TBF it's a symptom of the PL "survival" mentality, once a club is safe, I think they just aren't bothered about a couple of extra points anymore. It's obvious from some of the performances that a of players are now on holiday.agreed, could be similar with us mind also but still in the supposed 'worlds best league' should be competitive to the very end....
Well including yesterday we had a run of 4 games against clubs with zero to play for in terms of relegation/Europe/title so we should be laughing given all these comments about teams on the beach....... Or does this only apply to teams who are playing the mags?TBF it's a symptom of the PL "survival" mentality, once a club is safe, I think they just aren't bothered about a couple of extra points anymore.

A player can take a tame shot on target that makes it easier for the keeper.
Robbie fowler did it against arsenal.
Wickham took one earlier in the season I recall. And based on yesterday's penalty, I'm gonna say that no, no he isn't.

Not sure why you've mentioned Arsenal.
That's what I thought when I looked at the pictures on that other thread. He has his left foot well over the line and is 3-4 yards out of his goal when he saved it.Keeper was miles off his line aswell
Cabaye did not telegraph his at all and if anything it's a very similar strike to Defoe's if you look at them side by side a few times.Defoe waited till the keeper moved, Cabaye telegraphed his.
Defoe is just saying that like many footballers say stuff that isn't quite true. The keeper has barely moved when Defoe plants his left foot to swing his right forward to smack it it plus Defoe is obviously looking at the ball by now. I can't gif it but I've got MOTD recorded and you can see this quite clearly on the TV replay from behind the goal by Defoe's body shape and swing to hit the ball.You're the idiot, Defoe has already said he seen the keeper go early so he went the other way.
Another myth purported by some on here as I slowed down both pennas from real time to see which was faster and there's little difference, if any. Obviously ignoring it being a goal but Defoe's was 'worse' as it was nearer the centre than Cabaye's so probably more chance of being saved.How was Defoes worse? At least Defoe blasted it with power, Cabayes was like a back pass to the goalie.
I won't quote all your posts but if you think that it's possible Cabaye fluffed it on purpose (which aye is a possibility but I don't think he did) then I suppose Defoe could have potentially tried to fluff his penna also seeing as it was virtually the same kick, albeit it slightly closer to the keeper's starting position.So you think it's inconceivable that he fluffed it on purpose?
He's not well off his line, it just looks like he is but aye he is off his line. It's his left foot that is barely a yard over the line with his arms out in front whereas his body is nearer the line with his right foot behind the line. He just dives out at an angle so looks to be further off his line when he eventually saves it. If the Stoke keeper had done this and Defoe scored but then it was asked to be retaken and saved then there would be hell onDarlow's well off his line. The ball actually looks to be heading more towards the corner but Darlow came out and narrowed the angle. Should have been re taken.
We are 'arguing' as people are saying stuff like you just did that isn't quite true and others are making out Cabaye telegraphed his shot and tapped it at Darlow Darlow does move before Cabaye hit it and slightly before the Stoke keeper did if you compare the 2 side by side and watch the shooters left foot planting. Cabaye is looking at the ball on his run up so doesn't see Darlow at all and although not clear in this gif, in some other angles you also see Defoe looking at the ball as he goes to hit it.Defoe saw the keeper move so just blasted it down the middle. It was a cleverer penalty than Cabayes who just hit it to one side of the keeper before he moved and it was easily saved.
Why are we arguing about this anyway? Who gives a toss?
