Darren Ferguson being brought up in the Prem thread made me remember the time his dad recalled three of the loanees he'd sent to Preston, hours after the news broke that they'd sacked his useless son

When you remember a funny football thing that happened, post it in here. Maybe you're in the supermarket buying a cabbage and you remember Steve Bruce getting a cabbage thrown at him, and this world class quote:

quote:

“It was really heavy. When it hit the floor you felt the thud. Had it hit him on the head, or me on the head, it would have done some damage.

“It was as heavy as a house brick - it was a big one!”

Every time I see someone pulled over in their car I think of the time that M’baye Niang got stopped by the cops in Milano while driving without a license, and he pretended to be his teammate Bakaye Traore to try to get out of it. It didn’t work.

This is a very good thread idea, op.

Part of the reason I love this dumb sport is the insanely bad decisions made by virtually everyone involved so a partial list off the top of my head:
  • Santiago Cañizares dropping a bottle of aftershave on his foot, severing a tendon and forcing him to miss the Spanish WC squad
  • Joe Cole getting caught shagging someone’s gf and having to jump out a window without his trainers and probably most of his clothes
  • Joe Cole being referred to by Steven Gerrard as “technically as good as Messi”
  • Ashley Cole writing in his biography about shouting on the phone to his agent about the wages Arsenal had proposed in a contract renewal
  • Jermaine Pennant being quite thick and leaving a Porsche 911 forever at a Spanish airport
  • Mes Que Un Club fans throwing a pig’s head at Figo taking a corner upon his return to the Nou Camp
  • Stephen Ireland’s dead gran
  • Stephen Ireland’s Range Rover wheels
  • AdL going on an epic rant then hopping on the back of a scooter https://youtu.be/SuUKUDBxZtc
  • John Terry slipping in CL final penalty shootout, crying in the rain
  • John Terry, unable to play in CL title but wore his kit underneath his clothes, which he wore in photos when they won it
  • John Terry and his transvestite”doppelgänger”
  • John Terry getting knocked the gently caress out trying to head a low bouncing ball like a salmon swimming upstream then getting kicked very hard
  • Jozy Altitore playing in England
  • Everything about Brazil losing to Germany at the WC in their country, but especially the over-the-top tribute to Neymar who hadn’t actually died (unfortunately) but missed out due to a back injury
  • de Gea missing out on a transfer to Madrid due to fax machine problems
  • purple dildo in the ear on transfer day
  • Arsene Wenger’s battles with his mortal enemy, his jacket zipper
  • Newcastle fan punching a police horse
  • Mascherano and Tevez transfer to West Ham, bought by Icelandic bankers, which collapsed miserably during Financial Crisis
  • Tevez living in England for 10+ years and never learned English
  • Pochettino as Southampton manager pretending he didn’t speak English so he wouldn’t have to deal with the press as much
  • A smiling Glen Johnson popping out through a banner and Luis Suarez t-shirts the whole Liverpool team wore
  • Good Lad Peter Crouch when asked in an interview what he would be if he wasn’t a footballer, responding “a virgin”
  • Peter Crouch tweets about spending time with family and responding to a guy wanking to his wife https://twitter.com/petercrouch/status/876846713163718656?s=21
  • Ed Woodward, Transfer Genius
  • Arjen Robben doing the same loving move for 20+ years and everyone knew what it was yet no defender was ever able to really stop it
  • Robinho thinking he had transferred to Chelsea when he was in fact at City
  • Drip Doctors
  • Adebayor sliding across the pitch vs Arsenal, crowd loses their mind
  • Andy Carroll’s transfer to Liverpool
  • Andy Carroll’s MySpace page
  • Andy Carroll injuring himself yet again by falling off a barstool
  • Arsene Wenger’s Suarez bid

I’m sure I can recall loads more since my brain exclusively holds useless info like this instead of my children’s birthdays.

I can't remember when or where it happened (Anfield?) but there was a time when some player went flying over the ad hoarding into the front row, and an old man sitting there just has a pleasant chuckle and pulls out his camera to snap some photos of the player lying there. That always makes me lol.

- Fat Sam and his pint of wine

Galatasaray drove a tractor all over their half of the pitch before an abandoned CL match against Juve was resumed, which made it impossible for Juve to actually attack at all, and Juve ended up getting knocked out of the CL as a result. Which was NOT FUNNY!!! at the time but now is because lol Conte.

Security thought he was starting a pitch invasion and rushed over to fight him off
