We're going to get a penalty today.

There's more chance of me flying Concorde to the moon blindfolded.

Lets pray you are right WMC-as its well overdue. You are being presumptive that (a) we will get in the box and (b) we exercise a degree of pace (c) the ref actually gives it. What's the chances of two !!!

None but I reckon Keane's going to randomly pick the ball up in his own box just to help us out a little because he's probably ****** off too.

When we are 4 goals down and in the 94th minute.

I've been saying it will be Huddersfield away. The scene of our most obvious penalty.

BTW i don't agree with all this "we don't get in the penalty area enough" stuff. We had a strong claim waved away last weekend and the teams round us have all had penalties. They can't be spending significantly more time in the opponent area than us.

[beddie]

Fingers crossed. To be honest im not that bothered as long as we win.

The ref would say ball to hand, no pen.

Well name the shouts?

Last week was probably the closest to being a definite and even that was said not to be by pundits.

Pundits usually side with the big boys so they don't offend them, bit like many of the officials and their one side decisions! Ignore what pundits say

So just recently beside the two handed push on, was it Tarks, Bardsley nearly getting his head kicked off

Looking at penalty stats is interesting.

The 2017/18 season had the lowest number of penalties (80) since 2005/06 (73) split 51 home and 29 away. Crystal Palace got 10!

Seven teams got 3 penalties which includes Man Utd, Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool. Three teams only got 1.

29 away penalties is the lowest by some distance for 8 seasons.

Either teams are not committing to tackles or refs are looking to not give as many.

Statistically we are not a long way behind the other teams.

Maybe penalties are like buses. Once we get one, another will follow.

[Claretlad]

Not if a referee has anything to do with it..

But penalties are only given in the penalty area.

[dougcollins]

Aye , swings and roundabouts, you win some you lose some.

Not a chance.

[The Enclosure]

Thank God.

[expoultryboy]

Who actually is our penalty taker ? Is it still Graham Alexander .

[TheFamilyCat]

There's more chance of me flying Concorde to the moon blindfolded.

There's more chance of you flying Concorde to the moon blindfolded while there's a drone in the vicinity.

I think you were being a bit optimistic.

[Clarethalffull]

What is this 'penalty' that you speak of?

[tim_noone]

I'm with the op.... If we get one we will probably miss that said what a celebration could be had in the stands on getting one!!

[Safron]

There's more chance of me shitting in the queen's handbag than us getting a penalty

[beddie]

WestMidsClaret has just realised he made an error n the subject line, the opening word of We're was supposed to start with "They're"
