Weird feelings of football

Stoke City would win the Champions League with ease, as it has been scientifically proven that there is no player in the Universe that can do it on a wet Wednesday night in Stoke - thats their home games sorted, a Rory Delap throw is all they need to secure those vital away goals.
 
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: That's excatly what I used do sell when they hit 30

Lazio and Napoli are the same club
 
As a football city, Sheffield is the north east of South Yorkshire.
 
Robinho was involved in a Paul McCartney-like accident somewhere around 2010 and was replaced by a lookalike with learning difficulties.
 
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.

Hard to argue with, though Casillas is doing his best to prove you wrong. The only keeper at a big club who seems to be worse at shot stopping than all the other stuff is Weidenfeller, and I might just think that because he sort of looks old and fat.
 
The common theme with Wenger and Arsenal is that the first half of the season is always poor, but the second half, they make a strong push for fourth place--qualifying for the CL and this makes Wenger look like genius in the process which causes Arsenal fans to forget their dismal campaign.

Repeat the same process the next season.
 
The current Manchester City didn't exist until 2010. Before 2010, there was a different club with exactly the same name, colours, and crest, who were also our city rivals.

West Ham and Aston Villa are the same club operating in two different cities. Same goes for Wolfsburg & Bremen, Lazio & Napoli, At. Madrid & Ath. Bilbao, and Real Sociedad & Espanyol.

Last season in the Premier League was all staged until Moyes got sacked.

Every other club in Germany has the word "Borussia" as a part of their club name.

Every other club in Spain has red and white as their home colours.
 
All players regress immediately after their 30th birthday. One exception to this rule is Arjen Robben.
 
Drog is a good example.

Didn't Zlatan hit 30 and move to an easier league? If he started to look a better player, it's probably because he is up against a lower standard of footballer.
His record in Internationals and the CL shows different. If anything he was worse in the CL, and has got much more consistent as he has got older.
 
Mourinho's spell at Inter and them winning the treble never happened.
I actually have to remind myself they did the treble. In terms of trebles this century, It certainly wasn't as memorable as Barça and Bayern for me.

For me it's a combination of Mourinho's spell at Madrid being so eventful that it feels longer than it was, and Inter falling into non-entities so quickly.
 
Sterling misses at least one left footed sitter in every match he's played since the United game.
 
If there is no written rule that pitches must be green, then why does one team not try to gain an advantage over its opponents by training on, say, orange pitches and then paint their home ground turf orange?

There is, it's called nature.
 
Hence the need to paint them 2 Man Midfield. Hence the need to paint them.

I think if we were gonna do it then it would have been when LvG first took charge. Everything was orange for a brief spell.
 
United always wins the premier league in odd-numbered years.

Only time we haven't is 1995 and 2005. By contrast, we haven't won it in even numbered years in 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2012 and 2014. Definitely onto something there, although this season will put a blot in the odd numbered years.

Although that makes me notice...it seems to be every decade we don't win the PL in an odd numbered year.
 
Yeah but Tan might look a bit beachy, think Stamford Bridge circa 2003.
You've totally lost me but I find myself in complete agreement.
Seriously, it's no weirder than having a plastic pitch, like Luton and QPR did in the early sixties.
Go check out the Crazy Gang Documentary on the Crazy Gang Documentary thread. A blue pitch is the kind of shit they might have pulled.

'twas but a joke, admittedly a poor one.

What advantage would a different colour pitch give them?
 
Am i the only one who used to think that the managers sat on opposite sides of the pitch?
 
What advantage would a different colour pitch give them?
Oppo teams would not be retinally adjusted. Wouldn't give a huge advantage but like the plaggy pitches it might give lowly teams a five per cent lift. And the image of clubs up and down the country each having their own uniquely coloured playing surface is a quite beautiful one.
