Weird feelings of football

Since Ole's appointment, at least 3 out of United, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal drop points every week

Claret and blue is a strange color combination and almost all clubs who use it have little or no variation in their kits across seasons

Despite his stats, every time you watch Harry Kane, he seems to be the most ineffective player on the pitch

Chelsea have had an inversely proportional relationship with managers who have brought their best European campaigns. (Sarri, Di Matteo, Benitez and Avram Grant)
 
Chillwell and Cresswell are the same player.

Alderweireld and Vertonghen are the same player.
 
Fabregas spent a long time in Barcelona after Arsenal and only came back to Chelsea for a few seasons hardly playing much. He actually played more for Chelsea than Barcelona!
 
Our players would look star players in many other Premier league teams.

Yeah but how many would look like stars in the top 4?

Easier to look a star when the pressure and expectation are far less, many of us thought Schneiderlin was perfect but he looked average here.

This.


Despite being wrong Ive long held the belief that Harry Kane is actually rubbish at every aspect of football besides goal scoring.

I am aware I am very wrong about this.

Carthorse is a word I always think.
You just know he'd be terrible if we bought him, and wouldn't even have the stats to disprove ourselves!
 
If Sky, BT or whoever is covering a game does a special feature before the game about one player, that player will have an awful game.

Spurs fans did say they were a better team without kane. They defo would have given the Scousers a better game in the CL final without him.
 
Darmian has never played a full 90mins for United without a booking.
 
Players are utterly shit at gauging their own decline, so they keep going to the MLS and then realising they're not done yet so they come back to England.
 
Josh King could have over 100 caps for Norway and I will still be surprised he plays for them when I see his name on the team sheet.
 
Frank Lampard had an obscene amount of luck with deflected goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo having both too much attention but also being under-valued at the same time for his impact on the role of the wide forward.

Fergie always boiling down tactics to "tempo" of passing.

James Milner has been at Liverpool for at least 10 years.

Dele Alli and Eric Dier became absolutely shite overnight and no one knows when exactly did that happen.

Phil Jones has been 27 for the past 5 years and has played about 10 games in that time.

Alexis Sanchez and Bastian Schweinsteiger never played for Manchester United.

Aubameyang has scored in every game he played for Arsenal. Coincidently, Arsenal play every game against a bottom 5 side at home and always win.
 
Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005 against a very good AC Milan side with a team that started with Milan Baros, Djimi Traore and Steve Finnan. Vladimir Smicer was even a goal scorer.
 
You now see more goalkeepers wearing a shirt with a number 3 on it such as 13 or 31 than you see wearing the number 1 shirt.
 
Whoever was a Premier league team when you were a kid and collected stickers like Coventry & Swindon are still Premier league clubs now in your head, Premier league clubs now like Bournemouth & Burnley are still lower league clubs

Absolutely.

That's a good one. Sheffield Wednesday are definitely still a Premier League club. Oldham and Wimbledon too. Wimbledon don't even exist in the same form anymore, but the ghost of Wimbledon are still a bigger club than Burnley, Bournemouth etc

Funny though because Oldham were in the PL for what? 1-2 seasons. Burnley and Bournemouth have been in for way longer. That’s childhood nostalgia for you.
