Tevez - less pure whallop, more instep, and therefore more deft technique, imho.

Funny one to call which is the best. I remember Tarnets so clear as was there and at them times a cracker like that brought joy. Elanos was a cracker but.... The curl on the Tevez shot, WOW!!!

Elano for me. That game was the point at which the previous season's boredom seemed like a different universe.

Personally thought tarnats vs villa was a much better free kick than the one at blackburn

Will have to say Tevez and Elano equal for this one

The thing I love about the Tarnat free kick is the goal keeper's thought processes. "Yep, got this covered. Whoa, got to move a bit. Damn."

Tevez. It's the closest I've seen to roberto carlos' famous one, in the premier league. It's actually going a fair bit wide but the bend is so perfect. Wow. It never got the attention it deserved because iirc it was after we'd won the fa cup and confirmed our top four position?
