You are bang out of order accusing them of anything.

The slip. To this day I still can't believe it.
He gave a passionate, roaring speech saying "This does not slip" and then in the next match he slipped himself.
I don't think a more perfect example of footballing humor will ever occur in my life.

I think Leicester winning the league has to be up there at least in my lifetime. It's not like they did it in a farmer's league. They won the most competitive league in the world after 38 games.
It's unprecedented and I don't think any team with the wages they pay will win the PL anytime soon.

Yeah, fair enough. I did forget about that. It’s not entirely the same but still. Although as another poster said, this is more about moments, while the other is for stuff like the fact that Giroud is France’s top scorer.
Hand of God.
Posted this in the facts thread yesterday.
It's so fecking ridiculous that the rules allowed this to happen.
Paul Jewell having sex.
You could be lying, but who's going to fact check that?
I doubt anyone wants "Paul Jewell sex tape" in their browsing history.
There’s only 1 answer here for me…
John Terry getting a guard of honour on 26 minutes in his final game. Easily the most narcissistic, cringey thing I’ve ever witnessed in 30+ years of watching this game.

That Barnsley game was special
Milan were pegged back by Depor the previous season.
We lost by a total of nine goals to the feckers the season before.
AC knocking Inter out of the CL on away goals in 2003 despite both teams playing in the same stadium.
Makes sense. UEFA designated either side as a home team.
Roman Abramovich's billionaire plaything smashing their way past Napoli and Benfica before lucking past serious teams is hardly anything.
Some curious entries on these pages. I'd go for the 7-1 semi-final, Gil Scott-Heron's da playing for Celtic and Leicester winning the league.
Evacuation of Old Trafford leading to postponing a PL game because the security company left a fake bomb after a training exercise.
Bale starting as a left back and then exploding into a 80 million pound world class wide forward was crazy.
Juan Mata has a red card to his name for United.... whilst the lunatic that was Marcos Rojo doesnt.
Nah it didn't.
The first thing that came to mind was Graeme Souness picking 'George Weah's cousin' Ali Dia when he was Southampton manager.
A completely random non league player with very limited football ability playing in the Premier League is comical and the sort of thing I can't ever imagine happening again!

What game was that?
A game @ West Brom.
The goal was perfectly fine to me, Nani stopped, wanting a foul, not given. Nani Handled it but Gomez picked up, ref played on. Gomez put it on the floor and Nani scored. He didn't put the ball down in the area Nani had even handled it.
Including interims, Lindelof is now onto his 6th different Utd manager.
Is there a difference between this thread and the megathread titled Facts about football that shouldn't be true - but are ?
This is more specifically about certain events in football rather than statistics, which the other thread can contain.
That beach ball.
Ali Dia was a Premier League striker.
Orchestrating the big huddle for the cameras to produce that little speech
Then pushing the cameras away after Palace. Couldn't have been scripted better.
You can't pick the ball up and then score seconds later. It was just hilariously farcical.
Every single time Sourness spoke afterwards should have been met with a "you played a chancer in the Premier league".
How on earth did he and the coaches not realise he was levels below?
Unless their training was dinosaur fitness stuff with little focus on the actual ball.
The Charlton Gk staying in the field all alone for 20 minutes but the game had stopped due to fog.
Carragher not getting a red card while everybody could see how deep the injury was.
Bayern 8-2 Barca
Germany 7-1 Brazil

- When Ac Milan in 2006 confirmed they have signed Zlatan on their own website pre signatures, and he joined their main rival less than 48 hours later.
- United in around 2003 being heavily linked in paper media,online and teletext to a player who did not exist. Whoever spread that rumor laughed a lot that week I guess. If anyone knows more about this please tell me.

Who was that?
That reminds me of in like 2017 or something when Sky reported that a Turkish player called Yerdas Selzavon had joined Aberdeen. The name is a popular Scottish meme (“yer da sells Avon”), which is basically a way of saying that someone’s father is effeminate (Avon is a cosmetics company that has, or at least used to have, door to door salespeople selling its products or brochures).
Remember when Middlesbrough scored a goal against us that was the most blatant handball ever but the ref thought VAR would sort it when it couldn’t and we just had to play on.
Yup. I’m still pissed off about that. Disgraceful decision.
Didn't someone on here start a rumour about us signing Kaka that got picked up by national media?
I have no idea about that because I didn’t even start following football until 2010 (I’m a bit of a late bloomer), but that’s hilarious if true. Kaká at Milan was a great player, it’s a shame that he became anonymous and basically fell off the face of the earth after he joined Real Madrid.
Carlo managed Everton.
