The Gods of Football are tired!

Well, another round of the Champions League has passed, and Arsenal are the team that most are surprised to see being knocked out. It does raise one question though. How exactly the Gods of football work? It was the most predictable occurence in the world that once Brazilian defender Alex, having scored an own goal, would then head up the end of the pitch and head one in at other end of the pitch.
'Oh, from villain to hero in minutes' says the commentator.
I'm not claiming to be some kind of a soothsayer, but I did actually say exactly that before the free kick he scored was taken. 'Bet Alex gets his head on this'. Its not even unusual, I can remember five or siz instances of it, off the top of my head. I think Niall Quinn did something ridiculous like score at each end and save a penatly at one point in his career, i'm sure he's alone on that stat!
Football's gods are a predictable bunch. Actually it rarely has more surprises than the wrestling, If a player leaves a club, especially when there is some bad circumstances over his departure, he will then score every time he plays that team from then on! This is the one fundamental rule.
If a teenager makes his debut, he'll always score the winner, even if it goes in off his butt or arm, with him having absolutely no knowledge of the event. The same thing stands for an expensive import on their debut, but if they do happen not to score, they'll then go on a 15 game streak where they won't score.
I guess the script writers need to work 'outside the box' so to speak. It really is becoming far too predictable...
