The Caf's Ezza.
Matches are only played at night at Camp Nou.
That's brilliant!Schalke have been fighting relegation battle for the last 10 seasons but have somehow played in the Champions League at least 5 times during the same period.
Every time a rare or unusual incident happens in a football match (either on the pitch, or off)... an eerily similar incident will either have occurred at another match being played at the same time, or occur in the match played straight afterwards, or occur in the match played the very next day! And then those types of incidents will not occur again for a very, very long time! Plenty I can remember...
The penalty red card decisions involving both Luiz (Wolves vs Arsenal) and Bednarek (United vs Southampton) in more recent times.
The day the Birmingham "fan" attacked Grealish... there were two other less severe incidents in other games, an Arsenal fan putting his hand on Smalling as he run past him to celebrate a goal, and a similar incident in a Scottish league match too! All either on the same day/same weekend!
Crowd trouble in the stands with police in the Roma/Man Utd first leg back in 2007... anyone remember that? Before Roma got spanked 7-1 in the second leg... anyway the very next day there were very similar scenes in Tottenham's away UEFA Cup tie in Seville (I remember them showing it live during the game!) Of course the Roma-Man Utd stuff could have been on the Sevilla/Spurs fans' mind and kinda encouraged it in a way...
However I think one of the strangest I remember, was one day in the Premier League where there were three separate incidents (from three different games) involving teammates squaring up to each other... very peculiar... rare to get that at any time (on the pitch) but three on the same day was super weird!
I'm sure those on the Caf have many more of these types of things!
I have a really really hard time accepting that 2006 was 15 years ago.Not sure where to stick this, but Real Madrid have as many surviving first team members from their 06/07 squad as we do from our final season under Fergie.
Sergio Ramos & Marcelo - DDG & Jones. And Jones hasn't kicked a ball for us this season.
For 18 months in the late 00s, the media insisted on calling Man City’s stadium Eastlands, and then never brought it up again.
Seeing when a long range shot has clipped the outside of the post/crossbar in real time is really easy, even though commentators never catch it until the third slow motion replay.

All Burnley players were signed from WBA or are youth team players released from big clubs.Burnley have never had a player from outside Northern Europe
Unless it’s a player known for his scoring ability. He will score a complete shit goal.The longer a player goes without scoring the better the goal will be when they finally score. If the player has not scored for several seasons then the strike will be in contention for goal of the month.
I hate how true this one isYou can tell within the first ten minutes of a Man Utd game what the result will be.
I actually think this is inaccurate atm because we kept going down early earlier in the season and kept coming back as well.You can tell within the first ten minutes of a Man Utd game what the result will be.
Jeff Hendrick is Dutch.
He's not a player who I've ever exactly paid attention to, and thought he was from there. His name sounds like he would be from the Netherlands to me. Turns out he's got 60 Irish caps.
Fans consider their injured players to be 10x the players they are when they're actually playing.
I reckon we'll sign him he fits the bill.When Klopp was at Dortmund the only way he would let his best players leave was if they agreed to return to Dortmund as soon as they were no longer wanted by their new clubs. Lewandowski will eventually return to become Haalands replacement.
That well known Dutch name Jeff?
Jeffrey Bruma, Dutch international defenderWell I don't know what's a Dutch name and what isn't, especially where you have people like Robin Van Persie, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Bryan Roy, Patrick Kluivert etc. Then there's Jeffrey Schlupp! They like stealing names these Dutchies.
The only other out-and-out Jeff footballer I can think of was Kenna who to be fair was Irish too.

We’ve already won several of them since they’ve owned the club. 5 league titles, 1 champions league and 2 more finals.Man Utd will never win a big trophy EPL CHL while the glazers are the owners
I mean haven't you already won both with them as owners?Man Utd will never win a big trophy EPL CHL while the glazers are the owners
