I've read this many times trying to work out if there's any kind of logic involved. Still can't see it though. Reminds me of the Conference days when Rob Duffy scored 18 league goals in one season, but 7 of them were penalties so some commentators on here decided he wasn't a 'proper' goal scorer.
You’ve heard of Acerbi but not Jorginho?!
Yeah I looked into this when Foley pointed it out. I'm not sure how it happened - I don't really watch Premier League football anymore so he's kind of passed me by.
England top penalty takers to date.
Really interesting.
Does this suggest that the frequency that penalties are given has increased in the modern game?

I actually dislike penalties being given in open play, though penalty shootouts are great fun. The punishment is out of proportion with the offence committed, especially now that they're given for offences that are invisible to the naked eye.
Far fewer games than Rooney, but both obviously playing far more per season than in t'olden days..
I don't think goals from within the six-yard box really count either, that's just goal hanging and would get you a beating when I was at school. Only goals from open play and outside the six-yard box please. That'll separate the wheat from the chaff.
The cat did exist though, that wasn't in doubt. Wasn't it more that it was both alive and dead at the same time?
Not sure about that (appropriately enough). This was always a 'thought experiment', the usually unimpeachably accurate Wikipedia does not mention whether Schrödinger ever actually had a cat.
I've seen links that suggest he did have a cat called 'Milton'. But I guess until we actually observe said cat it will be in a state of both 'being owned' and 'not being owned'.
That's quantum football for you!
