Weird feelings of football

-United always struggle at Villa Park

That truly is a weird feeling, pretty sure I've heard we have a better record there than at any other away ground in the country, including Cup semi-finals.
 
Villa Park is pretty much a banker for us every time. We love the place more than Old Trafford.
 
Seriously, I'd like to know when was the last time he saved one. Off the top of my head I can only think of the 8-2 against Arsenal in 2011.
He saved one from Leighton Baines. Only keeper to do so in the prem, marring Baines' perfect record from penalties. I'm 95% sure anyway.
 
We always struggle vs Middlesborough and Fulham, don't know if there's any fact to it but seriously I hate facing these teams.
 
I have never met a Barcelona fan who is from Spain, let alone Barcelona.

When Fulham and Bolton were both in the Premier League, they played each other every weekend.

Speaking of Bolton, when Big Sam was manager, every time they played Arsenal they won.
 
Every single Sunderland home game, ever, involves them capitulating and the home fans booing as the opposition score for a third or fourth time. Also Sunderland play at home at 3pm on a Saturday, every single week.
 
What do football managers do all day?

Training is typically done by lunch. Then what?

I follow a few footballers on snapchat. They do typical people things.

Fabregas is always with his daughters whether at school or the park.

Adebayor was once measuring a midget
 
-When City or Arsenal are losing by 2 goals, they always get a goal with about 10 minutes to go just to make the last few minutes more tense

-When one of the top 6 loses the Saturday 12pm kickoff, only two of the other 5 will get 3 points that weekend.

-Spurs are destined to finish below Arsenal. No matter what. Hence they will never win the Premier League.

-Everton try harder when they play United and City than they do against Liverpool, due to a deeply ingrained inferiority complex they have with their neighbours.

-Whenever United are losing at home, the TV directors always make sure show our anxious/dissapointed/bored/pissed off fans and the jubilant fans in the away end. Other teams don't receive this treatment.

-A good goal will never look as special as it did when you saw it live.

-If a footballer is world class, his sons are guranteed to be just below world class, at absolute best.

-Harry Kane is the best limited striker that ever played the game. His only skill is putting the ball in the net. There is absolutely nothing else to his game.

-Whenever we concede a header, a part of me expects the ref to disallow the goal for an offside or foul.

-If a team wins the Premier League without having fended off a challenge from United, it cheapens the achievement. (In my head anyways)
 
Every time Phil Neville talks it sounds like he's struggling with a massive constipation.
 
When people submit long lists of examples to this thread, no one reads them.
 
West Ham lose every game they play but somehow never end up in the relegation zone
 
The Champions League semi between us and Arsenal in 2009 at The Emirates remains the only Champions League game to be played in natural day light.
 
Every time a top player scores a screamer, a thoroughly average scores a better one the next day.
I remember Rooney smashing a volley in from 25 yards and then Leon Tetty for Norwich or someone scored one from 35 yards.
 
Whenever a striker leaves a lower ranked team to go to a better, higher profile team, his old team automatically start the season performing better without him and his replacement (usually some unknown) starts banging in the goals.

Great goal but it came years after Rooney last smashed in a volley.

There's a fair few examples out there. Rooney left Everton when they finished 17th, then they came 4th. Henry left Arsenal in 4th, next year they finished 3rd and mounted a title challenge. RVN left us 2nd in 06, then we won the league with Ronaldo stepping up. Granted though, probably more a thing you notice when it does happen as opposed to the countless examples of when teams will have struggled, since then struggling would be the normal expectation.
 
Claudio Bravo has never made a save so far during his man city career.

(This may not be a weird feeling, it could actually be true)

For example I am not sure my timings are right but Swansea sold Bony and Gomis came in and outperformed him.

Robbie Keane leaving Spurs for Liverpool, didn't work out etc.
