Weird feelings of football

Sevilla stopped existing for a while after they turned the Uefa Cup to the Europa League
 
Frank Lampard Junior is the only example of that generational suffix being used in British-English culture
 
West Ham fans seem to think 3 good performances from one of their English players deserves a call up to the National side.
 
No English team has ever beaten Gakatasaray away from home.


Nobody actually remembers Darren Anderton play a club game. Never happened.
 
The cameras filming the action at White Hart Lane are for some reason always on the roof.
 
Every left-footed player is considered a "technical specialist" or a "dead-ball specialist".

All left footed players that can dribble, cross and shoot have a "wand of a left foot". It's the default description.
 
All central midfielders are either 'tough tackling' hard men or 'technicians'.
 
There are hardly any good RBs in the world at all.
Most Serie A goals in the 90s was scored by a ball over the top and a volley into the net.
Defending has become 10x better than the 90s.
Unsure how players still get fooled by stepovers these days.
Can't actually remember what Patrick Vieira did to be considered so great.
Wonder how refs remember which players they have already booked (and subsequently are more lenient to them for the rest of the game).
 
Every half-decent keeper is "a good shot stopper but his handling needs work" even when his handling is perfectly fine and his shot stopping is crap.
 
Barcelona's league schedule consists of 8 classicos and 30 games against Getafe.
 
Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates his 24th birthday today.
 
98% of South American footballers had to win fights to be allowed to play on inner-city pitches. The others had to be popular with the tough kids.

Every footballer under the age of 25 uses Ronaldo's free kick technique.

Andros Townsend spends 80% of training practicing penalties and 20% practicing everything else.

Stepping over the ball twice has never fooled anyone that wasn't fooled by the first one.

Giroud's second touch is always worse than his first.

Every Italian footballer plays 10 years longer than the average player.
 
Players who raise their arms up when taking a corner kick, as if to give a signal, are wasting their time, as no team as ever scored from such a set piece.
 
Tim Krul and Brad Guzan always play better against your team, no matter who you support.
 
every single comment section of every article relating to football (mostly on Facebook) has a group of people from the middle east either bashing Barcelona by saying "pessi" or bashing Real Madrid by saying "penaldo"
 
Rival clubs always say 'United fans don't live in Manchester' yet Old Trafford - the biggest club stadium in England is never empty
 
There is actually no rivalry between Inter and AC milan, they share everything - players,stadium,referees they even decide to become sh*t at the same time.
 
Juventus got relegated for fixing matches and somehow managed to get back to Serie A,go unbeaten for a full season and dominate the league every season since and no one has grown suspicious of them yet
 
Neil Lennon is currently the Head Coach of Bolton but i still see him standing on the touchline at celtic park
 
Goalkeepers who opt for trousers over shorts are always good for a mistake.

Chris Kirkland always has a golf tournament after every game, so he always remembers to wear his hat
 
Every good goalkeeping performance by a random keeper is analysed as "he's a good shot stopper, but isn't good at crosses".

Even though every goalkeeper is a good shot stopper.
 
Eriksen is a good player, he has to be in order to play for a decent side in the best league in the world, but you've never actually SEEN him do anything worthwhile.
