[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

Di Canio's was the best. Bergkamp's the second best. sure.

Off the top of my head, RVP's volley?

No doubt there were some absolute corkers but I agree Di Canio followed by Bergkamp with perhaps Shreks/Taylor's in third.

RVPs volley come off his shin? does that still make it good? i dunno

[MHiggi]

Di Canio, Henry and Bergkamp stand out for me as they are different from any other goals I've seen. Volleys are impressive but as the list shows not as rare as the trio I mentioned.

Henry gets my vote because the goal itself was more important in the context of the game and title race (1-0 win over the rags if I remember rightly).

Robby's chip against Arsenal?

[Wonderwall]

DANNY MILLS v EVERTON!

[Scatman]

I'm a big fan of the volley and reckon it beats pretty much everything hands down. The one on SSN that is my favourite is the Paul Scholes one. A beauty.

That Bergkamp goal against Newcaslte is the best goal I have ever seen even to this day, genius.

[Chopper]

Taggart kicking the boot to beckies head.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

I don't give a shit how good they were, noneof them hold a candle to Darius @ Sunderland the other season as far as I'm concerned.

Same, sublime skill from one of my all time favourite players.

These make a good top3.

Outside of the prem, Redondos backheel against the scum was probably the most sublime build-up to a goal I witnessed 'live' in the last decade (yes, April 2000). I'd like to think that not only the finish should be considered. Fuck all those volleys, where's the passing football? The creativity? The vision?
