Yesterday I could see like 10 seconds (or something like that) before Yaya started moving towards the goal that we were gonna score or at least have a really good crack at goal. Sometimes I get that, don't know why or or how though. I had a mate though who was REALLY good at seeing when there was gonna be a goal or a decent goal chance. Like 1 out of 2 times. I asked him what it was that he saw and he said something like "I don't know, it's something about how the ball is moving and how the players are placed." Thanks....

So my question is, does anyone out there have this ability and what is it that makes you sense it?

Normally the opposition, like last nights when we stood off their attack in the build up to their goal.

I certainly sensed it the first time we won the league, after qpr were confirmed safe, they shrank back into a shell and you could see they weren't concentrating on seeing the game out and gaps were appearing all over the place. They completely fell apart and a goal from us was a matter of when, not if

I sensed it when Yaya was 4 yards out, unmarked, meeting a perfect cross with his head.

But...........................

To be fair you often get that feeling with Yaya because of what his has done in the past. So you never know.

I sensed two for Aguero last night but he dragged them both wide.

Apparently throughout the game Yaya rubs the pointy parts of his ears. If they feel chilly, he knows that it's time to strike. An ancient Ivorian hunting trick.

Ah so that's why there's no pointy parts left on his ears, he's worn them down.

I always sense a goal when I see the ball going over the line

Mystic Dub.

It's not often that I sense we are gonna score but I do very often sense a goal coming whenever our opponents are over the half way line.

I sense a goal (against) when certain officials are named before the match.

I think if your paying attention your brain just skips ahead and anticipates what is about to happen by making a few assumptions and probably also adding in goals you've seen before. Brains love patterns.

I was off my chair cheering as the ball landed on his head. Like Antoine SibiFuckingerski

I only ever seem to correctly see them coming form the opposition. I must notice a soft defense with dread more intently than I grasp what will come
At the end of one of silky moves.

Sometimes I do but I can't really explain it. It's just the feel when you're intently watching how the players and the ball's being positioned as well as the general atmosphere during the game.

You're an odd one 88. OD and Jim may or may not have Sussed you. Do you have Asperger's syndrome? I ask because some of your recent posts are so dull and you seem to be a literalist.

My guess from the language and Irish grand master in the username is a reincarnation of mikhael Chigorin. The rag bit is to put folk off the scent I reckon

Nope, but he sure lost his.

Remember the Aguero QPR goal? All 50,000 fans saw that goal coming in the final moments, 2 times with every fan shouting "go on........GO ONNN........YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Everyone could see the chance developing my the mini-second.

Received the ball & controlled in threatening position "go on"
Stays on his feet when dirty fucker tried to bring him down, free on goal, 6 yards out "go on"
Anyone not stood up in the crowd, is now stood up
Pulls the trigger - Glory
