Arfa chance: ILF Goal of the month September 2010

pirlo. lol

oh yeah, doh. berbatov for me. but i have an inordinate childlike fondness for overhead kicks.

1. parker
2. ben arfa
3. berbatov

My hero Paddy McCourt ftw.

Or, aye, Berbatov. Overhead kicks are great.

Calling Alex v Arsenal already for October.

Good initiative a hoy hoy, I approve. Got to be Berbatov.

I was watching August's gotm again and yeah it's Bale, but Walcott v Blackburn was very sweet indeed and would've taken most other months.

I really want you to mean the one Bale scored off his face, but I know it isn't.

arfa then gyan then berbatov

Bale was off his face? Just think how good he could be if he stayed sober.

ahahaha.

ben arfa v. everton

^^ this -- kicking the ball with his left foot (altho i guess he could be lefty) across his body and all the way across the goal, plus he was sorting falling back, idk how he got so much power on that kick cuz it was a fucking laser

sort of*

It may have been against Everton but happy to give Ben Arfa the sympathy vote.

101gg link not loading for me & cba finding them all elsewhere but if I remember them all correctly it'll be one of
ben arfa v. everton
berbatov v. liverpool
tevez v. chelsea

Probably Ben Arfa.

everyone not voting for berbatov is being a wilful and pointless contrarian

and that is science

nah, it's taking into account it was a chancer effort and kind of flukey enough. all for it, and it's my third best, but nah gyan better and arfa better again

hey, I lauded that Gyan goal at the time, but come on dude

am i known as the guy that doesn't give berbatov his dues or something? the goal was a bit of a fluke, not everyone would have tried it, not everyone that tries it could score it. kudos, third best goal in the league that month.

btw the lack of anyone talking about the Vela goal - does this indicate that finally everyone will stop tripping about that Cambiasso '06 goal being the best ever? The same criticisms work for both iirc - just because there were 4000 passes doesn't mean they were important or decisive ones and it was to score a 4th against a demoralised 10 men team...

it was a long ball with a decent finish

I thought we'd got over the 'long ball doesn't equal incisive pass that happens to be in the air' commentary on ilx but obv not.

"incisive pass for a decent finish", in yr own words, doth not a "this must be discussed youse fucks" GOTM entry.

Ha and now the moment has passed means that I don't think Vela's is that great. I was just saying that I don't think Cambiasso's is THAT great for the same reasons.

/contrarian.

argentina's passing tore the opposition apart.

arsenal's held the ball in midfield and then fabregas lumped it.

^this

this is so obviously berbatov

honourable mention for lovem or the late ben arfa

lovem or hatem, duh

you gave us ages to get that one

tempted to vote vela for lols

3 weeks is too long of a gestation period here imo

and yeah in the future should maybe try to have this be worldwide but ya know, i'm a lazy mod.

Think we should carry on with English-only, we can have a separate international GOTM thread. Three weeks is probably too long though.

Either Ben Arfa or Berbatov for me.

me too, but voted berbatov in the end

Ok well this thread was as much a trial run as anything. Next month will take less time.

cool. voted berbatov.

for the October selection, a wondergoal from the Irish League!

love it

it's been ages since fans been this over a heel turn.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

The advantage of such a long poll is that you get to vote again. Ben Arfa this time.

fucking christ you do as well! since when could you vote more than once? ben arfa sympathy vote is for the weak-headed. natural selection guys, the dude wasn't up to it

Nowt sympathetic about it - it was a belter, that's all.

Disadvantage - it was so long ago I can't remember any of them except Berbatov :-/

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

voted ben arfa, dont feel it requires a defence tbh- 2nd would suggest not.

berbatov's was a fluke, but good luck to him for trying.
