We use the term "run-up" loosely.
With Bristol City leading Yeovil by a single goal just after the hour mark on Boxing St.Stephen's Day, they were handed a chance to double their lead from the spot. Former Arsenal prospect Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was very eager to show everyone just how calm he felt as he trotted along for an agonisingly slow run-up before rolling the ball past the bewildered keeper.
Comparisons can instantly be drawn to Paul Pogba's incredibly laid-back style of penalty taking, which he decided to exhibit in a penalty shootout at the end of the Italian Supercup. A bit higher stakes than a League One Christmas fixture, granted.
