Weird feelings of football

- Start date
Andrea Barzagli is 28 years old, not 35.
Ghana's formidable midfield 3 of Stephen Appiah, Sulley Muntari and Michael Essien never played together during thier peaks. Last seen together in 2006.
He had a serious knee injury right during his peak at Fenerbache, meaning he was virtually out for almost 2 years. Both parties then tried to sue each other but failed. Then he practically became a journey man struggling for a club at a time when he should've been playing at the highest level. Think he retired at 31.
Appiah's career is a sad case for me.

No team who ever moved their home ground to a former Olympic stadium has ever enjoyed any subsequent success.
Sulley Muntari is always playing for one of the Milan teams (and involved in some kind of falling out and/or controversially disallowed goal.)
Ibra aged about 5 years after he left Barca for Milan (not in terms of his playing level; just his appearance.) He looked a very youthful 27-8, and then suddenly became a very sage-looking man in his early 30's. I'm thinking the hairstyle had something to do with it.
Pre-United Moyes was a pale giner while post-United Moyes is somehow rather tan and his hair is much more...yellow.
Barcelona always seem to play against Celtic.
Same goes for Man Utd and Villarreal, England against San Marino, Spain against Turkey

Real Madrid and Barcelona can be successful domestically and in Europe, irrespective of who is in charge. Manchester United on the other hand need to have the best manager of that era to even mount a title challenge.
It's always sunny at The Emirates.
Games at White Hart Lane always end 4-3.

No matter what happens the Germans will inevitably win, the Scottish will fail to qualify and the French will learn to hate each other.
Bobby Dazzler was a cartoon football hero from the 30's.
Off topic extra: Papa Bouba Diop has such a rhythmical beat that when I remember the name I always find myself playing a mental drumkit. Oh and Agbonlahor should have been a transvestite strumpet with a pigtail wig and a beard in the Asterix series.

England always seem to play Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden in qualifiers and at major tournaments.
Hard to explain what I mean, but draws don't seem to cause the bounce-back effect that losses seem to.
Particularly under Fergie I was more confident going into games when we'd just lost previously, a loss usually signalled a run a of good form afterwards. Draws are just the worst. They stutter the momentum that winning brings, but aren't a big enough disappointment to cause you to buck your ideas up for the next game.

Hopefully it'll change under Mourinho but under van Gaal we usually lost everytime the Caf got excited about a line-up.
When we (Chelsea) go into a match against Liverpool as favorites, we usually end up losing.
Morgan Schneiderlin has never played for us.
This.
I can't picture his playing style or what he looks like in a United shirt and I watched the whole game yesterday.
That is because the talent level of the rest is extremely lower. We are playing against big players constantly.
Were they though? Real Madrid had a pretty rough spell which included like 8 seasons without progressing past the first knockout stage in the CL. And Barca also endured a lot of shit before Pep.
Klopp never shaves his beard.
Pep gets slimmer with each team he manages
Mourinho got shotter since joining united ( I dont know why I always thought he was taller)
Every young striker Mourinho sells becomes a world beater.

Every good proven player LVG has signed has turned to shit. Every fringe youngster LVG has bought/promoted became a hit.
And in Europe though?
More recently though it seems that both are able to transcend managerial changes and just play to the best of their ability, or close to it. With us it seems we're lost unless everything is in place.
You only get cramp when you're winning.
So true, maybe time wasting
Charlie Austin became a fisher man in the South Pacific after his breakout season in 2015, never to be heard from again.
Winning every week becomes a habit.
Not the best time to make that post after his brace last night.
Milan Baros has been a pro player for at least 30 years but is still only 28
Peter Odemwingie went straight to Stoke from West Brom.
Whenever we play against any team, every time a player of theirs is on the ball, he knows exactly where all 10 of his teammates are on the pitch at any given time and how to get the ball to them without even looking at them.
But we don't.
But we don't.
Every European team outside the top 5 leagues wears the same plain black nike away top with no sponsor.
Sergio Aguero is still under 25 years old.
Fellaini is animatronic.
Players improve by 15-25% when they get a cast on their wrist.
Examples over the years;
Matthieu Flamini
Alex Song
William Gallas
Alex Iwobi
And of course, Jamie Vardy.

Every obscure team in world football has a Brazilian playing for them. There are probably sunday league teams in Azerbaijan with a Brazilian striker.
Every time one of our rivals wins a game it's because Patrick van Aanholt either gave away a penalty or got sent off. He does this multiple times, for multiple teams, in a season.

Dean Saunders is morphing into a crown court judge.
Anthony Martial's head looks different this season despite not having had any hair cut off.
Moyes has never left United
Jedinak never left Crystal Palace. He just changed his name to Joe Ledley.
Jonathan Walters is a dog.
