

[Capybara]

Here's a recent 5-9 if anyone's interested.

The answer to the original question is 2-7.

That's right depending on how you interpret the question. There has been a 7-2 result eg Villa v Liverpool. The Guardian seems to be more concerned with the number of goals, so 10 is their answer - 10 nil in fact as all other combinations of 10 goals has happened.

incredibly only 2-1 at halftime. The home keeper put on a horror show in that second half.

Ok I get that but as that article ( not the Guardian I see) says the answer is 2-7 as the lowest ever unique Prem Score that has never happened. And that was the question in the first post?

I'll go 7-2. Seems a pretty unusual scoreline to me.

Think villa beat Liverpool 7-2 in the COVID years? and didn't man utd beat arsenal 7-2 in the death throws of Ferguson/Wenger

And we beat Chelsea by the same score but that was before football really started.

Commentators/journalists love sensationalism so wiping out over a century of records gives them what they want.

No as it says permanent managers, there's probably a few more if we include caretakers.

That's why i said "that's right". It's two different questions.

 

[Mr_Fridge]

Southgate, Clough, Robson, O'Neil, Mowbray, Souness, Laws, Pearson

There's 8

Paul Ince?

 

[Billy Horner]

Southgate, Clough, Robson, O'Neil, Mowbray, Souness, Laws, Pearson

There's 8

Ince. There's 9.

Don’t think Laws ever managed in the Premier League, so it’s 8 with Ince.

 

[McMordie]

When I posted the question, I took the Guardian's answer to be 10-0. I assume they meant there's been either a home win or an away win by each score, not necessarily both. The Guardian also says that every 10 goal scoreline has occurred except 10-0.

Nice to see Boro's 10-3 get a mention too.

I've always felt that the biggest disappointment of the 1973/74 promotion season was not scoring 10 against Sheffield Wednesday.

Villa v Liverpool couple of years ago??

 

[SmogontheMarsh]

i think it was Pompey vs wigan that registered a 7-4 scoreline, or was it 6-4?

I think man u pumped Arsenal about 7-2.

I cant remember a 6-3.

United v Arsenal was 8-2 I think

 

[McMordie]

United v Arsenal was 8-2 I think

The Southampton v Manchester United grey shirt game was 6-3.

D’oh…. I apparently overlooked the “permanent” bit when trying to extend the list of answers

According to Wikipedia he did.

Apologies. I’d completely forgotten about him managing Burnley for a few months. It is 9 then.
