In episode nine of Football Firsts, Troy and Jermain discuss the first time they missed a sitter in a game, and what it feels like when it happens.

Troy talks about how the bad ones stick with him: one against Spurs stands out, as does a contentious effort against Crystal Palace, whilst for Jermain it's a miss against Manchester City. They talk about some of the classic misses in football history - sorry Fernando Torres and Ronnie Rosenthal. And how the crowd react when you spoon one past the post when it was easier to score.

And they chat about penalty misses, what happens when analysts get involved, and whether they give stick to teammates who can't score.
