So yesterday I thought it’d be fun to do a deep dive into that Norwich vs Southampton match everyone’s talking about. Started by grabbing my laptop and opening a spreadsheet – old habits die hard, right? Wanted to track key moments quarter by quarter.
First I watched the entire match replay on telly with my notebook. Paused every time something interesting happened – fouls, shots, those sketchy referee calls. Had to keep rewinding when my cat jumped on the remote. Wrote down stuff like:
- Norwich’s stupid penalty miss in 24th minute
- That dodgy offside call against Southampton before half
- How both keepers were basically statues during set pieces
Then came the annoying part – finding those damn stats websites. Seriously, why do they all look like they were designed in 1999? Finally got the possession percentages and shot counts after clicking through twelve pop-up ads. Made me want to throw my biscuit at the screen.
Put everything together around midnight while eating cold pizza. Noticed something funny – both teams had almost identical:
- Shots on target (5 vs 4)
- Yellow cards (3 each)
- Even the bloody corner kicks (6-5)
Honestly? Whole thing felt like watching two bald men fighting over a comb. Waste of ninety minutes for everyone involved. Might do Championship matches again but only if they promise more goals next time. Or at least a proper brawl.
