Weird things about football that are true but don't sound it
- Thread starter 2 man midfield
- Start date
Mitrovic is only 22 years old was shocking when I heard that.
Not as crazy when you look at the winners each season
2011-12: RvP (Arsenal), Rooney (Man Utd)
2012-13: RvP (Man Utd), Suarez (Liverpool)
2013-14: Sturridge (Liverpool), Suarez (Liverpool)
2014-15: Costa (Chelsea), Kane (Spurs)
2015-16: Kane (Spurs), Vardy (Leicester)
and that voting is done a few months before season ends. Goalscoring stats:
In 2011-12, RVP and Rooney were the top scorers. 1. RVP (30), 2. Rooney (27), 3. Aguero (23)
In 2012-13, RVP and Suarez were the top scorers (Aguero didn't even make the top 10). 1. RVP (26), 2. Suarez (23)
In 2013-14, Suarez and Sturridge were the top scorers. 1. Suarez (31), 2. Sturridge (21), 4. Aguero (17)
In 2014-15 he was the top scorer. 1. Aguero (26), 2. Kane (21), 3. Costa (20)... however Aguero scored 9 goals in April and May in the space of 7 games which would have been after voting closed, hence why Kane and Costa were chosen.
In 2015-16 he was in the top scorers along with Kane and Vardy but understandable why the other two made it. 1. Kane (25), 2. Aguero (24), 3. Vardy (24)
If not for Aguero's injuries he likely would have made it one season.
During the title race a few years ago, the captain of one of the teams in it was caught on tape shouting to his teammates "this will not fecking slip".
In the following game, he physically slips at a critical moment allowing the opposition to score a goal effectively ending their chance to win the Premier League.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have scored a combined 808 goals for their clubs since Ronaldo's move to Madrid, both averaging more than a goal a game over this 8-year-period.
Still unbelievable. Unbelievably funny.
Manchester Utd's record home league attendance was at Maine Road.
Damn, that's impressive. Testament to how much of a goal threat he is that this stat doesn't even seem too improbable.
They are monsters.
Err...
I don't have a hard time believing this considering he's the all time top goal scorer but the second fact is a bit surprising.
If George Best had have played for United as long as Ryan Giggs he would have played for Alex Ferguson.
Similar to this - Tom Davies wasn't born when Gareth Barry made his PL debut.
That's ridiculous.
United were 3 point away from winning 7 consecutive Premier League titles.

isn't it two points?
1 point and a certain amount of goals.
Ah yeah just check, your right it's two.
Wow this sounds crazy to think about
Ibra is just one year younger than Ronaldinho.
Feenando Torres is 33, same school year and birth year as me. It feels like I have known about him since I was 12 or 13 meaning he should be much older than me.
Falcao, Victor Valdes, Schweinsteiger, Di Maria and Pique all played for us at one point.
From 93 - 01 United were 2 points away from winning 9 consecutive Premier League titles .
The Rooney point isn't weird as we know he was.
The points about Norway are headscrathers though.
I keep forgetting about Valdes. It's like he never was at Utd.
That one is just crazy.
Here is the King:
Kingsley Coman

Major honours:
Ligue 1: 2012–13, 2013–14
Serie A: 2014–15
Bundesliga: 2015–16
Thanks God he is only the runner-up at UEFA European Championship 2016 and UEFA Champions League 2014-15
Total trophies/honours up to today (20 years old): 11

It's weird when you see him now, just a shadow of the player he used to be.
The facts about Norway, i don't think many are aware of.
Probably the only things in football we can be proud of, except Solskjær
?
The Brazilian Ronaldo.
Or up till 2003 it was Fernando Hierro who was Spain's all-time scorer.
Technically, ronaldo was part of milan in 2007, though cup-tied to madrid
Gerard Pique has played with all of Messi, Neymar, Suarez, C Ronaldo, Rooney, Ibra, Torres, David Villa, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Scholes, Giggs, Puyol, Vidic, Ferdinand, Dani Alves and Gary Neville
3 points isn't it? 2 needed in 2010 and 1 in 2012.
And Darron Gibson, don't forget!
Cristiano Ronaldo could go 414 games without scoring and still have a better goal scoring record for Real than club legend Raul.
Ah. Oh right.
Frank Lampard scored 20 or more goals in all competitions in 5 consecutive seasons.
Real Madrid has never won the treble
