Had to be Giggs :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Ako Si Jamie]

No way was it the best. Running against shambolic defending like that shouldn't count as a great goal.

Ricky Villa's goal was far better.

Of course it was, he ran from his own half :doh
Anyway, public voted - so tough! :biggrin:

[Dedworth]

Voting on MOTD is a fix which one would expect from the BBC - according to Talk..... a crappy Jack Wilshere goal got "Goal of the season" cos thousands of Gooners farcebooked each other to vote.

[les_taxi]

They still got the decision correct tho Ded,not only was that goal scored against top quality opposition it was the platform for us winning the mighty treble a feat achieved by no other English team:xxgrinning--00xx3:
Best team in the league.,Fa cup winners and European champions.Will not happen again:biggrin:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Of course it was he ran from his own half:doh
Anyway public voted so tough:biggrin:What do they know? :biggrin:

Another one that surpasses Giggs effort. Take a bow son.

Yeah, Jamie you're right, everyone else is wrong. Having played football to a good standard, I have banged in a couple of 30 yarders myself, but I never had the skill to do what Giggs did.
Lamping a ball into the net does not compare to the pace and dribbling skills of a top player. Any idea why Ronaldo and Messi are the 2 top players in the world?
Definitely not for 30 yard shots:doh

Typical disillusioned Liverpool fan :laugher:
Phil Neviile has more trophies than Gerrard, and I have the same Premiership amount of trophies as old banana skins :biggrin:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Not everyone voted for Giggs. Those Arsenal defenders might as well be cones plus he wouldn't have scored if he didn't get lucky when he miscontrolled it in the box.

Here's another class goal (not F.A Cup)

[les_taxi]

Of course not everyone voted for Giggs not one Liverpool fan would have voted out of bitterness which is why his award is even better:xxgrinning--00xx3:
think you are slagging of the opposition who at the time were our main rivals and a quality side so you can't use that excuse.
Anyway fancy a bet on united finishing above the Scousers again next season?:biggrin:

[Ako Si Jamie]

My unbiased opinion so it's nothing to do with the team he plays for. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Might have a bet nearer the start of the season if the odds are right. :biggrin:

[les_taxi]

Unbiased my ....:icon_lol:
Ok i will give you 2-1
So we can have £50 on it i win i get £50 you win you get £100 fair odds:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Ako Si Jamie]

You're worse than the bookies Les

[les_taxi]

The fun is taking it off me though:biggrin:
I honour my bets ask Tiger,i guess you not confident-don't blame you:icon_lol:

[Ako Si Jamie]

I'm not confident in Liverpool doing very well next season.

[les_taxi]

I'm not confident in Liverpool doing very well next season.

Don't blame you they were not so hot this season:smile:
Anyway we will leave it there for now if you change your mind about the bet game on:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Dedworth]

Could have been worse if the BBC had it their way the scorer would've been a one legged muslim putting a penalty in against a team of disabled ethnic females

[Ako Si Jamie]

Do you want to make it more interesting, Les?

Predict who wins the EPL as well predicting who gets promoted and relegated from all four divisions.

£100 virtual bet per prediction and if you win multiply the £100 by the odds of that particular team.

Add up the virtual money at the end and whoever has the most wins the prize.

[les_taxi]

Cannot be bothered with all that stuff, like fantasy football etc. Too busy Jamie got whole house to decorate at the minute too :smile:

[Ako Si Jamie]

:icon_lol:

[andy222]

Of course it was, he ran from his own half :doh
Anyway, public voted - so tough! :biggrin:

The public voted for a dog on BGT so that doesn't mean a lot. :biggrin:

[Ako Si Jamie]

The public voted for a dog on BGT so that doesn't mean a lot. :biggrin:The media like to overcook what the most decorated players do. If someone like Julian Joachim or Dean Windass had scored that goal, it wouldn't have won. Fifty years of MOTD and this is the best one? Yeah, right! :doh

[les_taxi]

The public voted for a dog on BGT so that doesn't mean a lot. :biggrin:

Yep it does it means he won it :biggrin:
OMG do you watch that crap? :yikes:

You mean THE most decorated player, Giggsy :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Ako Si Jamie]

You mean THE most decorated player, Giggsy :xxgrinning--00xx3:

In English football in modern times. Yeah, I agree about that. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[les_taxi]

I think in any times Jamie, who else has won as much as him ever?

Think that ends discussion:icon_lol:

[Ako Si Jamie]

I concede.

I totally forgot he won the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year twice, the Bravo Award and got a degree from Salford Uni. :icon_lol:

[les_taxi]

Maybe it's the 13 titles he won which really got ya :biggrin:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Haven't you got decorating to do, Les? :Rasp:

[les_taxi]

Haven't you got decorating to do, Les? :Rasp:

Yes true, but you baited me :icon_lol:

[Ako Si Jamie]

I've just read that a panel chose five goals from the past five decades for people to vote on meaning that Giggs' goal won from a paltry selection of five. :doh

Just proves my point that the most decorated players are given the edge by the media. I've just remembered another wonderful goal scored by a player who wasn't a household name, and like Giggs' goal it was a solo effort but with a much better finish. If you still think Giggs scored the best MOTD goal, Les, I suggest you hand back your taxi badge because your eyesight is failing you. :biggrin:
