Weird feelings of football thread

Nolberto Solano was a one club man, who spent his entire career at Newcastle.

Also, Laurent Robert had to score a 30 yard screamer every week, or else he wouldn't get paid that week. It worked a treat.

I thought Robert was a really average player on a tangent.

Lee Trundle and Ricky Otto scored Le Tissier-like goals every weekend.

David Beckham never hit a corner past the first defender.

In the early 90s we had a promising young winger called Jason Wilcox who quit the game due to the abuse he got from the Riverside.

Was a frustrating player. He looked good on his day, I thought, but didn't show it often enough.

Scored a few belters though, from what I remember. Including a ridiculous free kick at Ewood in 2004. Must have been 35, or even 40 yards out, close to the Riverside touchline. Swerved all over the show.

Another Newcastle related one for the thread:

Newcastle finished in the top 4 every season under Sir Bobby Robson.

barry fry has been chairman and manager at every club he`s been involved with

[Oldgregg86]

Burnley cricket club also has a football team that plays at turf moor

[SuperBrfc]

Every foreign manager that comes to work in England has the same go to move, in order to show they mean business. Banning ketchup.

Every defender playing in Serie A in the 90s was a world class defender.

My impression was that every player in that baggy-shirted, sun-lit era was a deity, even those who could barely run, like Grigoris Georgatos who played football like it was snooker.

Wenger's prime Arsenal averaged 6"7 in height.

Paul Gallagher is still 18 years old and waiting for his chance to break into the Rovers first team.

And Eddie Nolan had a solid Rovers career.

Glasgow Rangers are required to have a player called Ferguson in the match day squad.

Why are Rovers pretty much *never* the Friday night Sky game after a decade in this league and there’s one shown pretty much every week? 🤷‍♂️

Interesting one that.

Since relegation in 2012 I can only remember us being on a Friday night twice on TV. 

Middlesbrough at home in 2012, and Cardiff at home in 2014

There were also a couple of non televised ones against Doncaster away in 2013 and against Rotherham at home in 2015.

He did. I saw it on Bend it like Beckham!!

Fiorentina decided to call it a day as a Football Club and padlocked the gates the morning after Batistuta left the club.

every player before 1992 was a useless clogger,after 1992 footballers became quality players overnight🙂

For a number of years, Big Sam's transfer strategy consisted of loading up Championship Manager and entering the surnames 'Faye' and 'Meite' into the search.

He then signed them at will in real life, based on how impressive their in game stats looked.

Arsenal s invincibles are the best team ever to have won the Premier League.

(No offence Superbrfc, but the sooner domestic footy is back the better!)

Alan Shearer was always 7/1 for first goal scorer at Ewood and I made a fortune for four years.

[Oldgregg86]

Tugay only started smoking so he could sneak off and avoid a souness tackle in training

Fulham and Norwich have never actually played each other. One goes up the other comes down. 

[MarkBRFC]

Gary Monk and Gary Rowett have managed the entire championship between them, or they are indeed the same person.
