Things must have changed. Nobody is even mentioning the deadline day.

[Pat Vegas]

f**king Wenger messing around doing his deals early.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Our 'keepers are tiny.

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It's a crock. There are midfielders and there are midfielders. Sometimes midfielders defend, sometimes they attack.

A defensive midfielder is a defender.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Would you be kind enough to piss all over them when I return?

[Peter]

And he still exists :-)

[Luis Anaconda]

Pretty much proves my argument about it's a good pen if it goes in is wrong. That was a shocker

[Luis Anaconda]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

can tackle. We need one of those

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Hit the ball that hard, keep it down, and chances are it will go in.

The big lad managed it. :-) gets worse every time i see it.

Still convinced he got a tpuch on the ball and it wasnt a penalty.

[Ben.]

which is why he stayed central but was caught out by the pace of it.
I don't think it was a particularly bad penalty tbh, it was made to look it by Guzan taking the gamble and staying but 9/10 the keeper dives and everyone says "good penalty".

[Ashberto]

Sort it ahhgght Gazidis!

[Pokster]

and there is no difference between a BFG and an Ashley Cole

[Ben.]

but I definitely think that is what Guzan was waiting for, hence being unprepared for the pace of it.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Oh.

[Pokster]

[Peter]

[Ben.]

9/10 it would have been fine.

[Supermac1976]

:hehe:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Good penalty.

[Luis Anaconda]

I love Santi

[Luis Anaconda]

9 sixes of the last 14 balls he faced :yikes:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Then I considered how that bugle, on the face of a normal-sized human being, would be perfectly in proportion.

Santi is a midget with a normal's nose on :-(

[Peter]

Either way, a penalty that relies on the movement of the keepr is risky. You have four corners of the goal to aim at and a lifetime to rehearse the exact scenario.

By the way, a keeper not guessing is really not that unusual.

[Ben.]

pity he was so abject in Sri Lanka or he'd at least be in the squad.

[Mc Gooner]

[Ben.]

It's good to hit it down the middle now and then , it basically gives the keeper a one in three chance as opposed to a one in two.
I also maintain that a goalkeeper not diving for a penalty is "unusual" , I can hardly even remember seeing it.

[Peter]

When he dives the right way, dont assume he guessed.

Risky is not necessarily bad. Cazorla's penalty was, however, bad.
