Bergkamp was overrated or "WUM 101"

[OneBardGooner]

I think the WUM may have unintentionally f*cked up, by berrating "God" - he has actually allowed us to stroll down memory lane with this thread - and re-visit THE GREATEST GOAL OF ALL TIME !....Therefore not only have we been given the opportunity to re-view, witness and praise the Genius that is Denis "God" Bergkamp, but simply shown and proven how WUM has made himself look even more of a Twat (if that is possible) - when attempting the opposite.

<sigh> Sometimes life is soooo sweet.

Let me set the record straight......... I regard Dennis as the best Arsenal player of all time, my dad who had seen many more players than me used to say this too. Its just i have doubts he meant that goal, i feel dirty admitting it but i cant help wondering. Agreed if anyone could mean it Dennis could but i have a nagging doubt.

I would nerver admit this to scum fans or any other fans but amongst Gooner brothers here i can

Sorry

The speed of thought, the elegant balance, the perfect positioning. Definitely intentional.

Absolutely - if it was a miss-control (or whatever flash is suggesting) then why did he run around the defender on the opposite side of where he put the ball ? If you miss-control the ball then you automatically run after it to retrieve the situation, but he knew where it was going from the moment it left his boot and went the other side to confuse the defender and boy did it work

At my age I have seen some wonderful goals over the years and many are similar and just seem to blend into others, but that goal was on a different level for technique and intelligence and it will never be beaten in my eyes

augie I think he expects the ball to come with him as he runs around the player (you can't watch it in slow mo only) it happens so fast only his incredible footballing brain rescues what for most other player would be a fuck up

I remember I had jumped into the car to nip out to the offie to get my Saturday night beers in, the game was on 5 live and Craig Brown was the guest, he described it as possibly the "best goal he had ever seen"
On either MOTD or the ITV version later that night Ally wanker bastard fuck face c u n t mc Coist said it was a fluke and DB hadn't meant it.

Perhaps he got a bit of luck with the bounce and the way everything in the move worked out perfectly and how he would've pictured it, but there's no doubt whatsoever that he meant. His body movement more than proves that.

The man is a genius and capable of the extraordinary, pure and simple.

But I'd still have Alex Song over him.

Let me set the record straight......... I regard Dennis as the best Arsenal player of all time, my dad who had seen many more players than me used to say this too. Its just i have doubts he meant that goal, i feel dirty admitting it but i cant help wondering. Agreed if anyone could mean it Dennis could but i have a nagging doubt.

I would nerver admit this to scum fans or any other fans but amongst Gooner brothers here i can

Sorry

Makes perfect sense to admit it on an open www forum though....

If it was a player who did not do it week in week out it could look like a "fluke" but to watch his movement, his vision ... If there was one person in the world who could do that on the planet it's Dennis!!
Like any other genius he will be questioned,debated but distinctly revered no matter what he did.
