Yup, I said something similar before the game in the matchday thread.
Weird feelings of football

This has been going on for years now. Just do the opposite of what cafe says and you're golden.
More penalties are missed than ever before.
Verratti? Redondo? Falcao ?
There seems to be a lack of hat tricks in the PL this season
Frédéric Kanouté still plays for Sevilla. In fact he will never stop playing for Sevilla.
It's true. Penalty takers annoy me. Even elite players seem to be crap penalty takers. They all seem to put it at that height where the keeper is begging for it to go, about a foot off the ground and a few feet inside the post. Or you get those stutter run ups where they try to send the goalkeeper the wrong way and roll it the other, and it often results in a tame penalty easily saved.
Less dinks, rolls and stutters. Just twat the shite out of it, low and hard into the side netting, or in to the top corner.
Probably due to the increase of left footed players taking penalties.
Every time since Ferguson retired we've played someone where there's a stat along the lines of 'Haven't lost since', we lose.
If I could take the heartbreak I'd take a look at how many negative records we've broken since he's retired. Must be a crazy number now!
United have one game at home every season where we remember how to score from corners. Then we go back to being shit at them.
Most of the time when Lingard has an average game, one or two posters will say "What about his FA Cup Final goal?"
Glenn Roeder disappeared in 2006 and was never seen again.
Didier Drogba is the only striker to come to the PL from the French league and replicate his form/improve.
Fly Emirates are the Nicholas Anelka of shirt sponsors.

No winger has ever been a successful coach. In fact, I think Mark Hughes is the only managing in the PL that was not a Centre-Back or Central Midfielder.
Didn't watch him play, but I'm quite sure he played mainly in the centre. He surely drifted a lot though.
That's why we didn't give it Giggsy til the end of the season.
Last weekend was the first time we have won while our rivals have dropped points since Fergie left.
The 2018 World Cup will not take place in Russia.
we haven't fielded our strongest 11 since 2011, we always seem to have 2-3 role players to "do a job" against the opposition, instead of trying to play our own game.
Jonjo Shelvey has been in his early 20s for like the last 8 years.
Gold!successful teams who switch shirt sponsor struggle in the season
Brazil play better with white shorts.
*Trump voice* WRONG
They do have this one in white shorts, but my memories of Brazil playing well have always been in blue shorts.
Cüneyt Çakir is the ref for every international match, 60% of Champions league matches and 50% of Europa League matches.
Darren Fletcher spent 3 seasons injured with us with no sign of coming back to football.
Upon signing for West Brom, he hasn't missed a club nor an international game.

So true
This is true. I bet Jonny Evans hasn't missed a game either.
Van Persie is probably playing 60 games a season for Fenerbahce.
And we all know the moment Phil Jones leaves us he'll set all kinds of appearance records.
Cünt Çake
As long as Van Der Sar was in goal you were guaranteed to win the league and barring catacylsmic events you were guaranteed to reach the Champions League final every. Single. Year.
Similarly, van der Sar never had a bad game for us.
I don't think I've ever named a position by a number. It probably helps that I've never played a football manager game I guess?
It's not an FM thing. I don't know why it's started to become popularised, but pundits seem to be using it now. I can't remember doing it pre-LvG. I blame him.
Goalkeepers tend to move clubs a lot less than outfield players.
That's what I thought. Ironically his last one was a bit of mare. Wrong footed on the first one and a tad slow for messi's powerful drive. What an amazing goalkeeper he was. Don't know why he didn't join us in 2001 instead of going to Fulham.
They're also far happier to sit on the bench and never play.
Italy plays Germany every year at least twice.
And both times it's a friendly!
