Weird feelings of football

Leicester City have still not been able to sign a decent striker since their last decent striker left exactly 30 years ago - Gary Lineker.
 
Polish players used to have normal names, but now, due to an inside joke that got out of hand, none of them are allowed to use vowels.
 
Always flabbergasted when I think Portugal haven't won a World cup. Same with Holland.

Portugal population ~10 million
Dutch population ~16 million

Per capita they're probably the two most impressive football nations on Earth.

....well them and Uruguay (~3.5 million!)
 
Footballers from Spanish speaking countries who are from rich homes never make it
Being poor is the motivation, you've got nothing to lose but the world to gain. I think Neymar is the exception, his family is upper class.
 
Since his time at Bolton, Kevin Davies has had an agreement with all Premier League refs that he will be yellow carded before the game just to get the inevitable out of the way

Mark Noble is in a permanent stage of arrested development; he doesn't age like normal humans, nor does he progress as a player in any way.

A defender will always score against United at Upton Park

Matt Derbyshire is 28 years, but he still somehow plays for the England U-21s

Zabaleta lived in a big house that overlooked the tough neighbourhood Tevez grew up on and went horse-riding in his youth, not that you'd guess watching him play.

Is this going to be like that Seinfeld series 1 joke at the dinner party where he says "I hate anyone who ever had a pony growing up!", only to find out his 80 year old immigrant grandmother owned and adored her own pony back in Poland.

"How was I to know she had a pony? Who figures an immigrant's going to have a pony? Do you know what the odds are on that? I mean in all the pictures I saw of immigrants on boats coming into New York harbor, I never saw one of them sitting on a pony! Why would anybody come here if they had a pony? Who leaves a country packed with ponies to come to a non-pony country? It doesn't make sense!"
 
Half Jermaine Jenas' goals for Spurs were against Arsenal.
Aaron Lennon has never beaten a goalkeeper one on one even in training sessions.
Fabio Cannavaro can jump higher than Peter Crouch.
 
United would have beaten Madrid to 10 had the Babes not met their untimely fate.
 
Benitez pretends to write something in his notebook when his team scores a goal.

Teams who sign players from teams who have just got relegated, end up relegated at the end of that season.
Neil Redfern made a living out of that
 
FA Cup shocks don't happen unless it's a Saturday. Midweek and Sunday ties always result in the better team winning.
 
Interesting footbal matches are always on TV when i am busy (studying working). When i have nothing to do and i have time to watch football there is no football on TV.

Was thinking the same. Maybe not beat Madrid to 10 but we would have a lot more CL trophies.
 
United would have won a lot more trophies in the past decade if Guardiola and Mourinho didn't exist
 
Celtic's only Champions League win since its inception in 1992 was a 2-1 home win against Barcelona.

That's actually true.

Also, it feels like there's always a fan favourite who is left out of the team and this causes massive arguments regardless of whether we win or lose.

Oh, and that young black players (except Brazilians) are always refereed to as "pacey" or "athletic" instead of intelligent or smart.

I get that feeling sometimes, but can't forget that they beat us 1-0 not so long ago.
 
Footballers lose all their ability the moment they turn 30. Strangely enough this phenomenon only began occurring when Football Manager games first became popular.

:lol:

I used to feel like players were supposed to automatically peak at 24/25 because that was usually the case in some of the old FIFA games on PS2 around 08/09.
 
Flair players never have light hair.
 
Rangers are second in the Scottish top flight, a couple of points behind Celtic.
 
David Bentley is a myth and the result of false memories implanted by the government.
 
Smaller teams playing against United's rivals tend to do well in the matches until they realise United fans are happy then they feck it all up cc: QPR,Bolton
