ABBA penalty shoot outs in League Cup

Post by ClaretTony » Mon Jul 31, 2017 6:50 pm

Any League Cup ties going to pens this season will see use of the ABBA shoot out system.

This will mean either:

1. ABBA will perform live throughout the shoot out
or
2. The order of pens taken will be Team A - Team B - Team B - Team A - Team A - Team B etc. etc.

West Ham are in favour of this method.

Why shouldn't they be...the whole idea was created and suggested by their new signing and former Man Utd super sub, Chiquitita Hernandez, whilst out with his best mate, Fernando.
