Almunia in the NLD many moons ago was memorable and I remember Cech saving one off Deeney in the season he said we lacked cojones which was funny karma. Can’t remember if Leno ever saved one.

Jens had a couple of memorable saves though, always felt confident with him as mad as he was.

But yeah the pressure is on the taker anyway. All a keeper can do is guess and hope for the best.
Seems you've forgotten we had Fabianski and Martinez on our books... Fabianski got us to an FA cup final through his heroics in a shootout while Martinez got us beating Bayern (preseason cup) and Liverpool in a league cuo match...I mean the thing I've noticed is our keepers who are good at penalties always end up being 2nd or 3rd choice for some reason, in fact I wouldn't have been surprised if the American guy had come in and saved the day on Thursday...thats just some funny Arsenal curse.
