I cannot remember Le Tissier's goal but that Bergkamp own na die.. Afrodoc.....No be the one wey the guy received a pass with his back to goal (at the edge of the box), turned by flicking the ball past his marker (padè mì lègbè) and slotted home? Rooney's goal was awesome too... The fact that it was a match winner (few mins to full-time) in a derby of that magnitude probably makes it a bit more special |

I don't know the way you guys look at it. May be because it is Rooney. There are goals you see every week. There are goals you see every season. There are goals you are opportune to see in a life time. The goals of Le Tisser, Henry, Bergkamp, even Giggs in FA cup, are goals you see every season. But Rooney's goal against West Ham is a goal our generation was privileged to see. The instinct, the technique and precision. It was never a ball calling for the legs. It was a head ball that was falling behind. Every other person would have left it since it didn't fall to scoring position. What did he do? He turned and converted a hopeless situation into the greatest EPL goal ever. A derby winner. |

afrodoc2: We see bicycle kicks that are inviting, then when one scores it, it's not a surprise. Even Rooney scored one last season, I think against Swansea. But that Rooney's overhead kick, with the height of the ball, no bouncing, no rebound, the ball was going away from him, tell me when you saw that? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 11:37pm On Jun 07, 2016 |
elampiro: Zlatans bicycle kick against England is special, Trevor Sinclairs bicycle kick from OUTSIDE THE BOX for QPR is special. Both of these are truly special once in a blue moon kicks. Rodney's bicycle kick was the type Tega and Segelu used to score every week.... And they didn't have to shin theirs. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 11:40pm On Jun 07, 2016 |
elampiro: Trevor Sinclair scored a more difficult one. Zlatan did. Falcao did, Hugo Sanchez made a living scoring goals like Rooneys once a month. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 11:43pm On Jun 07, 2016 |
Dadehmola: Yes that was the goal, I think the defender was Nikos Dabizas. In terms of technique and execution Rooneys goal was good no doubt but there have been better. There was a time Shearer was just belting volleys from everywhere. Rooneys became so famous because of the occasion, the timing and of course who it was that scored the goal |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:49pm On Jun 07, 2016 |
afrodoc2: Sinclair FA cup 1997 Ibrahimovic Friendly a few years back You see, different tournaments with almost 20 years apart. Low key complications. But Rooney in a Manchester derby, in the EPL. It comes once in a blue moon. Forget your Tega and Segelu stories, bicycle kicks from direct crosses are not common. But long rage happen every time in training. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 11:51pm On Jun 07, 2016 |
elampiro: If you don't want Segelu stories then stop inundating us with stories of the goals you used to score. Abi do you have a copyright to telling stories we can't verify? 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:52pm On Jun 07, 2016 |
afrodoc2: Trevor in a low key FA cup fixture. Ibrahimovic in a friendly. I no know Falcao own. But you couldn't mention any from EPL. You see. Whereas we get the Le Tisser stuff every season. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:56pm On Jun 07, 2016 |
afrodoc2: Does it mean you invented Segelu story just to counter me? Abeg scissors kick had pass long rage. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 11:58pm On Jun 07, 2016 |
elampiro:Every season? For your mind. Anyway this was just an exercise in futility, nothing anyone can say was going to change your mind. 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:00am On Jun 08, 2016 |
afrodoc2: I have just reviewed that Le Tisser goal (both) about twice. abeg, that is almost a regular goal you see every season. The Bergkamp goal, I have known it forever. Rooney's goal beats all. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 12:01am On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro: Segelu existed but was so skilful TJ had to break his tibia and fibula. Lol Tega still dey play ball for Lagos....scoring bicycle kicks DAILY |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 12:01am On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro: Ok |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:07am On Jun 08, 2016 |
afrodoc2: Touch, control and lob/volley into the net. It doesn't sound out of the world to me. They happen often. Among such, the one I respect is that of Neymar where he turned almost 360 degree to volley home. That was out of this world. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 12:09am On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro: Lol Neymar, another favourite of Elampiro Siddon look mode activated |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:11am On Jun 08, 2016 |
afrodoc2: Na infant he dey play against? Even empty net, when it is a crossing, first time shot into the net from bicycle kick is hard. Even from the touchline. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 12:14am On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro:Tega sabi ball pass you niyen now, na talent |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by raumdeuter: 12:19am On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro:The one Henry scored vs Man Utd Barthez |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:20am On Jun 08, 2016 |
afrodoc2:That goal was against Villarreal. Go check out. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 12:25am On Jun 08, 2016 |
Ok Rooney and Neymar have scored the greatest goals ever, Elampiro are you happy? Let's move on abeg |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:26am On Jun 08, 2016 |
raumdeuter:The one he turned only 90 degree. He tried sha because of the long range. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:31am On Jun 08, 2016 |
afrodoc2: Ok let's move on. But na Maradona goal sweet pass. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gWGqrK5pKM&app=desktop 2 me this is actually my favourite rooney goal! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Odunharry(m): 1:10am On Jun 08, 2016 |
Rooney's goal against City is classy but there are goals I will take over and over before I pick that one Cmon, we all know Peter crouch scores bicycles kick not once or twice.. I will pick Rooney's goal against Newcastle, the outside volley over the bicycle kick. Torres scored against Blackburn when he was still at Pool is a goal to watch, Scholes vs Aston Villa ,Ronaldo vs Portsmouth Adams vs Chelsea, kanu vs Chelsea too etc etc |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Odunharry(m): 1:14am On Jun 08, 2016 |
BossKratos:Same here.. when Wonder boy was still wonder boy..My guy Don fade |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by lorenzo9096: 3:40am On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro:Ali also scored a replica of that neymar goal against crystal palace. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:59am On Jun 08, 2016 |
lorenzo9096: Ali's goal took three touches. Neymar didn’t stop the ball, his first touch beat his marker and the second was the short. But Ali's goal was also a wonder. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 6:02am On Jun 08, 2016 |
BossKratos: This was a wonder. But it was inviting, although the first time accuracy is world class. The overhead kick was not inviting at all, it was the last thing any human would have thought. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by taiwoliu(m): 7:39am On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro:Hehehehe.... No excuse this time abi I go like get Die-hard supporter like you ooo. You are role model for the Nigeria National Teams Supporters Club. |
