A promising continental manager does well at a midtable club every season, being touted as a replacement for a big club, only for them to move sideways to a marginally better club before fading into obscurity once more.
Weird feelings of football
- Thread starter fontaine

Whenever you don't want a team to concede in the last minute...they concede.
Peter Schmeichel was the only goalkeeper to stand in the middle of the goal when the opposing team were taking a free kick. All other goalkeepers leave a bigger gap on one side meaning the opposing free kick taker will aim for the side with the biggest gap.
Every season there is a saga with a United player with the media saying they will leave at the end of their contract. e.g. De Gea, Fellaini, Martial Shaw etc. There is not a chance any of them will ever leave as we will happily pay double what any other team will pay them for them to stay.

Around 90% of Ashley Youngs crosses are blocked.
Around 90% of Ashley Youngs throw-ins goes to the opposition.

United play football with a special hadicap. 0-1.
The last 3 years Young plays 3-4 excellent games, while in the rest 30 games he is gifting the ball to the opposing team.
Ashley Young never smiles.
??
These are not weird feelings, it's mostly true. He is fecking abysmal.
Fair enough.
Ashley Young only plays well when there is time for contract negotiation.
West Ham sign more players than any other team but they are either all injured or don't make it into the starting line-up.
Bird.
Spot on
Spurs have lost every game this season but somehow are only 5 points off the top.
Players no longer have tucked in shirts. Players with tucked in shirt are usually tidy, no-nonsense with their play.
Fabinho getting pressed too easily.
True!
A goalkeeper has never become a good manager.
The tucked-in shirt died with Lee Cattermole’s career.
And probably also with the rule change.
There is a strong correlation between how good a player is and how many YouTube videos there are of him.
Only the world class players have entire channels dedicated specifically to them.

Every hyped player has a new compilation made about him every week on YouTube.
Small players will always get fouls called for them that tall players won't.
In all the years I’ve watched Stoke I don’t think Peter Crouch has ever won a free kick.
Sevilla wins the EL, even if they don't.
The CL semi final goal v Chelsea was the only goal Iniesta ever scored.
I'm convinced that you an get away with one thing on the likes of Fellaini whereas the same thing done to someone like Silva is considered a foul.
The funniest is when smaller players come at a big player with a lot of force, bounce off, and then get a free kick in their favour.
Start watching United from the second half.
Fulham haven't got any players other than Schürrle and Mitrović
Kasper Schmeichel is 32 years old. I genuinely thought he was 27 max.
This is a weird feeling indeed, given his world cup winning goal.
Watching an opposition keeper come up for a corner is one of the most nerve wracking experiences you can have as a fan even though nothing ever comes of it.

From a German perspective:
Dietmar Hamann is actually a native Englishman.
Lukas Podolski has never got older than 25.
On the contrary, Bastian Schweinsteiger was 30 years old when he left Bayern Munich and 50 years old the next day, when he started at United :-)...
Germany wasn't Germany for a couple of years but is now back to normal.

If you're talking about the country this is also true but for 45 years.
Oh please... But 45? What exactly happened in 1973?
Germany won Eurovision with a Danish singer?
I'm bored so you actually made me check it and its false. 1973 winner Anne Marie David (LUX): Tu te reconnaitras...
Same. To me though Sean Wright-Phillips is still a young a promising winger and Milner is still eligible for England under 21s, so it might just be us
