Appearances
It's difficult to be exact, but we think it's only for nine minutes.
voice-verified
No.
voice-verified
True.

At the beginning of the season, Roberto Mancini said, we would win the title back because we'd signed striker Robin Van Persie from Arsenal.
voice-verified
Yes, Van Persie scored 24 goals in all, and it was his hat-trick that clinch United the title.
voice-verified
But you know, United would still be top of the table, even if Van Persie hadn't scored any goals.
voice-verified
Well, yes, but this is more or less.
voice-verified
I have methodology.
voice-verified
I've created an alternative Premier League table, which takes out all the points earned by the goals scored by each club's leading scorer.
voice-verified
For example, if you took away Robin Van Persie's three goals against Aston Villa, the game would have ended up as a 0-0 draw.
voice-verified
and United would have earned one point rather than three, meaning Van Persie's net contribution was two points.
voice-verified
But it's unfair to do it just for Man United, so I've done it for the leading scorer in every Premier League team.
voice-verified
Well, if they both score once, they cancel each other out.
voice-verified
But if we take the game where Liverpool beat Norwich 5-2, Luis Suarez scored a hat-trick.
voice-verified
So if you take his goals out, the game looks like a draw.
voice-verified
But Norwich's leading goalscorer, Grant Holt, scored one goal for his side.
voice-verified
So in effect, Liverpool would have won the game without Suarez's goals.
voice-verified
Well, of course, United are still top of the league, but only by seven points.
voice-verified
Arsenal move up to second position, leaving both Manchester City and Chelsea just one point behind.
voice-verified
Yes.
