Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

I am not belittling penalties, but it is luck of the draw if you happen to be the teams penalty taker. Someone else in the team could be equally good, but doesn't get the chance.
Take the golden boot scenario. Player A scores 22 goals from open play, but the team get 10 pens taken by the Captain, a mid fielder. Player B scores 23 goals, 15 from open play, 8 from pens. To me, player A should get the golden boot. He is by far the better striker.

Joe Gomez being jeered by a section of the England fans, weird bunch 😁

Yeah but they pay their dues so they are permitted to jeer if they want to. 😗😜

Didn’t you say the Arsenal fans shouldn’t boo Xhaka ?
Gomez and Sterling’s spat had nothing to do with England.
But your right they pay their money.

Robbie Fowler no2 after Micheal Branch 😂

Nar, Fowler was before Owen.

Not sure of the order, but think the next 3 Michael Owens' were Cadamateri, Michael Branch and Jeffers, then the epithet fell out of use........
