The Europa League Final: Villareal's Flawless Penalties

Joe returns! Accompanied by Seb, just Seb, there's a heated debate about the Europa League Final: what exactly was Solskjaer thinking about with his subs? Was he right? And why do we care so much? All of that lead to what might be the most epic penalty shootout? (we did have a vague memory of a better one but we couldn't remember enough about it to actually bring it up). Villareal's penalties, in particular, seemed to defy the laws of pressure. Things were rounded off nicely with some (perversely) fond memories of the European Super League and a few thoughts about Pochettino's unexpected approach from Spurs.
