Has there ever been a better set of penalties?

Remember it well, Midgetland

You just can't stop penalties like those, the absolute best.
Unless you're caballero, probably the best penalty save I've ever seen v Liverpool at Wembley.

England vs Germany, Euro 96
The first ten were quite special and we had a keeper with a penalty save reputation who never got close to Germany's

Have to say that the four City took were superb
I thought Kun would have just gone down the middle as their keeper was diving so early

Replying to my own post

Ever since we became a good team, I've realised how much of penalty shoot outs is simply having better players.

I think I was brainwashed from all of that England "it's completely random" bollocks.

Totally spot on. I can not stand this horseshit that you cannot recreate penalties and yet amazingly you can recreate free kicks / corners and every other aspect of the game. Yes there is more pressure but that's often when true top quality shines.

Handling the pressure is what top flight football is all about.

when was the last time we had penalties at home ? for the life of me I can't remember, I am sure we have.

Full Member's Cup? There were a couple in the group round.

Last penalties at home I remember clearly was the Blackpool game - Bradbury took possibly the worst penalty ever.
I think we have had at least one other at home since then but can't remember it

We need to thank the Lord that David Silva wasn't chalked up to take one! Jeez, I've still not rinsed that effort of his that struggled to actually reach the goal line. The set of penalties were only any good 'cos Wolves buggered up theirs. I think I can finally lay to rest the fixture when I was about ten years old, on the halfway at The Kippax, ten mins to go, 3-1 up, and we lose 4-3!

I remember it too - do you think the balls returned to earth yet?
