MOTD Goal Of The Season

CSF

Congrats to Cisse. Wonderful goal, of the ones nominated though I'd have picked Crouch.

I do think that the system of having one goal for every month though is a poor idea though. The likes of Ruiz's goal should not be up for contention while the likes of Suarez's v Norwich (which would be a top 3 for me with Cisse and Crouch) are not.

I'd have picked Crouch too as goal of the season. Disagree with you about Ruiz's though, it was class, don't see too many chip's like that so close in.

Still love Van Persie's strike vs Everton.

Mr.Nice Guy

I would go with Cisse myself but Crouch wouldn't be far behind.

What was the dramatic music they used for the season wrap-up at the end? Went well with it.

darragh16

Which one of Cisse's got it, the second against Chelsea I presume?

kitakyushu

A lot of them seemed to be past Everton?

I'd have given it to Crouch tho. Great goal against the toughest of defenses.

TheFullDuck

anyone else notice the number of goal of the season contenders scored versus Everton? Or was I imagining things? :pac:

edit: damn you kita!

Grand enough, we're all going to have different kinds of goals we prefer more than others. I'm not having a go at the choice of it though as much as how they were picked.

Not sure if it was something out of the Dark Knight, something like this I think?

Don't think that's it though.

If a goal isn't even the best goal that month, how do you expect it to be goal of the season?

Yup, sorry.

The Suarez lob against Norwich was my pick.

Can't remember the track but it was from Inception if that's any help for you.

Was this it? Can't even remember now :pac:

Ah yeah that's the one. Thought it was The Dark Knight myself.

It went well with the wrap-up. I always like the highlight vids that BBC and Sky do at the end of the season.

Wasn't better than the top 3 imo

I find goals that go into the top corner without hitting posts look better than other ones :P

Yeah they did a savage one for the end of the season for the 2010 season in F1. Can't actually believe this was a year and a half ago :eek:

But is it right that the second best goal of the season potentially doesn't make the shortlist if it happens to be scored in the same month as the best?

sensational.....Vs Everton.

............repeat x times

Samich

Which ones were against Everton?

darragh16

Cisse's first against Chelsea was a great goal. Takes it on the right, flicks it up and hits it across the far side of the goal. His second one was brilliant, preferred the first one though!!

His second goal that day (Imo) was a far better goal and well deserved of Goal of the season and probably of most other seasons.

If it didn't get goal of the month then it's hardly going to get goal of the season in fairness.

Robbed.

Didn't realise that was their system, yes it is stupid. A couple of the goals looked like speculative crosses that found the goal.

Morzadec

Cisse deserved winner, I've never seen a goal like it. Steve Claridge's reaction sums it up, a ridiculous, shocking strike.

I'd put Crouch 2nd and Suarez 3rd

G.K.

Cisse's deserved best.

Crouch, Suarez, Cisse vs Swansea, Coates, RVP vs Everton,Raylor, Campbell and the Ruiz goal that didn't get picked should have all been up there.

The_Kew_Tour

Am I still the only one who thinks the Cisse goal was fluke?

NufcNavan

Would have went for Ben Arfa's goal. I much prefer solo goals rather than a great strike.

Take Crouch's goal for example. Great goal, but a lad who has been around as long as Crouch was due a goal like that if he swings his leg at a ball enough. HBA ran over 70 yards solo, beat 3/4 players and cooly slotted past the keeper at pace too.

Does the defence it was against make any difference when it was a one in a million strike from outside the box?

If by "beat 3-4 players" you mean Bolton lads running anywhere except at HBA.

It was a good goal, but he literally just put the head down and went straight.

If anything it highlights why Bolton were relegated :P

Suarez vs Norwich, Cisse vs Chelsea, Crouch then Coates vs QPR, were better IMO!

You could find faults with any of the goals i'd put before it as well I suppose.

Suarez, the GK was too far off his line.
Cissé didn't look like he really meant it. (The form he was in though, its a strong possibility that he did)
The Crouch and Coates ones are almost flawless though. Great strikes by two big men.

Still great goal just have my doubts a player can be that good to get that typr curve and beat keeper like that.

But still beauty.

To be fair there was more than that to it. He nutmugged a Bolton player with backheel in his own half to start the run. Admittedly the Bolton defense was poor but he had a nice little dink on the ball right as he was entering the box to take it away from the defenders. A great goal.

Yeah I agree, ben arfa's goal was the best, took more skill than just swinging a leg at the ball and hoping for the best

His goal against blackburn in the fa cup was just as good

I couldnt believe Coates or Suarez were not in the top ten. All great goals but Coates was unreal for a centre-back

eagle eye

Cisse's goal deserved it imo and I think his other goal in that match was the second best of the season. In fact that first goal leaves you with no doubt that he meant the second one so there is nothing flukey about it. He scored another wonderful goal too against Swansea where he chipped the keeper.

Can't argue with their choice.
To say it was a fluke is awfully discrediting.
It was a shot on goal,no deflection and keeper couldn't do anything about it.
Wonderful strike and wipes the floor with everything else bar Crouch's goal which is a close 2nd.
I'd probably put Cissés goal above^^^ or Brian Ruiz in 3rd.Both significantly more difficult finishes than Suarez goal against Norwich which I'd put in 5th.
