Premier League 2011/12 Season

Aye, emotion & belief are essentially what O'Neil trades on. Not the most refined fuel to run on but it can get you there if there's enough of it. It was fair oozing out the ground from the moment he showed up here:Thumbs: Coz baby I was made for you, and you was made for me

 

Speak of the devil, they've voted Rooneys overhead kick against City last season as the best goal in Premier League history. Ridiculous. :doh:

 

You made a nice analogy recently about Liverpool being high spec machinery slightly out of alignment - that definitely applies to arsenal earlier in the season. One or two more tweeks and they're champs

 

Better goals than Rooneys off the top of my head -

Cisse's last night

Henry v Man Utd and Liverpool

Cantona v Sunderland

Shearer v Chelsea and Leicester

Ronaldo v Portsmouth

They mentioned Bergkamp v Newcastle as 2nd best but I'm sure that was an FA Cup game :dunno:

Rooney himself scored a better goal v Newcastle

 

These lists are always poo. always on a sliding scale based on how recently it was

 

The thing is Arsenal have always been a couple of players away from being champs. Get a Yaya Toure and a solid centre back and they're sorted. Wenger is ridiculously stubborn for some reason.

 

Bergkamp at St James was the best goal Ive ever seen

 

Yeah, this is true. I kinda admire it in a way. Like the Frenchman in the Dylan Moran sketch eating chocolate for breakfast and slashing yesterdays paintings. Strolling around decadently in only a linen shirt with no underpants.

 

Might well be mine too, between that and Sinclair vs Barnsley for me. Still, I'm pretty sure both goals were FA Cup? Well I know Sinclairs was.

 

Obviously Giggs v Arsenal too if we include FA Cup. Asprilla scored some sexy bangers too

 

That Bergkamp goal vs Newcastle was in the league.

 

Yeboah's goal against Liverpool.

 

No way that Rooney goal is top. Was this poll completed by "United fans" who have only followed them this season... :wack:

:bears:

Never gets old. Thats what sets that goal apart from me - it doesn't have the HOLY SHIT Yeboah/over head kick factor, but it's one that gets better each of the first 10 times you see it then just never gets old.

 

If Bergkamps goal was in the league then yes, absolutely that's the best. Rooneys doesn't come close.

Great shout on Yeboah though Jimmy, he scored two all timers within the space of a week. Says something about the quality of a goal that whenever somebody rattles one in off the crossbar from long range afterwards it's referred to as "scoring a Yeboah" :bears:

 

If Yeboah kicked the coast of Somalia 20 years later we'd be living in Pangaea again

 

'Pretty Boy' Mat Le Tissier has to get a mention. If you picked 10, 4 or 5 would be his.

 

:laughing:

The boy could whack 'em, that's for sure

 

the one against wimbledon. Yep, another splendid goal :bears:

One of my personal favs is fowler's goal against villa, where he leaves staunton for dead after some fine individual skill. Some great one touch passing up to that too....

The goal against Newcastle stands out though

Jeez. Sorry Feebs, that's three all time Premier League goals we've mentioned that have been scored against your boys ::

 

Le Tiss was the king of great great goals

 

I hate to give credit to a Chelsea player but Zola scored some nice ones

this is just a beautiful goal.

 

FA Cup though, wasn't it?

 

:doh:

 

What are you the FA cup police ::

 

Arsenal are clearly far closer to the finished article bar an ability to hold a thin line when they need it most. Liverpool are like the Red Army, they have the ability to lose millions of men in an abandoned swamp in Finland, but do great things against the tallest of odds and in the harshest of circumstances. They should probably sit down together and do group therapy, see if they can help each other out.

 

David Bentley's two touch, 40 yard lob against Arsenal was mad.
