Mario Balotelli has been 26 for the last three years.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
or conceded a corner or a throw in.I think Frank Lampard scored a diving header a decade ago, since then nobody has scored a diving header in professional football. Why have diving header gone out of fashion?
I honestly believe that to be a strategy he consciously developed (maybe with the aid of a psychologist) to cope with the frustration of conceding. Loads of goalies do it too.
Perfect
Any manager of a 'smaller' club that takes them to a cup final, gets sacked the season after
Pardew, Pulis, Hughes and Bruce keep managing the same four or five clubs in a merry-go-round.
and Allardyce
Subs sat on the bench behind a manager are the least animated people in the entire stadium. Literally dot-eyed blankness.
Any player with two surnames separated by a '-' start off promising but never realize their potential.
West Brom is always playing Stoke City, and Burnley is always playing a top 4 side.
Stephane Sessegnon has always and simultaneously been at both WBA and Sunderland his entire career.
Roughly half of all African players have the surname Traore or the surname Dembele.

The other half are some variation on Sakho.
You can't talk about attacking/passing football without using the word 'fluid' anymore.
Definitely. "Don't show them you're rattled; nice, slow sip of nice, cool water....calm, tranquil".
That sort of thing.
Just like half of english players are called Jones or Williams and every Scotish player is named Fletcher or Mc<insert name> and all the Irish are called O'<something>
Welsh*
Saido Berahino hasn't played any football for two years, and now exists solely to be the subject of transfer gossip.
Davies*
United's back four is constantly made up of players that are playing really well despite being out for a long period and on the brink of being sold.
All players with a surname that starts with U are shit and boring.
Can't even think of oneUjfalusi, Upson, Unsworth, Utaka, Uche, Uchida, Ulloa...
None of them are interesting in any way.

Umtiti has an interesting name I guess.
Had to go on Fifa and search
Brad Friedel never conceeded a goal at Old Trafford
2009/10 season we played every match at night in those horrible V strips
Michael Carrick has not hit a shot clean since his goal against Roma
12 o clock kick offs should be done away with as the sun is always at the point where the shadow of the stadium covers 80% of the pitch and nothing can be seen, especially at Stanford Bridge and The Brittania
Sean Dyche was picked up off the door of a Weatherspoons in Blackpool and put in charge of Burnley
The camera at Highbury was positioned pitch side to show how much taller Arsenals players were then everybody elses in 1998/1999
80 per cent of Man City attacks are a run to the byline and a low cutback cross e.g Agueros goal at Old Trafford last season

And amazingly, even though he's been out of work for god knows how long, every once in awhile Alan Curbishley is being brought up out of nowhere as a favorite to replace one of the above managers in their respective clubs.
Umtiti has been rather good for us
Replace Butt with Henrik Larsson vs Bulgaria at Euro 2004 and I agree.
Antonio Cassano has played for every big team in Italy.
Egyptian players are mercurial talents with bad attitudes.
In today's formation/number obsessed football world, there'd be no place for Paul Scholes (ie. 'he's clearly not a 10', 'he isn't box-to-box enough to be a 8'; 'you idiot, he doesn't have the qualities to be a 6'...etc.)
And Diarra's.
This is absolute gold, good man! Laughed aloud at that one!
This is also a great shout!
