Bergkamp was overrated or "WUM 101"

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Yes, clearly a fluke... :roll:

Look at the technique and movement: he spins off simultaneously with the ball, in other words, he knew exactly what he was doing and recognized where the ball would end up.

You know you're dealing with a genius when some people can't even comprehend the notion.

Yes.

The most elegant/sophisticated goal I've ever seen: his body posture/technique is aesthetically flawless - it literally is art of the highest order.

Absolutely. I honestly rate it as the greatest goal ever scored. Flawless. Genius. Magical. 8)

I too have just watched that clip over and over. I keep looking for any point in it where you could say "that bit was a lucky bounce/touch" or "that bit was flukey" and I can't find it. There is no point where he looks like he is scrambling to catch up with a lucky touch, his motion is so intentional. His movement, the pivot, spinning the defender, the flick of the foot at precicely the same moment he turns. 100% intended. 100% genius. 8) 8) 8)
