West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has revealed their designated penalty taker doesn't practice them in training!
Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard: "Here at West Ham, Mark Noble is our designated penalty taker but has never taken one in training to my knowledge.
"His point is that practising penalties has no bearing on what faces him when it's time for the real thing.
"He says that when he's called upon to take the spot-kick, he puts the ball down, stands up, weighs up that particular situation, then decides what he's going to do - and then does it.
"Practising, with no pressure, no crowd, no anything, he contends, is not relevant - in fact, it might make him worse because it might put too many options into his mind."
