Penalties is like tossing a coin always has been always will be.
ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Yep, Chelsea in normal time really should have had both cups wrapped up.
It's a nice habit to have, winning when being utterly crap but it's something they've mastered over the years. I can only remember City beating them on pens in the League Cup a few years back as the only time they've lost a shoot out
Don't be giving them ideas now daza lol

I don’t recall them losing a shoot out in recent memory
I'm sure one of my RS workmates said he saw him on the Kop back in the 60's teaching Dr fun how to do a roundhouse.

How many [important] shootouts have we lost vs how many we've won? How many have they?
See also international footie in this regard: Germany on one side, England on the other.
Winning (or losing) a pen shootout isn't due to chance, it's inarguably due to mentality.
Tinfoil hat time, but is anyone else worried that the refs/league may be engineering a scenario for the RS to win this still?
Seems to be a hell of a lot of effort going on in the media to push this idea of a title playoff...
Needs to be a very specific set of results to happen which would be silly long odds yet it's getting hyped up on sky etc

How many of yous have experienced the reality-shaping power of mentality in your own lives? You've really wanted something, and nothing was gonna stop it. You shaped your own reality by sheer will.
Most times we hope to want something, or wish for something to happen. Often times that's not enough. You have to will it into being.
That's what serial winners do. Even in that GOT TV interview with Carragher:
He was pissed off at seeing the Gerrard slip picture...despite winning all sorts and being a 'boyhood Evertonian'. He even then couldn't accept a singular loss.
And from our perspective: of all people, why did we even interview him in the first place? Did RAWK TV interview Ratcliffe, or Big Nev, at any time?
For a brief time in the 80's we also had this special powerful winning mentality. How do we get it back?

Let's espere le meilleur (Besties) de Paris (Les Garcons en Bleu) utilisay tout their powers a rester les batards rouge in check.. Les Magistrates could be tres tres busy dans les semaines apres la finale a la parque de prance. (Franglais)
They might even make another series of Spiral based on what goes down..

He's lost every final at Wembley, and he's been to like 7.
Let’s be honest here lads, if we were offered the chance to win a cup every year for the next 10 years, but they were won on pens; are you saying it wouldn’t be a real win??

I thought trying to give him the photo of Gerrard slipping, when he's took out his own time to be interviewed by an independent fan site for his "rival" team was pretty embarrassing. The presenter did more harm to himself.

Of course we wouldn’t give a stuff mate, and any blue saying otherwise it’s talking wham, but it does take something away from the “win” - pens are an absolute lottery, and the peds do seem to have some luck when it comes to them.

The Paris police and associate law enforcement people are already on a short fuse following demonstrations after the Macron re-election.
The kopites had better behave, the CRS will be on standby and we've all seen on telly how they get into troublemakers.
If they do run riot and get bashed and gassed, unfortunately it'll only add to the martyr status.
