It’s a weird one because the same logic definitely doesn’t apply to Anthony Taylor reffing United games. It can’t be coincidence that there is such a big disparity between Liverpool/Everton and other teams.
Facts about football that shouldn't be true - but are
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
seriously? well, it's his time to shine.Ainsley Maitland-Niles has more goals in English competitions at Anfield this season than Roberto Firmino.
Everton haven’t beaten Liverpool in 10 years and haven’t beaten them at Anfield this century.
Reina played for Barca before Mason Greenwood was born and has had a career that has spanned conceding from to Gary McAllister to Mason Greenwood.
Look at Buffon though. Maradonna was still playing when he started. Even Ronald Koeman.
Mourinho team have the record for most goals ever in a top league, RM 11/12 season.
When you watch how dull his Spurs side is, or how dull United was under him, its difficult to grasp.

In regards to United and the top 4 race:
Since 1954, Germany have never gone more than three tournaments without appearing in the world cup final (1954, 1966, 1974, 1982, 1986, 1990, 2002, 2014).
Xavi played against Man Utd's treble team in 1998/99. He was 18 at the time.
Phil Neville never made a World Cup squad.
Euro 2004 was Frank Lampards only Euro tournament for England.

A 19 year old Pirlo also played against us the same season.
Xavi has more goals and assists than Iniesta.
Harry Redknapp once put on a fan who was abusing Lee Chapman, in a friendly for West Ham and he scored.
Philip Lahm never got sent off his career.

Said this before in a similar thread, but it's worth posting again...
Chelsea have won 33 trophies in their entire history .... Ryan Giggs has won 34

Two others worthy of a mention
Dundee United have played Barcelona 4 times and beaten the very time

Sean Dyche is the longest serving manager at his current club in the PL, Jurgen Klopp is the second. Klopp has currently managed the longest spell in the PL itself.
Dyche to Liverpool it is then when they get relegated this year. Klopp to Barca.
Had to double check when I heard this on the radio this morning but it's true....Bale scored more league goals for Real Madrid than Hazard last season.
Christian Benteke is now third on Palace's all time Premier League scoring list, despite only scoring 7 in his last 82 games...
That is grim
.Jesus
Gordon Strachan, born 1957, was the only player born befoe 1960 to score a Premier League hat trick.
I had to read that a couple of times. Incredible to think the PL is not far off 30 years old.
To add to that strange stat about Benteke, Luka Milivojević is in 2nd place, and 89% of his goals are from set pieces, 78% of which being penalties.
Yep. Strachan made his debut for Dundee in 74.
Ronaldo N. never won the UCL, nor played a final.
Lukaku is ours despite only spending 4 seasons with us.
Jose Mourinho has lost one of 18 premier league matches v Arsenal.
Maradona was 20 years younger than Pele.
Maradona was 25 years older than Ronaldo.
When people talk about comparing eras, they’ll happily compare Diego to Pele. But Maradona to Ronaldo is kind of off limits.
I kind of agree with that as a principle. But it’s still weird to think about it in those terms.

Maldini played against prime Maradona and a Prime Ronaldo.
This wasn't particularly surprising when it was in a period where Barcelona had one of the all time best club sides
Montpellier HSC legend Michel der Zakarian ruptured his ACL in the 16th minute of a 1990-91 Cup Winners Cup game against MUFC at Old Trafford.
He played the rest of the match before being operated the next day.

I think 02/03 was the only time he even played a semi final.
Dnipro who lost to Sevilla in the Europa league final in 2015, don’t exist anymore.
The phoenix club is now Dnipro-1
It seems that they went through some financial mismanagement and couldn't pay off debts.
