Crystal Palace have not played a European game yet.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
The skinniest Premier League CB in 2004 would be of average build now.
What about Steve Bruce?
When a static comes up on the screen such as Everton set pieces conceded this season - 0. Literally seconds later they concede a set piece.
Spurs lose every other week but are still third.
Stéphanie Frappart referees every womens international game.
Liverpool play Crystal Palace about 15 times a season.
The whole Italy squad is currently involved in match-fixing.
To be an English pundit/manager post-2000s, you need to be nude on camera first.
Young, Dier, Ferdinand, Lampard, etc.

Why are you looking at Young nudes?
Newcastle have played at home every single game this season
Newcastle always play United between boxing day and new years
Wolves finish in the bottom 3 every season but never get relegated
I'm not sure this is all that weird of a feeling?
He played 200-odd games for them. It's like having a weird feeling that Ruud van Nistelrooy played for United.
Wrong thread, you want 'not that weird things that definitely happened'
Haha, I was misled by Lineker's omission of Chelsea, and Shearer/Richards not mentioning it either. When all you hear is two big London clubs, you just assume your memory is making up even more big London clubs.
I feel the same about Burnley and the PL
It's like they were promoted to some weird interzone and ceased to exist
You can put on any random Serie A match from the last 15 years and there's a 50/50 chance Juan Cuadrado is playing.
White home shirts are always dull and boring as f*ck, but white away shirts always look class.
thisThat's a great shout
Bruno G regularly puts in 5 out of 10 performances week in week out for Newcastle, yet because he kicks a few players and shouts a bit he gets lauded as a combative midfield general.
Tottenham have lost every week but are still in the top 4
Aston Villa have also lost every week buts reality is they've only lost 3 games this season which is the same as City and United and less than Liverpool.

When it's monday night football, Everton are in it.
The PL rarely had black goalkeepers in the 90s, and when they did they always wore black jogging bottoms and had a reputation for being flamboyant but error prone.
I feel like this has only changed in the last few years. Mandanda was the only high profile one for ages and then a bunch of decent ones (and Onana who seemed decent until he joined us) spawned at once.
Dida?
In the PL?
I completely missed Mandanda's spell at palace
Will Hughes has been an impressive servant for Palace, turning out for them every season since 1995
There is always litter blowing around Sunderland's pitch.
Xhaka's been decent I thought?
Harsh on the fans
United haven't won a 3pm Saturday game since 2013
Bruno Fernandes leads the Premier League for chances created in the 2025/26 season with 28, and fans still think, he has been bad this season.
I don’t sit firmly on either side of that one but it’s tempered by his extreme high risk style having material negatives to weigh up against the creativity.
He can swing from liability to superstar multiple times in the same game.
Games ending in a 3-1 home win happens all the time and 0-0 almost never happens. (0-0 is more common)
Arthur Conan Doyle was the first goalkeeper for the Portsmouth Association Football Club, a predecessor to the modern Portsmouth FC. He played under the pseudonym "A.C. Smith" to avoid any perception that his medical career was being neglected.
