Re: Agueros penalty
Bloody Aguero messing up my fantasy points by missing that pen, grrr.

I don't understand the logic of those who have said because he saved it, it is an own goal. That's even more reason why it should be Aguero's goal as if he hadn't saved it initially, the shot wouldn't have been on target.
Regardless, the precedent has been set that it will count as Aguero's goal.
Richards header v Arsenal in 2009 hit the post, hit Almunia and went in. - Here you see the shot wasn't even on target but it counted as a Richards goal.
This season, yaya's free-kick v hull was discussed by the panel and given to yaya. Though, I don't see how this ever was up for debate.

Previously Sergio has missed exactly how many penalties for City?
That is results orientated thinking and it doesn't always work. Just because he's not missed one yet doesn't mean he's a good penalty taker and personally his technique doesn't fill me with confidence.
I'm With Stupid said:I can see the argument for it being Aguero's goal. If he'd hit the post straight away and it went in off Howard's back, then it'd obviously be an own goal. But it was going in, and Howard failed to save it properly.
Anyway, I don't see how it's that difficult for any half-decent player to be able to practice penalties to the point that they can score every time, like Mario or Van Nistelrooy used to. Look at the results of a summer practising free kicks for Toure.

But how about the goal from Dzeko last season against Norwich? The keeper saved it but the ball got in anyway. But was counted as an OG
