All English players are runners.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
I know more about Torino this season than I ever did before.
When your club is managed by a dutch man. You are inevitabley linked with all the half decent players from the Eredivisie and Dutch national team..
Same goes for Italian managers

There is always a striker from bottom half of the PL table that gets red hot for a season, gains interest from big clubs and is never to be heard of again.
Jose's players never gets injured but over the course of the next 2-3 seasons they just fades away one by one.
Ighalo from last season.
Goals scored in the CL aren't exciting as goals on the PL. By excitement, I mean reactions to the goals. Maybe it's due to atmosphere or commentary. But it's just something I've noticed.
If Sergio Ramos scores in a match its always:
1. After the 89th minute
2. The winning or equalising goal. He never scores when Madrid are already ahead

If you laid out all the top strikers that have played for Atletico Madrid end to end, they would go round the world twice.
Thought you were going to say "If you laid out all the top strikers that have played for Atletico Madrid...Costa would take longest to get up."
Dortmund sign at least one player that they previously sold per season.
Sergio Romero has no previous clubs. He just appeared at Carrington one day.
Romelu Lukaku has been 23 for the last four seasons.
Robben have always been bald and 30+
Very goodSuppose it makes sense in a way...as a defender he's more likely to push up-field when his side desperately need a goal.
MSN have a poor day in the La Liga whenever I decide to watch Barca play.
Half time break takes forever when you are doing nothing but watching footy.
Half time break is over in a few mins when you actually do something like make food, clean, shower, etc.

This is very true. I try to squeeze in a 10 minute game of FIFA and barely make it to half time before the real match kicks off again.
Watch them the whole year so they get relegated.
Teddy Sheringham circa 1985

Man has looked the same age forever
To be fair, he probably had a middle aged face when he was a phoetus.
Every YouTube football compilation must be accompanied by a terrible EDM song or shitty remix of a popular song, no football compilation video has ever used a good song ever.
Five minutes of every match is wasted by Tony V deliberating over who to throw the ball to.
DDG's goal kicks have a 100% accuracy rate when Fellaini is on the field but this drops to around 50% when he's not on the field.

AC Milan went bankrupt 4 years ago and no longer exists.
I quite used to like Zidane's video with The Scientist, and I don't even like Coldplay. But it fit well with the video.
If a player is described as versatile it means he's not good enough in the position he's supposed to play.
If that player is a young prospect then it means they'll never be good enough to nail down a position and will become a utility player or go into the lower leagues.

Goalkeepers always ruefully shake their head after taking a goal kick.
When a good chance has been missed and the ball is in play, the next sequence will see the ball pathetically get played out for a goal kick, which enables a chance to see the replay of the shot.

Brighton spend most of every season in the top two of the Championship, only to narrowly miss out on automatic promotion and fall apart in the play-offs.
No team that has 'shut up shop' has ever held on for a victory.
When the teams walk on to the pitch from the dressing room before a football match begins,
(a) the best player/game changer or
(b) a new signing
is always at the end of the line of players to get a handshake

Chelsea against Liverpool during the gerrard slip game won by shutting up shop from 0-90.
Arsenal never play in red and white anymore, only in their yellow kit.
Whenever a bottom half of the table team changes kit manufacturer from one of the big ones (Adidas, Nike, Puma) to one of the smaller, shittier ones (Swansea with Joma this season), they go down.
Hull's squad this season is comprised of players that seemingly get relegated for a different team every season and yet inexplicably end up in the Premier League again for someone else the next year.

Ander Herrera in his opinion has never committed a foul
Darren Fletcher has been 30 years old since around 2009.
Every time Man City concedes a goal, Pep is pictured drinking water from a plastic bottle.
Nobody has scored a diving header since Nicky Butt in the 1996 Charity Shield..
Phillip Lahm, Javier Zanetti and Gianluca Zambrotta are/were all considered to be very versatile players. Interestingly, they were all primarily right-backs.
I was listening to the Second Captains podcast the last day and Rory Smith mentioned that the PL is very good at making sure the cameras pick up the crowd, as opposed to the Italian league where games can seem less full than they actually are. He also said that Wenger has spoken about the importance of microphones being in the right place to pick up the noise of the crowd. Maybe that's the effect you're noticing? Basically that the PL is better at packaging and presenting the crowd atmosphere.
