[GrandOldTeam]

We're in a few cup competitions at the minute, if a game ever goes to pens... what players would you like to see take the first five penalties?

Arteta
Johnson
Vaughan/Yakubu
Baines
Cahill

 

[McBain]

We've got decent penalty takers and i have plenty of faith in Howard or Wessells if it came down to a shoot out.

 

[micknick]

Arteta
Gravesen
Yakubu
Cahill
Stubbs
Vaughan

Stubbs
Yakubu
Arteta

Baines (On the basis of Unsworth and Ball being great penalty takers).

Bruce clearly wins.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I had a 100% penalty kick record as a youth. Clearly an expert.

 

[Dylan]

How many did you take? 2? against your cat?

Clearly manipulationg stats to make you seem ace. I know how it goes.

 

[chicoazul]

I missed a penalty that put my team out of the quarters.

Im still haunted by it.

One of my mates had his boot come off as he took his kick ... the ball bobbled along barely hard enough to reach the goal ... luckily for us, the 'keeper had flung himself to his right to save my mate's boot! The look of confusion on the keeper's face as he lay there staring at this boot in his hands, whilst the ball rolled over the line and stopped about 2 feet behind where he'd just been standing was priceless.



I like the look of Danny's list. Bruce's is good, too, but I would trust AJ in future. [Poor language removed] like that makes you stronger.
