Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
I have a personal theory that the success of the premier league partly stems from bright colour saturation.
Has there ever been an exciting City/Chelsea match? TV hypes it as two big hitters playing each other but it never feels important and it never delivers.
The only thing that stands out about that match is the John Terry and Wayne Bridge non handshake from 20 years ago.

We just beat Araenal in the FA Cup final a couple of weeks ago.
Was thinking what an exagerration and then realised that it actually is 15 years ago already. Time is relentless
Yep. It’ll be 15 years ago at the end of next month. I had just celebrated my 11th birthday two days prior; fastward to now and I’ll be turning 26 a month from today. Scary.
Didn't they draw 4-4 last season?
really? i think they are usually good games
Jesse Lingard scored more goals in London than he did in Manchester.
Anytime an average team absolutely hammers a big team, they go on to loose their next match against team of equal strength.
Bournemouth win every single game by a handsome amount of goals yet are kept in mid table regardless because they are Bournemouth.
Brentford and Thomas Frank get all the accolades from the media, pundits, opposition fans. They're the team and manager of the season.
Yet they're only 2 points ahead of us.

Not heard this once this season
You got me thinking that whenever one team defeats another in a group stage match, I'm sure it will be a reverse if they meet again in the knockouts.
Plus when a team wins a penalty shootout, they're likely to lose in the next round if that match also goes to penalties.
I think their squad costs a few pennies less than ours
I think Brentford have slightly different expectation than record spending Manchester United
Why?
One day, we'll have to explain to our grandchildren that photos of football didn't always have Stake watermarks on them.
Martinez scores every game for Inter and Argentina.
You cannot convince me that João Félix has ever scored a goal. Clubs might buy him expecting him to do that, naysayers may show video evidence of it happening, but it has simply never happened.
Agreed
Giuly has played for Chelsea
This definitely feels accurate. I remember Fergie getting really mad about this and saying that if smaller clubs played every week the same way that they did against Manchester United, they'd be much higher up in the table!
We all know we've had so many false dawn's since Ferguson. Everyone gets excited by a good away performance and thinks we've turned a corner.
But the problem is always when we go back to Old Trafford and we absolutely go back to being rubbish. Players genuinely forget how to play. This season we've looked decent away under Ruben and rubbish at home .
Solskjaer went unbeaten one whole season away from home. It feels like Old Trafford is cursed for us

It was the opposite in EtH’s first season. We were great at home that season, only losing once (to fecking Brighton) and beating Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, and Chelsea. Meanwhile the only top 10 side away to whom we won that season was Fulham, through a last minute goal by Garnacho.
why
Brighton’s attack and midfield is always composed of a rich variety of South American and African talent whilst their defence is always made up sturdy Dutch/Flemish types whose surnames inevitably start with the letter ‘V’.
Martial isn't even 30 yet.
That’s actually a fact. We signed him in August 2015 when he was still 19. He was one of the most promising teenagers in the world at the time.
Tuchel has been England manager for at least two years yet
has yet to be in charge of a game.

John Stones starts like 5 games a season but has little to no impact on his reputation.
Every training session for every team since the dawn of time involves 5 players in a circle and one in the middle holding a yellow bib trying to stop the others passing between them. No other training methods have ever been used
Peter Crouch never played for Liverpool.
There is no domestic cup in Italy.
Portugal plays Wales ever international cycle.
Slovakia, Czechia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine will always be as good as they are now and won't get worse.

Tel will score his only goal of the season against us.
Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martinez are the same person
Every season two teams will play each other in the league and then a week or so later again in the cup (or vice versa)
Brighton and Chelsea this week for example
Or United and Leicester when RvN was our manager

Literally every season for me in FM
Every fourth goal in the PL this season has been from a big hoof up the pitch by the keeper, that the defence has inexplicably let bounce.
