Andy Cole scored in pretty much every game back in the 90s but was too English to be considered a great
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
Steven Gerrard was right about Phil Collins.
They did feel like real players. If I remember rightly Espimas was a cultured Spanish creative midfield player, Ximelez was a box-to-box type, Iouga was a midfield enforcer and Castolo was a flamboyant Brazilian striker who wouldn't show up on a wet Tuesday night at the Britannia.
They actually changed the spelling of these at some stage, perhaps poking fun at themselves for often not having the rights to player names of certain teams. e.g sure it used to be Miranda, Espinas, Ximinez, Castello(?), Valery.
Trying to remember the Australian winger - Burchet or something like that?
You could have not watched every single one of Utd's games this season and not really have missed anything.
In school both of our keepers were Polish and I'd take the piss about how the Polish can only play in goal. Funnily enough our first choice keeper was actually our best striker too but sadly his Polish compatriot was absolutely gash.Yea Miranda was the Pirlo look-a-like playmaker, Espinas and Ximinez were the wingers. Valery was a centre half I think and Castello was the star striker. Not sure about Burchet but I remember the rest of them like it was yesterday

, always good to meet a fellow PES(during its glory days) lover, they changed the names alot, Ivarov -Ivanov, Stromer - Stremer, etc i always felt that they were based on past/present footballers - Ivanov was definitely based on AkinfeevBurchet was the worst player on the team but he had the highest rating for speed and acceleration.
Fergie cannot win a Champions league final match in the 1st - 89th minute
Winning with that team was one of the greatest feelings in a football game.

Blackburn Rovers won the premier league...
Blackburn Rovers are actually called Blackburn Rovers.. Seriously.

What is this fantasy?
Ah the days when your keeper was actually your best striker
Yes!!! you actually felt like a real coach
Burchet was the worst player on the team but he had the highest rating for speed and acceleration.
I actually used to feel genuine guilt when signing superior players to replace them.
Jose Mourinho hates football.
It was like selling out, like replacing Barton,Vassell,Ireland,Dunne and co with Kompany,Aguero,Silva,Toure etc
You're not far wrong, I heard he hasn't scored with any of his last 52 free kicks.
British coaches are either relegation fighters/low division level or Legendary there is no in between
Emile Heskey doesn't age
Yeah, but for him 52 free kicks is only 5-7 games.
A lot of clubs just run on autopilot, regardless of who is the manager.
Swansea, Chelsea, City, Southampton, etc.
Then a manager comes along with a big ego and tries to change things, but it all goes wrong so the club sack him and replace him with another manager to run on autopilot

Sam Allardyce has a secret factory producing fairly handy African players that noone has ever previously heard of.

Ah the memories. You forgot the best one, beastly German centre back Vonander. I think he was too good though because they eventually removed him in one of the later editions. Him and Minanda always stayed in my team no matter how much I improved the squad around them. Vonander the commanding captain and Minanda orchestrating the midfield and scoring some long range beauties. 
Every time Spurs wins it's 2-1.

We're famous. And many on there have been shamelessly copied.
I had to share it with another community, this thread is just too hilarious.

Ahh fair enough!
Tim Sherwood is just one big social experiment
Tim Sherwood is every 23 year old who ever graduated University and truly believes he has the entire world figured out far better than anyone ever has before.
LukeMCFC from the newbies: Left footed players never do step overs to get past players they just body faint or cut inside - Robben, Messi etc..

Jack Wilshere didn't come through the Arsenal academy, but was instead bought from some Championship club for about £5 million when he was 17.
You're thinking of Ramsey.
It always felt like Ramsey was english, it's weird to see him playing for Wales.
Diafra Sakho and Valencia being recent examples
Valencia is Ecuadorian, but i am guessing you knew that already
Selling Gavin Harris and Santiago Munez was the reason Real Madrid couldn't compete with Barcelona during their dominant era
Italian players are always in their late 20s
Bale hasn't scored since the CL final.
African players in the premier league travel every January to represent their Countries in the African Nations cup despite the fact that the Nations cup is contested every 2 years
Not just related to football, but the purple in 'purple patch' just doesn't fit the meaning of the term. Is it just me?
Freddie Ljungberg coloured his hair into oblivion
The MLS is just a season long pre-season tournament
