This. Specially if we are playing at Old Trafford. That's a worse jinx than my Match Day Dinner jinx.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
United haven't won more than 2 games in a row in about 3 years.
It's more of a fact really, so annoying!
Whenever I put an accumulator on the early kick off on a Saturday or the Friday night game usually messes it all up even though it's usually a reliable match to predict.
- Birmingham City were liquidated in about 2008
- Aleksandr Hleb was killed in a freak, hushed-up accident just after joining Barcelona.
- Real Madrid's goal nets are bigger than everyone else's for no reason at all.

Diego Costa is always out injured but he plays every game.
Chelsea never won the Champions League in 2012.
The main way the FA decide if someone is qualified to be a referee is by assessing whether they look enough like the sort of prat who'd be a referee
The 2010 final never happened
Juventus never concede
You're not wrong. Buffon is four minutes away from breaking the all time Serie A clean sheet record of 926 minutes without conceding.
Mark Noble has been West Ham's only English player since 2006.
Mourinho at Inter in general kind of feels weird. I think 2010 was the first Saturday final though, which makes me remember it.
2013 kind of passes me by though since it was the first final I hadn't seen since 2003.
We never benefit from the away goal rule
Andy Cole scored in the 89th min vs Tottenham in 1999
Don't think we actually ever have.
I know exactly what you mean. That year was filled with crazy comebacks and dramatic games that merely coming back from 1 down to win the title seems "too normal".Top shout. Also that the Giggs goal was in the 120th minute v Arsenal.
- German football feels like it is to the left of English football. I have no idea how to explain that...but when I think of a German league, I think of Germany as being in a different physical position to actual Germany for some reason.
- A player having a great season makes them incredibly likely to disappoint the following year. See Hazard this season.
- Manuel Pellegrini is a cold bottle of beer in a sunny country.
- Pre-season games and transfer windows are more fun when you're on a summer holiday. They're incredibly boring and tedious at home.
- Games from 2006/2007 and surrounding years felt incredibly modern at the time, but the games look ancient now in comparison.
- Cristiano Ronaldo never ages. He just becomes more physically large.
- Borussia Dortmund did not exist between winning their last league title/CL, and Klopp taking over.

Portsmouth pitch is on a slant
Barcelonas pitch is twice the size of anfields
Teams who are used to playing at home in a small compact pitch (fulham) always struggle at the bigger pitches
The fact that internet and social media are around now you know alot more about players strengths and weaknesses. Whereas on the 90s you could only really see the big foreign players at world cups or on football italia leading us to believe there are far less quality players now.
Ac Milan lose to crap Italian teams like Carpi and Sussuolo every week
Wigan have only just been relegated
We always play terrible on BT but good on Sky
We always play our worst at 12:45 kick offs but our best at 4:00 on a sunday and our absolute worst in unsuspected mid week league matches that are not televised
Arsene Wenger will never retire
Bournemouth have a team of regens

When I read the thread-title I thought the author might have an unhealthy sexual attraction to football as a whole. Guess I was wrong. What a bummer.
Sheffield Wednesday have 6 sister clubs named after the other days of the week.
Not joking it was only last year I found out it was the 48th min, I was shocked
I watched the match as well (8 at the time)
Whenever you make a special effort to watch a player who is incredibly hyped up, they invariably have no impact on the game.
I use to think that, then I said it about Zlatan before a Champions League game where he scored two worldies.
Whenever Barca are behind in a CL home leg an opposing player will get himself sent off
Far too specific that.
They don't have to be losing, or at home. Any leg, any stage, there's about 85% chance they'll get to play against 10 men.
FFP was a thing then the big clubs decided it wasn't
I honestly think that that's mainly because they control the ball for so long that they frustrate the hell out of their opponents who inevitably end up making mistakes. Today's red card was a clear one. Terry's was another obvious one. Pepe's the same. The only one I can think of that was harsh was Van Persie's for Arsenal. It's a bit like us with penalties at OT when it was simply the fact that we spent so much time in the box that we were inevitably going to get more penalties than others.
they did relegate last season... to league one.
Players had thighs twice as big in the 90s as they do now.
Doping sure has changed
Sevilla have been in the semi final of every UEFA cup and Europa League.
Romelu Lukaku and Divock Origi have never ever struck a football with their laces, always side foot.
Jordan Rhodes scores 20 goals each season to help a Championship side get promoted, then leaves to another Championship team and repeats the process.
Roberto Martinez has never been disappointed by one of his sides performances.
Every other Premier League team has good South American players except United.
Liverpool ALWAYS win the coin toss at Anfield so they can play in front of the Kop in second half.
