Favorite goal

Post by RocastleRock »

All that seems to be on sky these days is the premiership years, which is great, re-living some of our greatest moments in resent years...

But which premiership goal goes down as your personal favorite since A.W took charge??

On a personal level; DB10 (not Mr. Kelly) against Spurs at Highbury in 1996. I went ape shit.

Technically though, I suppose it would have to be either Bobby's against Villa and Southampton, one of the many Dennis scored or Theirry's against Utd.

It's all a matter of taste.

One of my all time faviourites would be DB10 against bolton i think (correct me if im wrong) in arsene first season as manager on the last game of the season when he got up our european spot with the winning goal.

Found it here's the link 2:05 on here for goal but video is verry good.

Bergkamp's third goal against Leicester in 1997 - was there and went beserk.

Was moaning when we were still playing at 2-1 up, wanted the ref to go on at 2-2, and then moaned at 3-2 when Leicester equalised. It didn't matter that DB had scored a fantastic hattrick - we'd been robbed!! Time however let's one appreciate it all.

In truth, too many great goals to think about.

My God!! This is so difficult!! :? :roll: So I thought I would break it down to my favourite goal by a couple of our past legends.

My favourite Bergkamp goal was the one in the FA Cup away to Sunderland in 1996. He skipped past two defenders by doing a couple of drag backs and then curled the ball into the top left hand corner of the net from outside the box! What a Fecking great goal, and it just beats the Newcastle one for me!!

I think one of the lads has it showing on their avatar - the one where Bergkamp and Hughes hold their hand to their mouths in an 'oh my God, what a goal' sort of way!!. 8) :lol:

Henry's best although a difficult choice, would have to be the Spurs one that started from the edge of our box. I was in the North Bank that day and remember thinking as he was about to shoot: just finish it off and it will go down as one of the greatest ever goals! of, course, he duely obliged!! 8) :) :lol: And then he ran all the way back to the spud fans to show off!! :lol: :lol:

Freddie's goal in the F.A. Cup Final against Chelsea would probably be my favourite one of his collection.

As for Robert Pires, I would probably plump for the one against Villa, in the 2001/2 season I think, when he picked up a long cross-field pass from Henry, lobbed the ball over the defender and then chipped the keeper from the edge of the box.

Finally Paddy Vieira's 35yard thunderbolt during a 3-0 win verses Newcastle United at Highbury - although I can't exactly remember when it was off the top of my head.

Donaldo,

I too loved that Kanu goal. Oh how we laughed!! :lol: :lol:
I use to say to all my mates that Kanu alone was worth the admission price, because he would always do at least one bit of skill in a game that would make your jaw drop! :shock: :lol: :wink: I really loved that giant African!! 8) :wink: :lol:

Oh, and how about the one he scored late on against Spurs at Shite Hart Lane, during a 3-1 win? He received the ball, back to goal, on the edge of the box and with a defender up his arse :roll:. He then proceeded to flick the ball over the spud, ran around him to collect the ball, and then slammed a volley into the net!! 8) :lol: :) :wink: :lol:
