The Puffy Coat rule
A unwritten yet indisputable rule within professional football: When the manager of a professional football team wears a puffy coat to the game his team will lose.
In an instance where the manager of both teams wears a puffy coat those teams shall draw but with notably bad defending from both sides to prevent supporters being satisfied with the point.
Only Arsene Wenger is able to defy the puffy coat rule. His Arsenal side defeating the widely accepted 'best team in the world' Barcelona 2-1 despite their manager sporting the oversized coat.
