Everton always manage to somehow simultaneously frustrate fans by performing below expectations while still ultimately managing to always finish 7th or 8th with about 55 points.

Teams are better at scoring free kicks against United than against other teams.

Probably because we allow the likes of Ashley Young to play for us. A completely unnecessary challenge that gave them a second free kick in the same position.

Juventus and Bayern Munich had a deal over a five-year period or so that Mandzukic, Douglas Costa and Vidal could play for both clubs. If the clubs met in CL, the players could change teams at half-time.

Only clubs with white, blue, or red as kit colours win trophies. Green, yellow etc never win trophies.

Sheffield Wednesday's modern club crest is actually their old one and their old one is their modern one

Chris Wood or Ashley Barnes score every week but only end up with at most ten goals come the end of the season.

Micheal Owen stopped playing at 25 and only made one guest appearance a year thereafter.

Jermaine Jenas still plays for Newcastle

Similar to a couple of posts on this page, all keepers now have "worldies" against us and Everton lose or draw most weeks but somehow finish top half.

We have too many Monday Night games

Before joining Arsenal, David Luiz moved between Chelsea and PSG every summer.

Jaimy Vardy was in his early twenties when he won the league with Leicester and is currently 26 years old.

As soon as players are coming in to join Man Utd, their quality rating (a la fifa) decreases with 10 points.

Domenico Berardi and Andrea Belotti are exactly the same player.

I still expect one of the Berezutsky brothers to be a starter for CSKA in every game they play. In reality they currently are assistent managers at Vitesse.

Every Eredivisie team bar Ajax Feyenoord and PSV has a loan player from either Chelsea or Man City.

Every pitch across Europe is always a darker shade of green on Champions League nights.

And lower league manager with a semblance of fashion whose team doesn’t hoof it is known as the ‘Football League’s Pep’.

Everytime a player scores, someone will bump or create a thread asking why United sign him or why United should sign him

The Russian league consists of 17 teams from Moscow (CSKA, Lokomotiv, Spartak, Dinamo, etc...) and then there’s Zenit from Saint Petersburg.

All mid table teams look class when playing us and shit when playing each other.

Liverpool have a completely average midfield, yet somehow they dominate the middle of the park against every team they play, including Man City.

You become a better financial expert by being a football fan than with a degree in economics.

Eric Dier isn't a Chelsea player
I feel you. He belongs there like Scott Parker did. Who's name nowadays would either be a surname like Walker-Pieters or a first name like Trent Alexander. Always waiting for that extra name of his

There was a 2 month period about a decade ago (I think when Capello was just appointed England manager) where Jermaine Jenas was head and shoulders above everyone else in the league.

nobody else seems to remember it, but i swear it happened. Sure he started Capello’s first game as a result and scored

Fairly certain Dejan Lovren left Liverpool to go to Serie A just after the last World Cup

Not only that, but these players seem to have made-up names: Rabbi Matondo, Simeon Kerplunk, Tarot-Card Pipkins etc etc.
