The next five fixtures on paper that you mark down as easy and 15 points never amounts to anything but a setback.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
Modern dogs let loose in the stadium would never chase the ball across the pitch.
I'm sure every team has this player. It must be one player per club that is secretly submitted to the FA as having suspension immunity, unless it's a red card.
Young is ours. Fernandinho is yours. Both players have more career bookings than appearances. I don't know who Liverpool's is now, but it used to be Lucas. That guy could have head his studs on the referees neck and still play the next game.
And that little shite who is/was at West Brom, Claudio Yacob, he's never been suspended ever. He must have spent more minutes in a game being on his final warning after a booking than he did being uncautioned.
Football began in 1992
No white British striker born outside of Newcastle has ever been able to become a regular starter in the Newcastle side
Arsenal never progressed past the QF's in the CL this century.
Every season where we get off to a slow start is our "worst start in 25+ years".
santiago bernabeu's goals are larger than average
There was more than 4 years between the 1999 CL win and Ronaldo signing for United.
Marquinhos is older than 24 years old.
Goals on Wembley too.
Jesse Lingard always scores when he plays against London clubs or when he plays at Wembley.
Good one this, painfully true hah...
Yeah feels like we get this every year - after our draw against Palace there was a widely circulated quote that it was our “worst start in 28 years” a cursory check on the Premier League site showed we started worse 2 years ago.
This is really weird to think about... they seem like such completely different eras. Four years is not a long time at all.
What I had also completely forgotten is that Ronny and Ole Gunnar were in the same squad for 3 years... in fact, in 06/07 Solksjaer made as many appearances as in our treble winning season.
Zanetti is still playing for inter.
Whenever Liverpool are drawing or losing they will always score the second I open the match day thread
And it will be a goal that should have been disallowed.
Stop opening the match day thread then
That really is strange. Seems about 10 years apart when you first consider it
Lee Cattermole retired five years ago, at the age of 35.
In reality, I just found out that not only is he still playing, but he's also only 30 years old!

One of Capoue or Doucoré scores in every Watford home game.
Also, in every Watford game there will be a guy playing for them who you were sure left the club at least two years ago.

Bloody hell! I guess he broke through at Boro very young didn't he, 17 maybe?
Are you telling me Lee Cattermole and Douglas Costa are only 2 years apart
They seem to be at complete opposite ends of the career spectrum
The only goalkeepers who wear caps to protect their eyes from the sun are English, the likes of Pickford, Hart, Kirkland, Robinson etc. No non-English goalie ever wears a cap, even when they can't see.
Crystal Palace is the only team in the world that its goalkeepers used pants post 90s, e.g. Speroni, Kiraly.
Whenever the referee warns two players when there is a corner, you might as well just give up the opportunity to score because it will be called as a foul against the attacker as soon as the ball is in the air anyway.
Speaking of that, I always get annoyed when players make fouls during a corner in the opposition box. Why the feck would you waste an opportunity to score?
This is so accurate.
The legendary Germán Burgos used to wear a cap in night games, the mad bastard.
And whenever the crowd go mad at a wrong decision the ref will give a very soft decision for them straight after , to put it right.
Goalies in short sleeved shirts will always look a bit weird.
Referees and officials always give off a shit eating grin when talking to players, whether it be offside calls or as they’re coming on as subs and the fourth official is chatting to them.
The top 6 are not dropping points this season except for Man Utd.
This is so trueCan't believe this is true. I thought PSG signed him at least 5 years ago a seasoned professional.
And baseball caps.
On a similar note, any 90s or early 00s goalkeeper that wore trousers instead of shorts in a match, would be guaranteed make a stupid mistake.
physically attractive players/managers will always be more highly rated by football fans who know nothing about them than the ugly ones they also know nothing about
Likewise, foreign players with long hair.
Pedro disappeared after winning the league with Chelsea in 16/17.
