Weird feelings of football

[Fingeredmouse]

I mean haven't you already won both with them as owners?

Yes. Yes we have.

 

[wolvored]

We’ve already won several of them since they’ve owned the club. 5 league titles, 1 champions league and 2 more finals.

Yes sorry I should have said since Fergie or going forward.

Every time a rare or unusual incident happens in a football match (either on the pitch, or off)... an eerily similar incident will either have occurred at another match being played at the same time, or occur in the match played straight afterwards, or occur in the match played the very next day! And then those types of incidents will not occur again for a very, very long time! Plenty I can remember...

The penalty red card decisions involving both Luiz (Wolves vs Arsenal) and Bednarek (United vs Southampton) in more recent times.

The day the Birmingham "fan" attacked Grealish... there were two other less severe incidents in other games, an Arsenal fan putting his hand on Smalling as he run past him to celebrate a goal, and a similar incident in a Scottish league match too! All either on the same day/same weekend!

Crowd trouble in the stands with police in the Roma/Man Utd first leg back in 2007... anyone remember that? Before Roma got spanked 7-1 in the second leg... anyway the very next day there were very similar scenes in Tottenham's away UEFA Cup tie in Seville (I remember them showing it live during the game!) Of course the Roma-Man Utd stuff could have been on the Sevilla/Spurs fans' mind and kinda encouraged it in a way...

However I think one of the strangest I remember, was one day in the Premier League where there were three separate incidents (from three different games) involving teammates squaring up to each other... very peculiar... rare to get that at any time (on the pitch) but three on the same day was super weird!

I'm sure those on the Caf have many more of these types of things!

nice shout. I wonder if this is to do with copy cat theory. Given pro football and the incidents you mentioned all would’ve grabbed the attention of the footballing players / footballing world.

Newcastle and Villa play each other every week.

 

[horsechoker]

All Bundesliga transfers are completed 6 months before the summer.

 

[TheRockSays]

Karim Benzema is the only striker at Real Madrid.

 

[RedDevilCanuck]

Every Everton manager is doing a "fantistic" job despite Everton being placed like they do every year.

 

[SalfordRed18]

You can tell within the first ten minutes of a Man Utd game what the result will be.

This is painfully true

Everton are just a Waitrose Burnley

 

[P0GBA]

When a player has a son who plays in the same position as them e, g Andy Cole, George Weah, etc the son will not be as good a player as his father was. The only way the son will be a better player than his father is if they play in a totally different position to him.

 

[Reapersoul20]

Anyone who uses the phrase "low block" is (a) a gowl (b) thinks they know more about football than they actually do and (c) started watching football in the 20's.

 

[P0GBA]

When a player claps a cross or pass that he is unable to get to, he is sarcasticly saying to his team mate "how was I supposed to get to that?"

 

[jem]

There has been a recent proliferation of Spanish players called Llorente, none of whom seem that good.

 

[matherto]

All Bundesliga transfers are completed 6 months before the summer.

That German efficiency

 

[matherto]

If a player is featured in an interview or some sort of segment before a game (usually like an FA Cup tie) then they’re guaranteed to have a shite game

 

[horsechoker]

Welbeck only scores against United.

 

[Sandikan]

The kicking the ball away/time wasting offence.

It must be the only offence in football that is judged against what the current scoreline is, and how late in the game it is.

Take today. Maupay boots the ball into the crowd a good 5 seconds after a free kick awarded, at 1-0 up, but first half. Similar with one of their skinny players. Nothing given.

Greenwood a little side foot away post 90mins and it's an instant yellow.

Similar with keepers.
A keeper can take a minute per kick early on, irrespective of leading. Yet when it's 80+, if they take 30secs the ref starts getting lippy.

 

[kidbob]

Welbeck only scores against United.

My other weird feeling of him is that when he was on loan from us he always scored against our rivals.

 

[SuperiorXI]

The kicking the ball away/time wasting offence.

It must be the only offence in football that is judged against what the current scoreline is, and how late in the game it is.

Take today. Maupay boots the ball into the crowd a good 5 seconds after a free kick awarded, at 1-0 up, but first half. Similar with one of their skinny players. Nothing given.

Greenwood a little side foot away post 90mins and it's an instant yellow.

One of the most obvious examples of inconsistencies in football. They have been there for a long time and I guess we just have to accept it?

 

[Lay]

Every team plays low block and it fecking sucks.

 

[Sandikan]

Every team plays low block and it fecking sucks.

I suppose it was the most obvious way football had to evolve from those wild days of the early 90s where every team played 4-4-2 with one tubby passer, and one tackler, and the gaps were huge.

Spot on.

 

[WakeAndBeek]

Norwich have either been promoted from the championship or relegated from the premier league every season since 2011

 

[Shane88]

Mason Mount is the most generic looking footballer ever.

 

[Dark Side of the Moon]

You could make a full league out of players with the names Sissoko, Mendy, and Dembele.

 

[horsechoker]

Dr. Felix Brych has reffed all our European Games this season.

Dr. Felix Brych has reffed all our European Games this season.

I always feel like he's James Milner undercover.

 

[Robertd0803]

The Stadio Olmypico has the narrowest pitch in football history. The corner flags and touchline are literally one yard from the edge of the keepers box.

 

[Tomuś]

West Ham and Everton play each other on Sunday every week, even if they have a different fixture on Saturday.

Cavani has already scored 30 plus goals this season.

 

[Gibb11]

There's only one referee available for European games... You know his face

 

[P0GBA]

Almost every PSG game has a red card.

 

[Alive and Kicking]

Liverpool never actually lost 6 in a row at Anfield.

We all willed them to lose there after that never-ending unbroken run and collectively we hallucinated it.

 

[jem]

For me, there are two of them: Cun(ey)t Cakir, the bastard who red-carded Nani; and the James Milner doppelganger.

 

[Isotope]

ANy team that has Messi or Ronaldo would win the League or CL every season.

 

[jem]

Wolves have lost every game this season.

 

[Lay]

Wolves have lost every game this season.

I was going to post something similar. They either have lost every game or drawn every game this season.

 

[jem]

I was going to post something similar. They either have lost every game or drawn every game this season.

And yet I have zero confidence in our getting a result against them this weekend!

 

[jem]

Mason Mount is the most generic looking footballer ever.

Dean Henderson gives him a strong run at this particular title.

 

[Sandikan]

Wolves have lost every game this season.

They don't seem to have scored since Jiminez was out.

 

[stu_1992]

If a Keeper gets a yellow for time wasting, his eventual kick will always go straight to the opposition and their own team in under pressure again.
