Weird feelings of football

The pitch at Old Trafford is surrounded by a 10 ft moat rendering any unsuspecting winger or full back in danger of their lives should they plunge off the edge. Some believe this is a homage to the old training ground pre Carrington.
 
The funniest is when smaller players come at a big player with a lot of force, bounce off, and then get a free kick in their favour.
This is so true!! :lol::lol: Reminded me of that Arsenal game in which Wilshere (sp?) headbutted Felli in the chest, didn't get sent off and then ended up injuring himself much much longer term.
 
Since 2013 every striker has scored on their England debut.

Croatia always wear their away kit.
 
It’s been at least 8-9 years since we dominated a league game and scored 5/6 goals.
 
Strikers in the 90s were all good finishers who never missed a simple chance.
 
Gary Lineker either looked like he did in World Cup 90 or like he does now, there was no in between.
 
Even though he hasn’t managed a club for 10 years Alan Curbishly will be third favourite with the bookies for a vacant manager’s job with a Premier League club.

England were knocked out of the 2018 World Cup in the quarter finals on penalties.

When United have a black away kit we always perform better away from home against the big sides.

I always look at players and think they are older than me even though I’m 27.
 
Strikers of rival clubs score every chance they get, especially when I'm watching the game, while ours miss everything.
 
As a manager in competitive games Ryan Giggs has only beaten teams wearing green, yellow or both green and yellow.

Ditto, and I'm closing in on 40. Will be interesting to see how old I am when that feeling goes away.

I still look 20 years younger than Alan Cork at 34 though.

Roy Keane scored his header against Juventus before he got the yellow card that ruled him out of the final.
 
It’s been at least 8-9 years since we dominated a league game and scored 5/6 goals.

Well, the last time we scored 5 (or more) goals in a league game was Sir Alex' last game (5-5 vs. WBA) in May 2013.
Since then the other big clubs did it 57 times. (City 21, Liverpool 12, Tottenham 9, Arsenal 8, Chelsea 7)

It's beyond depressing.
 
Manchester United spend 200 million every summer trying to upgrade their team, but by the time November rolls around Fellaini, Smalling, Jones, Young, and Valencia are in the starting eleven again.

Sergio Busquets and Gerard Pique were 28 at the 2010 World Cup and they are 28 now.

The first one isn't really too far from the actual truth barring this season.
 
Everton have never beaten Liverpool.
 
Strikers in the 90s were all good finishers who never missed a simple chance.

Apart from Andrew Cole, who weirdly got a reputation for needing five chances to score one goal.

International breaks are simultaneously two weeks and 18 months in length.

Wouldnt say he injured himself someone snapped him in half cant remember who though.

Incredible stat, as if SAF was mic dropping the last game.
 
Chelsea haven’t changed their home kit since 2012

Arsenal Fan TV hasn’t put out a video since the middle of last season.

Chris Smalling is still a promising 24 year old even though he’s not even a promising 29 year old.
 
Chris Smalling’s barnet is cursed and until he gets it cut we’re forever doomed to be shit
 
Ashley Young gets a yellow every game, even though it usually takes him 4 fouls, but he's never suspended, unless he was caught for some other incident retrospectively.
