Kante has never done a sliding tackle.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
Nainggolan and Sigurdsson never score close range goals
Alexander Arnold and Robertson are fifa youth academy players in the 6th season of career mode
Walcott is still 18 and kicking for Arsenal.
Not sure he ever needed to.
Liverpool have never won at OT except that time they tonked us 4-1.
On the other hand, our only win at Anfield in 15 years was when Mata scored a brace.
Yeah, just checked, it was 2 seasons. Feels like longer. Being part of the inaugural Premier League season and being in the top flight the year before is certainly part of that nostalgia, as those 2 seasons were just as I was getting in to football. I was at Wembley for the FA Cup semi final against them too (which was a draw and went to a replay) so in my head they're a sleeping giant. They'll be back... 20 years and counting, but they'll be back.
Not much changed aesthetically in the 11 years between now and 2008, but 1999-2010 looks like it skipped a decade.
A records themed one from me:
every start to the season is our worst in 35 years, even when a 2 minute check on google proves this to not be the case.
Liverpool have beat us at OT every season since Fergie left, rather than the obviously incorrectly researched stat of just once which is trotted out each time we play them.
In every home league game which we lead at half time it is mentioned by the commentators that we have never lost a home league game which we have led at the break - and in each of those games we have then gone on to lose.

This, and they were previously Carl Jenkinson.
Come on. Who can forget the O'Shea last minute winner in 2007?! In fact that's my favorite memory against Liverpool and one of my all time favorite United moments.
2015-16 - 1-0 win with Fellaini scoring
2014-15 - 2-1 win with Mata brace
2012-13 - 2-1 win with Rafael and RVP on the scoresheet
2007-08 - 1-0 win with Tevez scoring
2006-07 - 1-0 win
2004-05 - 1-0 win
2003-04 - 2-1 win
We have won many games at anfield in last 15 years.
Edit: Didn't see which thread this was.
A foul is never called when the away fans start chanting "Olé"
Fans will always declare the current time to be either the best or worst ever.
Currently it's the "worst" ever football, seemingly forgetting the depths of the Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho days.
"oh this is the worst ever" they say, having said that at each of the previous regimes too.

thats cos it gets worserer and worserer
When small teams beat big teams they only do so by wonder goals scored with one single, sublime passage of play.
True!!The multi millionaire/billionaire owners of football clubs play cards, snort coke and the winners team gets to win for the next 5 years. Kevin Glazer passed out after 2 shots, pissed the bed and puked in a Saudi Princes 10 million crystal flower pot. Now Utd will be sht until Kevin fks 3 sheep and marries 10th cousin Urma. He is selling up. Maybe its enough.
Nah, the worst is still to come, when the Glazers stop us even spending the 40m net spend of this summer
Liverpool and Arsenal have a scheduled match each year where they allow each other to score at least 4
The League cup always has at least one mental game in the early rounds where defending goes completely out the window.
Fellaini hit the bar, Rooney scored the winner in 15/16.
Jamie Vardy has been 32 years old since his break through season.
Theo Walcott still playing top flight football.
Everton play Spurs in the league at least once a month
Every British player who plays in Spain will grow long hair. e.g Bale, Beckham, Hughes, Woodgate etc.
Manchester United have been 4 players away from becoming a top side every summer since 2013 now. Every summer they buy new players, and then the next season four new weaknesses arise.
Helder Costa and Ivan Cavaleiro are the same.
And Helder Costa (or some alternate world version of him) played for Mourinho's Porto and the 2004 Portugal national team.
Roy Hodgson has been managing Crystal Palace for at least the last 5 years.
Pascal Gross always puts in inspirational performances against us.
"Billy Gilmore" and "Mason Mount" aren't real people. In fact, they're names pulled from a 1950's copy of Roy Of The Rovers.
Brazilians at the turn of the decade stopped focusing on samba football and all turned into workhorses.
Very good!
Brazil haven't had a "Brazilian" style team since 1970
Italy haven't had a decent striker since the 90s.

Totti was the first to come to mind, he was at his peak in the 2000s.
weird

Chicharito still plays for West Ham and Patrice Evra never played for them.
The fact that a referees choice of gear can determine a team has to wear their away kit.
Leicester v Arsenal at the weekend- Arsenal switched to their away kit because the ref is wearing pink so would clash with Arsenals kit. Why couldnt he wear the yellow ref kit instead?
