I've got one - why does the keeper have 4 eyes?

The question arises, why wouldn't we - like many good teams - have a chat to an experienced CB like Dura that there is no other option but for him to take it on. The buck stops here. 

Strikers (or attacking midfielders) have so many different shooting scenarios in their heads that it can mess up the simplest one of all. Defenders can be more reliable in that situation.

I recall a great Polish player of 70-80 era, Wladyslaw Zmuda, participant in four WC finals for Poland. He was famous for not having ever missed a penalty in official games. He always, predictably, placed the ball in the bottom left corner, with little but sufficient force but with impeccable accuracy. Every keeper he faced knew where the ball was going  to go before it was kicked, and they still could not stop it.

I think we are aiming at the wrong part of the goal.

Did you know that "feng shui" literally means "wind and water"?

"We've got the feng shui and the Phoenix..."

"Phoenix till they lose"

No it doesn't.

It means "wind-water"

Which literally means those farts that spray diarrohea  when you've drank heavily on an empty stomach.

The farts that cause great sadness.

Not unlike our penalties but nothing to do with the weather.

I'd at least like to see a "conversion rate" league table for our penalty takers. I have a feeling that Iffy and KFCarlos would be far ahead of anyone else.

Apart from the two misses this season and the Dadi episode are there any others?

Are you taking the piss?

In all languages there are often two meanings:

1. Literal

2. Derived

There are more number ones than number twos...

Although I did take a wee liberty by including the conjunction in "wind and water" which you did pick up on.  Man you're sharp.

Best penalty I've ever seen converted in a Nix shirt was Vukovic against the Fairies.

Nice symmetry of that dadi goal - 2-0 down to perth with a penalty, thankfully roy converted.

Quite interesting that Brockie didn't take it. And Burns still not up for it either
