What is the best goal you have ever seen your side score? who against? and why?


Mine would have to be Paul Merson's last minute winner from the half way line against Everton a few years ago. The game was poor all through up to that moment. He quoted 'I saw the keeper off his line all through the game, i was waitin for the right time to get some space and have a crack'

The goal still means alot as Paul is my idol - the best creative midfielder to ever put on the Claret & Blue shirt - cried my eyes out when he left lol.

Theres a few more goals i remember that really stick out

Stan Collymore - against Athletico Madrid in the Uefa Cup

Beni Carbone - against Leeds in the quarter final of FA Cup

Dion Dublin - against Bolton @ Wembley sendin us to the FA Cup final from the spot after comin back from a broken neck (Legend)

Alan Thompson - against Sheffield Wednesday

Savo Milosovic - against Leeds in the Coca Cola cup final @ Wembley

Tommy Hizlesperger - last minute winner against Bolton @ the Reebok

Tommy Hizlesperger - against BirMINGham

Kevin Phillips - against BirMINGham

Lee Hendrie - equalizer against Palace @ Villa Park

Theres so many to mention lol

Good thread.

1, Thierry Henry ~ 1-0 win against Man Utd. Edge of the area, back to goal, Flicks it up and Boom Boom.

2, Robert Pires ~ 6-1 win aganist Southampton the first game of our 49 game unbeaten run. A dink over the Southampton Right back see Niemi off his line and from edge of the area. Boom Boom.

3, Thierry Henry ~ 2-0 win against the Spuds. Henry picks the ball up just outside his penalty area from a Spuds corner. One look up and Henry is gone beating about 3 defender's untill he meets a strong Spuds defence. Henry comes inside and with the inside of the boot pass's the ball past the Spuds goalkeeper.

Their is also a few other but those three do it for me.

I knew there would be atleast one person who caught onto that. I think Bergy is a god but the three goals abover were amazing. Bergy would have been 4th and 5th with the goal aganist Newcastle being forth which made that greek defender (i forget his name) look like a giant Greek defender

And the 4rd goal against Leicister at Filbert street (i was there) with the dink over the defender and the blast into the net being 5th on my list.
