Weird feelings of football

Valencia does a foul throw every single match.

Michu has retired.

Arsenal always concede once they start going under the cosh from around the 75th minute onwards.

Evans will fail to deal with a bouncing long ball 9/10 times.

Only small sized defensive players are capable of dealing with tricky attackers.

Big defenders are typically slow and clumsy.
 
There is no such thing as a good centre back anymore. They all slowly died out over the last 15 years, with the last few spotted as recently as the late 2000's. Occasionally a lesser centre back hits some form for a few hours and fools everyone but is quickly found out.
 
Outside of La Liga's top four or five, every pitch must be a strange shade of green and have circular patches.
 
The worst feeling football throws up is when Liverpool winning is a benefit to United.

This is true though..
 
There are certain players who are just not into us, and will never come here: Modric, Bale and Benzema spring to mind.
 
From the last champions league group match to the round of 16 match, it seems like an eternity has passed.
 
Crystal Palace would get the same crowd and make the same noise no matter what league they were in.

30% of fans in the Nou Camp are neutrals on a day trip.

About 5 people in England regularly watch Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich games live. Those 5 people just happen to be mates or mates of mates of just about every football fan in the country.

Fernando Torres can only perform for teams with inferiority complexes.

Ronaldo could pistol whip the referee 3 games before a Barca v Real Madrid game and still only get a 2 game ban.

Diego Costa knows exactly what his doing, is very eloquent and in control in private and is secretly studying a law degree.

Brendan Rodgers has practiced his goal celebration in the mirror more than 500 times.

Rafael Benitez has a method of meditation employed to show how ice cool he is when his team score. For those few seconds he is technically in hibernation and to wake him could be very dangerous.

Van Gaal becomes a better manager in a bad mood.

Pele has collected all the footage of games he struggled in and locked it in a secure vault.

If Eusebio was a current player he'd be written off as overly reliant upon pace and lacking technique. People would say "once his pace goes in 3 or 4 years time he'll be rubbish; don't want".

Gerd Muller was physically incapable of striking a ball from outside the box into the net without at least 2 bounces.

Holland would be a lot less popular if they won things.

The current England side would beat the 1966 by 2 or 3 goals if they played at their peaks.

If Maradona was Messi's age, he wouldn't pass to him.

Italians make the best defensive midfielders. Spanish the best playmakers. England and Germany have a lot of triers
 
We've not played well in the second half of any game this season.
 
You could take a pair of League One central defenders, place them in a top 4 team and they'd do fine.

Fullbacks are likewise pretty redundant now. Which is why Mourinho plays centre backs there.

True
 
Every time Sky hypes up a Premier League match it ends up being a bore draw.
 
Nobody has ever seen a goal in Series A live on telly. You have to switch it off and leave the room for 25 minutes for a goal.

Even if Crystal Palace won their next 10 games they'd still be in a relegation battle.

People who claim to properly know players from European leagues are essentially liars.

Preston North End reach the play offs every season.

West Ham get undue attention because significant numbers of the press corps are fans.

Paul Gascoigne played really well about 4 times after Italian 90.

That happened today after the United game with Walters for Stoke. I like the way they do that.
 
Many players that Spurs have came into existence out of nowhere, and continue to do so, after they sold Bale. (e.g. Kane, Chiriches, Chadli, Stambouli)
 
Only basic football teams have players who know how to take a proper throw in

Yep, I remember it happening last season with a crazy match between Cardiff and West Brom where both sides scored in injury time and the match ended 3-3.
 
No team in the French league has scored over 1 goal a game.

Darron Gibson was a figment of my imagination.

Jonathan Walters scores over 15 goals every season.

Real Betis get promoted, surprise and reach Europe on their first season, invest in better players and then get immediately relegated. Then perform this three year cycle again and again.
 
There are no goals at the Stretford End anymore.

Man Utd have not had a regular first-choice right-back for 8 years since Gary Neville started having injury problems but are unable to address this as we are forbidden from signing right-backs for the first-team squad.

Manchester City would win every match if Navas had better end product.

In England it is against the law to show highlights of a game involving Manchester United without first showing the goals from the last time we lost to said team.

Can't believe so many people are being drama queens about that. Am sure Arse have had to ensure the same the season after drubbings by Chelsea and City and Spurs too.

I'm sure they have. Just wound me up seeing that cretin Vardy again.
 
Rosicky has never been a regular at Arsenal.

Diaby is still trying to regain his fitness, and has not played a football match since 2009.
