Weird feelings of football

There's never been a footballer at the top level called Earl (their first name that is)

Don't post Robbie Earle because that's his surname
 
England could field an 11 a side team with just natural Right Backs and still qualify for the euros.
 
Was that when they started showing football in HD?

Also it was the first season Ronaldo became World class ushering in a new generation of football with Lionel messi
Yeah, I think for those reasons and also especially as a Man Utd fan the big change to our kit after it being quite similar for a few years along with the shift in the focal points of our team really made it feel the start of a new era
 
Liverpool and Arsenal play every year on the third gameweek at Anfield and Arsenal are always easily beaten.
 
Harry Maguire is currently spending two years in a Greek prison and his twin brother has stepped in the replace him.
 
There are no fans in the stadiums and GS are like they were in the 1950s.
 
So a-few of us were having a discussion; I'm going to say it was probably around 2005, and we were talking about who our current favourite player was at United (all United fans talking and there was maybe 4 or 5 of us). I can't for the life of me remember the answers but we would have had Ole, Keaneo, Ruud, an emerging Ronaldo etc.

Then one of the lads - an ex-friend now - turns around and says something along the lines of: Well my overall favourite player in the league isn't at United. Wow, controversial we all thought, who is this mystery player; is it someone like Henry, Lampard, Gerrard etc. Then boom, he hits us with it, it's none other than Joseph fecking Yobo. I mean, what?

Now don't get me wrong, Yobo was a good player and all but seriously wtf! One of the most bizarre conversations ever and still one we laugh about.

Where's the weird feeling?

No wonder he's an ex-friend if his favorite player was Joseph Yobo
 
Man Utd have never won a game when Patrice Evra was the pundit.
 
No one has seen James McClean play because he isn't a real footballer but an Irish leprechaun who only pops up around remembrance week to rile the tabloids.
 
Fulham and West Brom have played each other four times already this season.
 
You can tell within about 2 minutes of a match starting if we’re going to have a shite game

This is extremely true. Additionally, when we get off to a great start but miss easy chances within the first ten minutes you can also tell the game won't end well.
 
I was watching some YouTube videos earlier of old goals.

Shay Given is on the receiving end of most of the best goals scored in the premier league.
 
I’ve noticed this one. Recently he falls down grabbing his head about four times a game.
It’s true - he’s just not cut out for the acting/shithousery game. McTominay is far better in that respect
