Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
Yes
and has always been in his late 20's...This is a good one
Everyone named Diarra is a holding midfielder.
Brighton (or any team managed by Chris Hughton, for that manner) always seems to be topping the Championship table, yet never gets promoted.
Millwall, the actual team, doesn't really exist; only its fans do.
Daley Blind gets less handsome as the season goes on....
Bald goalkeepers always suck. All the great goalkeepers have great hair.
I feel the same way.
Brad Friedel, Tim Howard, Brad Guz...
Every single league match for Watford is an early kick-off at home.
QPR were drunk when they hired Ian Holloway.
Every French forward is involved in at least one major sex scandal.
West Ham played every game at Upton Park in the dark under the floodlights. Seriously I only remember about 3 games ever that were played under day light there.
Borini always scores against us.
Borini always scores against us.
Borini, Miralles and Giroux.
There existed a sub-category of Brazilian striker in the 2000s which contained players who were very proficient for their clubs, yet would never get a sniff of the Brazilian national team (so much so, that you were lead to questioning whether they were in fact Brazilian.) Think Jardel, Carlos Alberto and Elber.
Italy never wins shootouts, unless they are playing against your team, in which case there is nothing more inevitable than Italy's winning the shootout.
John O'Shea seemlessly transitioned from the 'Luke Shaw' prodigy category to the 'James Milner' reliable veteran category in the space of 6 months, and it all somehow felt so natural, so right.
What ever happened there? He went from nutmegging Figo to being slow and cumbersome overnight.
I know - it's like he aged 10 years (and became that much wiser, in canny veteran kind of way) in 6 months! That being said, I always found it amusing that nutmegging Luis Figo, that noted defensive stalwart, was seen as the ultimate demonstration of the young Irishman's skill.

Gained about 30 pounds too.
Always wondered about that, seemed be a lot slower and less agile as he filled out.
It's just an example of how he was quite decent on the ball when he broke into the team, seemed like he lost all ability over one summer.
Lost all ability, yet somehow became a wily veteran. It's hard to imagine the likes of say Luke Shaw or Memphis Depay doing the same.
There hasn't been a proper drop ball since the 90s, when there was at least 1 every game.
Michael Dawson decided he's not up for playing in the Premier League anymore, so he changed his name to Craig Pawson and now he just referees games.
Gareth Southgate still manages Middlesbrough.
Fixed.
Liverpool haven't dropped points this season other than the Bournemouth game.
Every time we score Jose celebrates for about a second, then catches sight of Rojo and frantically calls him over to give him instructions.
Yes. He also turned 30 in about 2005, and remained 30 until he left in 2011.
The opposition only scores a goal at Anfield when shooting towards the Anfield Road end. They never score when shooting towards The Kop.
Cameron Jerome has only ever scored 1 goal in his career and that was against us at OT last year.
When watching old fashioned football all the players look as if they're middle aged
Pretty sure Mata scored in front of the Kop...
Edit: yep, it was the first of his brace at Anfield in 2015
Completely agree with this. It's like at 20 they all looked 40
harder times..people visibly aged quicker..plus no sunscreen.
