Marco Reus has never won a league title, European trophy, or international trophy.
Weird things about football that are true but don't sound it
- Thread starter 2 man midfield
- Start date
Tottenham played in this current champions league.
Two key first team Manchester United players ruptured their ACL in the same damn game at a crucial time in the season.
Glen Johnson was the first signing of the Roman Abramovich era at Chelsea.
Teddy Sheringham is 51. Crazy to think he was 25 when he signed for Forest in 1991!
Messi is only four years older than Neymar.
Surprised me anyway. Messi has been around forever where's Neymar still kinda seems like the new kid on the block.

No team with a running track around its pitch has ever won the English Premier league.
In 2016, West Ham United, a team playing in the English Premier League, chose to move to a stadium with a fecking big running track round it.

No Barcelona player won La Liga Player of the Month until Neymar in 2015
Is that right? That's mental.
The award only seems to have started in 2013
still, it sounds completely untrue but apparently isThe award didn't exist before 2013/14 so it's not as mad as it sounds.

I was going to say, something about that doesn't seem quite right.Wayne Rooney starts a football match today.
Gabriel Agbonlahor has scored more Premier League goals for Aston Villa than any other player, including Dwight Yorke, Dion Dublin and Christian Benteke.
Gabriel Agbonlahor has been capped three times for England.
Gabriel Agbonlahor today scored his first goal of the season in the second tier of English football in the last week of April.

For 6 straight seasons in the 1920's, the team with the best defensive record won the league. The key to success perhaps?
The next season, Cardiff City had the best defensive record, and finished rock bottom.

Michael Laudrup have won El Classico 5-0 with both Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Alberto Moreno once looked like an actual footballer when he was still at Sevilla.
Michael Laudrup decided to stay on holiday instead of playing for Denmark in the 1992 Euros which Denmark won.
And Denmark didn't even qualify in the first place, but the civil war in Yugoslavia saw Yugoslavia disqualified which meant Denmark was invited instead.
Consecutive seasons too, I think.
My roommate has this (not verified) - Benteke scored more goals at Anfield as opposition player than as a Liverpool striker.
He didn't quite get along with the coach, that more than anything was the reason he didn't go.
Yep, he won five consecutive La Liga titles. Four with Barcelona, then packed up moved to Madrid and took the title with him.
Benteke has scored more goals at Anfield as opponent than as Liverpool player.
Crystal palace won 3 consecutive games at Anfield. Apparently only Chelsea did this in early 2000s. Amazing record for Palace.

Gennaro Gattuso's Pisa in Serie B have the best defensive record in the league having conceded just 28 goals... but they sit one place above the bottom of the table.
They've scored just 21 goals. Even the team below them, Latina, have managed to score 33 times.

And probably never will if things continue like this to be honest. Sad, hes one of my favourite players in terms of attitude and playstyle.
ISS Pro legends.
Probably one of the biggest discrepancies between talent and trophy cabinet I can remember in recent history.
At least Totti won the World Cup.
Bit of a misconception by some people that the combination of Beckham crossing to Van Nistelrooy was deadly in its day.
Beckham actually only assisted 7 of RVNs 150 united goals. The same amount as Silvestre. Go figure.

What about Neville? maybe it was coming from the right side.
Everton are the most beaten side in PL history
Anagram?No it isn't...
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. What I meant its V=5, I=1, D=500, I=1, C=100, so if you add them it makes 607.
Didn't expect that!Since the start of the 2015-16 PL season, Spurs have won 13 more points than anyone else in the league. Additionally quite strange is the fact that 2nd-6th in that timespan are all within three points of each other, albeit with some having games in-hand etc.
They actually got rid of that many years ago.This exists outside of Fulham's stadium.
Our 25 game unbeaten streak is the longest we have managed in a top flight season. More than Sir Matt and Sir Alex managed to get, yet has only brought us 51 points.
What a shame. You really couldn't beat it. I'll go ahead an leave now.
