  1. I think the conclusion of this poll is that there are still a lot of embittered haters on this board.

    really? I thought it was that Mark Noble is the best penalty taker currently in the premier, and that Le Tissier was the best in it's history.
    but I guess whiners gonna whine, and you lot are becoming more like Liverpool every day.

    Noble hasn't been tested at international or full European level, though. A substantial part of his record is from the Championship, too.
    Probably not worth considering him.

    a substantial part of his record is in the championship? 3 years out of 16? And you're saying that the goal-keepers of Bulgaria, Panama & Czech republic are top quality? They're probably not even championship standard. Would you be happy to see any of them replace Lloris? or even back-up? I doubt it.

    Ern you mustn’t argue against Hiag or any of his fanboys as it upsets them so.

    Please don’t quote any facts to support your argument as you will then be called “rattled”

    You know how it goes, Slurpcock will be along in a minute to bail Hiag out once PNP can’t defend him anymore

    7 of his 36 successful penalties were in the Championship. That's nearly 20% of them. It's substantial.
    If you're going to talk about international players not being up to standard, then you'll have to eliminate a number of Noble's, too.

    Henry scored 23 out of 25
    Lamps 43 out of 50

    Similar to Kane's success rate

    How come Kane has taken so many pens in such a short space of time?

  12. Because defenders fear him, so they take him out.

    Incorrect, Everyone is fed up of you overrating Spurs, Even though your best achievement was finishing 3rd in a 2 horse-race in 2016.

    Because spurs never get pens. You know cos the refs and media don't like them.

    Lolz

    Since when has rimming meant stating facts?

  18. @Big Ern you aren’t seriously trying to suggest that Noble is a better penalty taker than Kane?

    I don’t care what stats you pull out of the hat, the two aren’t comparable.

    you're right in the second part, Noble is far better at it.

    I'm not Noble's greatest fan, in fact I can't stand the ratty little **** but it stands to reason that as a fan you would prefer a more reliable pen taker stepping up to the spot. You don't get any extra points for style.
