When you’re running, heading, tackling and working muscles at full intensity for 90 minutes every week, for 10 months straight (barring injury), you’ll inevitably be working with knocks on you.
It’s even worse with the players at the top level, who will regularly play 50 club games a season before going on to play more games for country and having a short summer break before starting the grind in a month
The banana shot goal is legendary. So legendary that we always overlook the first one he scored, which was very similar to Henry’s volley vs United
I’ve seen a lot of United fans back Ole’s time as manager and it’s surprised me (but not in a bad way). As an outside rival fan I always saw it as a mess, and I never appreciated that United’s 20/21 season under Ole was mad fun. A lot of comebacks, Bruno on fire, a very talented attack and a hopeful title and European run
This is a pretty random one: Leicester 4-2 Man City. Leicester not so much defending their title as fighting relegation while everyone was doubting Guardiola with his relatively hodge-podge City team.
Personally, I’d just finished A’Levels and was up late gaming that Saturday night. I didn’t even know the game was happening but decided to tune in to whatever random game was happening. Turns out it was this one. Stopped my game and thought “Interesting teams, this could be fun”
Oh boy it was. Leicester 2-0 up inside 5 minutes, Andy King with a wonderful goal. At HT it’s 3-0. Vardy ends up with a hat-trick (third goal was tight on the goal line). Man City pulled two goals back at 4-0 down. I’m checking the game history now and see Kolarov scored too, so it was probably a free kick.
Not the biggest game by any means, but a nice late-night surprise.
Enzo? He seems like different gravy, though I’ve only seen a few highlights
