The seriousness of a foul is directly proportional to the loudness of the ref's whistle.
Weird feelings of football

When David de Gea plays for Manchester United, 90% of shots on target are about a metre either side of his feet.
When he plays for Spain...not so much.

Pochettino is Ander Herrera’s da
Every player about to be subbed on will adjust his balls on the sidelines while waiting.
This is spot on, even when they made top 4 they couldn’t beat Villarreal to actually reach the Chanpions League.
Derby County have never won a Premier League match.
Lionel Messi’s accelaration and speed decreased but passing range and vision improved as soon as he got a normal haircut.
Whenever Everton are on TV, they always pan over to Duncan Ferguson and wax about how great he was for them, even though I don't remember him scoring that much and his reputation was kinda based on his thuggishness.
Also it's a cert that if we're playing them, they'll mention he scored against us in one or two games? And that's somehow impressive enough to be mentioned constantly?

Scott McTominey today
Yep, as a former ref, I can confirm that's what you are trained to do.
How people apply the mantra of 'There's no easy games in the Premier League' then apply revisionism and say they were gimmies.
Do you have the notion that the majority of the posters here do know what sport they are talking about? Football.
Apart from their time under Villas Boas and up until this season, Chelsea had been playing the exactly same brand of football since Mourinho first took over.
Every other Football League game is decided by a stoppage time goal.
Additionally, a half of Football League goals are scored by a winger cutting inside and curling it into the far corner.
Ronaldo has not dribbled past a player since 2008.
The Paraguay national team ceased to exist when Santa Cruz retired from international football.

Kane misses six weeks of the season at around the same time every year.
Reminds me a little of collymore in his autobio saying that he "always" scored against us, when im not sure he scored more than one in his forest days
Leeds United disappeared after first division switched over to premier league, only to temporarily reappear when we faced them in cups.
We never win against West Brom at home.
We never win against West Brom at home.
Chris Brunt has played for West Brom for the last 30 years and has scored against us every time we've played them during that period.
Lower league games have at least two long range goals in every game
Haha, that's a great one actually
He didn't score a lot for Everton, most were with his head. He is the best header of the ball that I have ever seen. He also scored a few peaches including the first of his brace against us in 1996 (16&17 in video).
Can also see the thug in him in vs Stam in 2000.
Harry Redknapp went from being seen as a highly rated manager to an awful one simply as a result of being sacked by Tottenham in 2012.
It was the fringe, reduced drag when he ran but limited his vision
Juventus signs a free player each summer.
Having at least one naff team from Lancashire whose name starts with B in the English top flight is mandatory at all times. This is also the only reason Ian Holloway's Blackpool were ever allowed anywhere near the Prem.
Only 20% of James Ward-Prowse's career touches have been in open play.
When tuning into any given Spurs match that's already in progress, the first thing on the screen is always Harry Kane picking himself up off the floor having won a free kick on the halfway line.

Is it because Sky turned Digital in 2001, so the resolution of videos from then are much higher.
I'm amazed when I watch back clips from the 90's, you can barely make out the players! Clearly back then we didn't know better and thought it was crystal clear.
I'm not even sure it's that, although it probably helps. It just seemed like everything became more cutting edge and modern looking, from the design of the kits to the logos around the ground on the advertising boards. Everything looked very 90s, and became very 2000s seemingly overnight.
10+ years ago, Premier League teams were full of players who'd been there 7+ years. Now, each team has an entirely new squad each season (with the exception of Tottenham).
Whenever a replay is shown of a close United goalscoring chance, it always cuts straight back to the other team attacking, crowd behind them on the verge of scoring themselves.
Players play better and have a better technique with black or red football boots and worse when they wear white boots.
Every mid-top tier player in Serie A has previously played for domestic rivals at some point.
Would say Suarez is the perfect example of this, all the weird and "stupid" shots he took for Ajax and Liverpool, don't understand how half of them went in.
Every player who plays for AC Milan has at some point played for Inter Milan.
Tougher the name of a player/manager/DOF, higher the fans will rate him
i have a weird feeling that liverpool will win teh title this year, hope it wears off!
Since 2008/2009 we never had a fixed first 11, or a known best 11.
The squad from the 2011/2012 season was a very weird one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011–12_Manchester_United_F.C._season
Lots of defenders who sometimes played and sometimes didn't play (Rio, Vidic, Evans, Jones, Smalling, Rafael, Fabio) with Evra as the only constant. 3 wingers with similar playing time (Nani, Valencia, Young), who were just in and out of the side depending on the mood of the gaffer. 4 Center Forwards in the squad and about a dozen central midfielders, which was a very weird selection. Scholes, Park, Giggs, Carrick, Cleverley, Anderson, Fletcher and you even had Rafael and Phil Jones sometimes in midfield. Horrible squad building really.
I always hear the crowd make a noise and panic trying to figure out if that noise is good or bad for us depending on whether we're home/away and the crowd seems happy or sad
THIS
Someone gets sent off in about 90% of Brighton's games.
So weird but I agree !! if a footballer has nice football boots he is usually technically gifted
