Anzhi Makhachkala were formed when Samuel Eto'o joined, and ceased to exist when he left.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
Yaya Toure has an awful technique when hammering a shot, yet he always seems to score with it
If every game were an evening kick off, Palace would win the league.
Yaya Toure scores in every televised game.
According to Sky, the English Premiership is the only league in the world capable of producing unpredictable or unusual results. Every other league in the world is extremely predictable.
John Carew left Aston Villa to pursue a career in music, under the pseudonym of Flo Rida.
Many people dont know how Carew looks like, they just know him from fifa 11 where Aston Villa was a super side (Young, Carew, Agbonlahor, Delph).
Every Norwich player signed from or once played for Leeds.
11? Try 09. They were unbelievably good in that game.
Southampton's results this season look like binary numbers.
Everyone still calls the division below the Premier League the "Coca Cola Championship" even though their sponsorship ended half a decade ago.
I call it Division 1. The Carling cup is still the Coca-Cola cup to me
That's another good example actually. It's been the Capital One Cup since 2012. I think in both cases the older name is catchy because of the alliteration.
Ha shit I can't keep up with these
If a keeper comes up for a corner/freekick/throw-in when his side desperately need a goal in the closing seconds, the ball will inevitably fall to him in the box, despite there being at least 8 outfield players to aim at.
All the competitions vary in importance depending on how well Liverpool are doing in it.
Think it's the same for United aswell though tbh, the more sucessful and popular a club is the bigger the interest, or even if theres a narrative to go with it i.e Arsenal ending there trophy drought last year, Bradford reaching a final.
Its a lot less interesting watching City and Chelsea scoop up trophies.
And in other leagues, nobody scores after about 75 minutes. Probably because they don't have 2 up front.
Also, I can't tell if I'm going insane, or if every Prem announcer is completely obsessed with hitting the ball first time.
When I think of play styles of teams in the PL in my head, I imagine the camera angle their match is shown on TV.
Celtic always beat one good team in the Champions League group stage, only to go on and get thrashed by a rubbish one
I always notice Steven Gerrard's forehead wrinkles and it bothers me for some reason

Madrid and Barca don't have scouts, they just sign the PFA Player of the year.
Nobody has finished a knockout game against Barca in the CL with 11 men.
Alcantara, Pedro and Busquets are the same player.
Kurzawa is a japanese player.
How can you forget about Ronaldo's miss vs them when we won the CL?!
I'm a Stoke fan and it was seven years ago, me remembering that is unlikely, lad.
Inter Milan finally changed their home kit this season for the first time in 35 years.
Everyone who plays for AC Milan is more well known for playing somewhere else previously.
Oscar and Diego Costa would make the best 'before and after meth' photo the world has ever seen.

Charlie Adam is an overweight, 50 years old prankster who fooled the world into thinking he's an actual footballer.
Wigan is still in the PL and we beat them at OT somewhere in October.
Newcastle never once changed their home kit design in the last decade.

Sneijder and Robben never played for Real Madrid.
Every season Newcastle are either on the brink of a crisis or on the verge of an exciting successful spell but they will always finish 9th
Whenever I watch a game, I always hope that someone tries to score directly from kick-off.
To be fair, "The Carling Cup" was very catchy, just like the Coca Cola Championship.
Unless you watch Bundesliga fairly regularly, the standard of most German teams are entirely unknown. Are Stuttgart relegation candidates? Will Mainz get Champions' League football? Do Hertha Berlin actually exist?
The Bundesliga is essentially Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund (who are the 2nd best team, no matter where they finish), and 16 other mid-table sides. I can't confirm the existence of Hertha Berlin though.
La Liga is similar. Barca, Madrid, 4 other decent sides, and a 16 way relegation battle. In La Liga currently, Malaga are 7th, and Cordoba are rock bottom, yet both sides are as strong as each other.
so true. I have a better idea of which teams are good, average or bad even in the Portugese league or Russian one than the Bundesliga.We always play Everton in late April.
And Hamburg has been on the brink of relegation for years.
Every time I tune into a Chelsea match, they are drawing and playing shit, but score a jammy goal immediately thereafter.
