Whenever Andre Mariner is pictured on TV he's shaking his head saying 'No!' to a player moaning for a penalty.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
Why do i have the weird feelings that the league cup is actually stronger then the FA cup, in recent times. Better teams reach the semi's in league cup, rather then the other.
Spanish teams always get the better of us.
Which makes us beating Celta Vigo so much sweeter, especially with that Guidetti being haunted by his last kick of the game.
On occasions we beat City away, it's always by score of 3-2.
There was no CL final in 2006, it was just back-to-back Liverpool vs Milan finals.
Jesse Lingard only ever gets compared with players younger than him
This is not a weird feeling, this is true.
Mourinho didn’t win the Premier League in his second stint at Chelsea.
He came back, said something about a horse, then went mental and sacked a doctor for no reason.

I never see players clean through, 1 on 1 with the keeper any more. Not happened since Henry.
Morata is a Morientes regen.
Left backs are better going forward but right backs are better defensively. (Applies more to the late 90s early 00s)
A Left back will score more rockets and are more likely to be penalty takers than a right back
Traditional Right wingers don’t exist anymore. They’re either number 10’s or inverted wingers.

The last time Arsenal won the league, was 15 years ago.
How is that a weird feeling of football, and not just a fact?
You could say that about literally everythinng that was posted in here my dude.
They quite literally aren't. Have you read the OP or any other post in this thread?
Ever since SAF left, the moment fans start getting excited over something, if it's justified or not, we hit a brick wall, lose the next game and consequently spiral into a bit of a losing run. Which is why the following weekend might be a bit shit.
Also Lukaku plays better with short sleeves.

Harsh on Morientes. He was actually a really good striker.
Paul Ince is actually a northerner despite speaking with cockney accent.
also Jesse lingard is the same age as rashford
It is written in the lawbooks of the country that tv pundits have to ask players and managers if they thought they deserved the win after they've pulled off a shock victory. The only exception to this is if the players and managers just come out and say it anyway, which they do half the time without being prompted.

FA Cup Semis have nearly always been stronger.
It really has been a period of false dawn after false dawn, signings can be applied to this too but I strongly believe it’s been our managers that have been infuriatingly incompetent and now we have someone who finally gets it. We’ll still have disappointing results as every single team does no matter how good they are, but I feel so much better about things.
Giggs and Blomqvist were never on the pitch at the same time.
Along similar lines, 14-15 as a season just sort of feels like it didn't happen. Or one that later became mostly insignificant. It was an incredibly plain year thinking back. Chelsea basically waltzed to the title excepting for a brief blip, City ambled to 2nd place, we mounted the beginnings of a recovery under LVG but later regressed, Pochettino was starting to build a strong Spurs side but hadn't done anything of note yet, and Arsenal just sort of finished 3rd or 4th or something. With Leicester then shocking everyone the following season it didn't feel like any of the big sides (apart from maybe Spurs) progressed from one season to another in a way that seemed at all logical or what you'd expect.
This is very accurate.
I'm wondering if it's perhaps because there are less left-footed players out there, and so typically you'll see more wingers with a left foot converted into left-backs than the other way round. Think of someone like Bale who's made a career as an attacker but started out as a left-back!
Pre-2010 (that's a ballpark guess), fullbacks were generally failed CBs or failed Wingers, so yeah makes sense.
1999 CL Final?
Luke Shaw is around 1.70 cm
2019 is pretty strong
2017/2018 Equally
2016/2017 FAcup by far, also best semis ever
2015/2016 league cup
2014/2015 league cup only slight
2013/2014 league cup
2012/2013 FA cup
2011/2012 FA cup
so it's pretty much a tie for me
Every time the opposition team scores a goal in front of the Stretford end they always celebrate in the corner by the tunnel rather than by the North stand.
1999 CL Final?
Doh! Forgettable game in fairness...
Jesse Lingard will always be 21.
Fellaini is very frugal with his money.
best one for a while. He also looked constantly sleep deprived and as if he'd had a few drinks in the sun.He'll have a big future ahead of him till the day he retires
Yeah it’s weird. Probably because he broke through late.He'll have a big future ahead of him till the day he retires
Give him a school uniform and it doesn't look weird, the guy looks stupid young for his age.
Ronaldinho never played against us
Xavi made his CL debut against us in the thrilling 3-3 draw at Old Trafford in the treble season.
LVG was the opposing manager.
