We've won more than we have lost recently

Under Pep we’ve won 6 out of 8 penalty shootouts. We’re surprisingly good at them

Highlight for me - seeing Jack engage so much with the blind girl on the stage. Pep and Kyle did as well - camera cut away from a lot of it. Some didn’t but genuinely heart-warming to see the “football family” It takes a second but lasts a lifetime - good lad is our Jack

I picked up on it too:)

Miles of last season performances but early days yet & a wins a win i suppose.
Was saying before the penalty shootout that i cant remember seeing Ederson save a penalty.

Play poorly yet still bringing home the pot. Sign of true champions

i think i read somewhere those are new prem rules, not universal.

Oh right, I was watching that women's world cup semi-final this morning and they seemed to but under these same new rules. I always thought that one of the features of football that makes it so popular is that all around the world, we play the same game.

I remember years ago in the USA they wanted to have a dribble off* if a game ended in a draw (they don't like sports that finish level in the US) but it was knocked back as it would make their game different to everyone else.

*Player starts from centre spot 1-on-1 vs. keeper and has 30 seconds to advance and score.... mad I know, but an alternative to a pen shootout with more skill required.

Every other team in the world is now singing this song:

~So you win again, you win again
Here I stand again, the loser
And just for fun, you took my love and run
Love had just begun
I can't refuse her
But now I know, that I'm the fool
Who won your love, to lose it all
When you come back, you win again
When will my heartache end?
Will my whole life depend
On fading memories?
You took the game this time with ease~

Well it did start going through my head at the end of the game. :-)

I don’t know about every other team, you’ve got me singing it now:)

Great to win another trophy lads.

I’m glad Cole ship up some of the whingers on social media and Kyle showed top leadership

Why has Lescott come as Mr Myagi?
