We lose the ball at half of our throw-ins but we never take it from the opposition when they have theirs.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
To my knowledge 40% of Koreans have either Kim, Lee, or Park as their last names. Funny thing is I thought it was much higher than that.
Sepp Blatter was born FIFA president
Ronaldinho had only 2 magical seasons which felt like 10
Steve Bruce's agent always has a Premier League relegation battling job waiting for him
John Arne Riise has never scored from inside the box
Darren Bent always becomes the highest goalscorer for his new club and gets sold 2 years later
Harry Redknapp was the manager of Southampton and Portsmouth at the same time
United always lose to teams that haven't beaten them in 20+ years
Players always say they are "looking forward to the next game" in their PMI's despite it being the last game of the season
Chelsea always end up losing their 50 point lead over the second placed team

Tottenham have been consistently qualifying for the Europa League for years but no one ever sees them get knocked out they are just magically eliminated
Chelsea's bench is a black hole
The Brazillian National team always seems to be in the process of rebuilding and manages to create superstars in 4 years before every world cup - Neymar didn't exist in 2010 , Maicon didn't exist in 2006.

True.
- Every team in the top half of the league picks up title winning form after Christmas.
- Falcao's never scored a goal that wasn't either a tap in or a sumptuous lob from outside the box.
- Bale couldn't beat Mertesacker to a ball 30 yards away if Mertesacker had a 2 yard head start.

At least half of all strikers form lasts 18 months after which they are never heard from again.
Rooney has only scored 2 goals for United - the overhead kick against City and the Volley against Newcastle but he somehow manages to stay in the team and convinces people he is a few goals away from Bobby Charlton.
Liverpool almost always attack the Kop in the second half of a match at Anfield.
Javier Saviola will be the next Ballon d'or winning.
Aston Villa are one one England's oldest football clubs, former European Cup winners, and have never been relegated from the Premier League, but they've never actually won a football match, have they?
You need to score goals to win matches.
Every pundit on TV played for Liverpool at some point (except Neville)
Biggest small team ever or smallest big team ever
This is hardly a new problem for Villa. Over the last decade their main strikers have been Angel, Vassell, Baros, Carew, Heskey, Bent and Benteke all combined they've probably scored about eleven times.
Teams that play in red are still the most successful and dominant in the English game.
Some place, somewhere, Martin O'Neill is starting to make a point.

98% of Arsenal's goals are scored by midfielders.
Villa's last three creative midfielders were N'Zogbia, Hadji and Ginola.

And Sunderland
Same way we nearly always attack the Stretford End in the second half.
Sunderland seem to sign the worst foreign players - its like their transfer policy is "as long as he has a fancy name"
Rosicky has been at arsenal for 8 years, the whole time been 28 years old and always been the 8th choice midfielder
If I'm watching a match I don't care about and I'm slightly rooting for one team over the other, that team will always win.
West Bromwch has had the same midfield for the last six years.
and a Chris Brunt + black guy strike partnership
And somehow manages to still win man of the match
Gibson has only scored long shots.
Rooney hasnt done a skill move in his whole career.

This one is so true
Tom Ince has moved clubs in every possible transfer window during his career.
The success of surprise teams from Africa at world cups is directly proportional to the number of whacky haircuts in their starting XI.
Yet is still playing for Blackpool.
Harry Redknapp drives to and from work in the 'Trotters Independent Trading Co' van.
Alessandro Matri is owned by every Serie A side simultaneously.
A lower league side can lose to a Premier League giant by any number of goals and still attain a consensus of having played well.
I actually came here to post something like this. Although I'm going to take it a step further and say that every somewhat talented Italian (quite a few foreigners too, to be honest) who's played for one of the big teams in Serie A has played for them all.It seems like there's more transferring of players than any reasonable person would ask for over there.
That's racist or something.
Every Danish player going abroad after the age of 20 will sit on the bench for a few years before returning to Superligaen to play the rest of his career.
Brazil have only ever produced world class attackers and full backs. Every player they've had in other positions have been largely average.
