Weird feelings of football

Man United drop more points when they play on BT Sports compared to Sky Sports.

Sky Sports now script their analysis in order to hype up certain talking points.

Gabriel Batistuta was top scorer in the Serie A every season in the 90s.

In reality he was only top scorer once - 1994/95 (26 goals).

Panathinaikos and Olympiakos are the same team and always have at least 1 player who used to be a talent in the Dutch league who went on to disappear.

They also always have a West African player with an evangelical sounding name who used to, or will in the future, play for an Israeli side for a brief period.

David De Gea hasn’t made a single save since that Arsenal game at the Emirates

Even though you know exactly how crap our squad is and who is available you will always get excited about the line up being announced before a game.

You will also be equally as disappointed every time you eventually see the line up, again despite knowing exactly who is available and there being no better alternative to the reality.

All the Brazilians with 'boring' names like Fred, Nathan and Kenedy have been underwhelming to say the least.

Stamford Bridge has shrunk significantly since last season.

Perreira not being a good footballer is weird. Usually a Brazilian in their 20s with dyed hair and a name like that amount to top players

Jimmy Skitz · Sep 1, 2019

you often see a right back covering at left back but you never see a left back covering for a right back

David Silva is a Barcelona player. He is just on a long term loan at City and Barca can recall him anytime they want

Lay · Sep 4, 2019

Right backs and left backs can only score long range wonder goals. They'll never be in the box for a corner.

stu_1992 · Sep 4, 2019

United never have a positive result heading into the international break. Any time a break is coming up, we're guaranteed to slip in the final game and make the break even more painful than it already is.

Sandikan · Sep 4, 2019

Any defender coming into United, even if they've never missed a game in their career injured previously, will start to pick up niggles almost immedo.

Mata was at Chelsea longer than he's been at United

That game at the Emirates was the last time both De Gea and Sanchez were world class players. They've both turned from world class to garbage overnight.

I just checked this. Genuinely alarmed to find out that they didn't.

For De Gea - Spurs away back in February

Yes, that's definitely a qualifier for this thread! I had to double-check myself.

Bournemouth's stadium doesn't have a name.

Tottenham’s new stadium doesn’t have a name either

I honestly dont know the name of the stadium. I havent watched a single game at their new stadium and in my head they still play at Wembley.

Spurs finished runners up to Leicester.

Another brilliant one. I don't know the answer.

Every few seasons Salzburg and Basel pop up with 3 new pacy forwards that then subsequently leave and become big stars.

no Spurs came 3rd in a 2 horse race

that season already feels like a lifetime ago

I know; hence the weird feeling.

C'mon FC · Sep 18, 2019

- In every french team plays at least 1 Dembele.
- Busquets gets fouled "hard" every game so he has to roll on the pitch.
- Ramos needs to talk to the Ref every game.
- Benfica losing every CL game with 1 goal difference.
- Klopp has the same haircut since 1987.
- Red Star Belgrade and Slavia Prague have exactly the same jersey.
- L. Suarez is always looking for some cheese.

Theo Walcott hasn’t played a game since 2016

Theafonis · Sep 18, 2019

Whenever there’s a long discussion over who takes a free kick, the player who takes it blasts it into row z or hits the wall. Same with penalties.

Harry Kane takes corners and no one knows why.

Giggs86 · Sep 19, 2019

Shakhtar Donetsk is a Brazilian mid-table club that just happen to be located in Ukraine.

van der star · Sep 22, 2019

Thiago Silva is 35 today. Can't believe it's been 10 years since he signed for Milan. Best pure defender of his generation. Shame he's spent most of his career at PSG.

I swear I watched him played just recently, at least last season.

Ha! I got it mixed up with this one;

Look at which thread you're in.

Every Saturday at 3.01pm, City are 1-0 against bottom half cannon fodder.

WakeAndBeek · Sep 22, 2019

Quique Sanchez Flores just exists, no one knows if he’s a good manager or not and he always reappears at a newly promoted/bottom half team.
