Got to be Essien for me, Clive.

Though the ball pinging off the bottom of the cross bar straight down, then firing back up into the roof of the net is my personal favourite type of goal, but I can't abide that era Manchester united so nil points from me.

Any outside of the foot curler is the best.

The best thing is how the ball just hangs there beautifully. Even the goalie by the end is kind of hoping it goes in.

Twonty Gostelow

Fun fact: the keeper for the Drogba goal was a 12-year-old who'd won a competition in Shoot.

Just realized scholes scores that one against Villa, sadly making it ineligible for any goal of the month awards, or indeed eligible for anything at all other than a blot on your copybook when meeting St Peter.

I prefer that Dalian Atkinson goal a decade earlier than any of these. Is it also the most one-dimensional goal of the month. No quick one touch passing moves or mazy dribbles.

Utter Shit

That last angle of the Essien goal is just beautiful isn't it. I love the Huddlestone one as well, he had an unbelievable ability (his only one, truth be told) to hit the ball incredibly hard with seemingly zero effort. This one against Arsenal is another beauty, it's around 1m06s. It almost looks like those photoshopped trick shot videos, where the technique somehow doesn't quite sync up with the way the ball moves.

They're a bit samey though, everyone's just twatting it from a long way out. A perfect Goal of the Month selection would have more of a variety of types of goal.

What's the best goal you've ever seen 'in the flesh'? Post a youtube link and we can have a goal of the since time began competition.

Out of these two. Suarez nabs it probably. The Ballack goal looked better in person.

I once saw an NHS worker do a bicycle kick that bounced off the moon and in off both posts and the keeper's arse.

Against my team too, I was right behind Leighton Baines' first ever goal:

We beat them anyway, so I can still enjoy this THRIKE.

This is the only clip I could find, it was a mazy run before that finish (at least how I remember it) - of course I was supporting Bulgaria (since 1994), so it was extra special. Romania had a valid equaliser ruled out later, which I believe was a thriker but I was at the other end and could not see

I remember watching this go in (I'm in the crowd somewhere). I seem to recall it hung in the air for aaages before darting into the top corner. Absolute rocket.

"Der Hammer" Hitz has had a soft spot for me ever since.

(against my team, but still. the cunt's in prison now, so needless to say, I've had the last laugh)

Nuts 'n Gum

Was right behind this goal, the audacity of a League One player trying this and executing it to perfection. And they still lost!

Was eating a cookie when the corner was taken and only looked up as Scholes struck the shot.

Best goal I've ever seen my team score. Was right in line with the 6-yard box. Ridiculous. (and possibly an offside in there)

Not been to many footballs but I had the very great pleasure of watching this surgical bit of skill from Marcus Gayle

Hung in the air due to the jammy deflection.

Beautiful.

Just, beautiful.

That guy is spanish, looks old and probably has got underlying health conditions which makes his odds for surviving the pandemic particularly poor so a bit dodgy for him to be laughing so hard.

Best goal I ever saw on site you can't find online, because it was Paul Stewart (ex-Man City, Spurs) putting one in from the half way line for Workington Reds, in the North West Counties league in the late 90s. Sadly, he got clobbered by a defender right after the strike and had to be subbed.

Paul Stewart (ex-Man City, Spurs)

And Liverpool - as Souness' replacement for Peter "finished at the top level" Beardsley.
So he would have still been playing in the PL when Stewart scored that goal in the NW Counties League.

No, this would be around 1999 or so, when Handsome Pete was seeing out his time at Hartlepool, I think.

At the time, there was talk of Stewart convincing some of his former Spurs teammates to turn out for the Reds (I think Chris Waddle's name was bandied about), but I gather from his autobiography that he was basically off the rails at the time, for good reason. In fact, he may well have been coked up to the gills when I saw that goal, poor sod.

Tim Howard should win some sort of award for being beaten from a combined 400 yards in one month, the big nobhead. Especially that Portsmouth one.

Last league match at The Dell, Le Tiss comes off the bench and scores the winner. I genuinely thought the stand I was in was about to collapse.

Seems like Chris Woods was actually checking Archdeacon was ready first, in a "look, I'm doing this, you set?" kind of way. Nice to see ex-Man United right back Jimmy Nicholl on top form, too.
