Game: Utd 1 - 6 City - head says the 4-3 liverpool vs newcastle game tho
Goal: Dennis Bergkamp vs Newcastle - easiest vote of the lot
Celebration: Jimmy Bullard vs City
Team:
GK: Peter Schmeichel
RB: Lee Dixon
CB: Tony Adams
CB: Jaap Stam
LB: Ashley Cole
RM: David Beckham - tbh I voted him before noticing CR, but he wasn't here long
CM: Patrick Vieira
CM: Paul Scholes
LM: Ryan Giggs
ST: Thierry Henry
ST: Alan Shearer

Best Player (tho there's no vote on there):
Thierry Henry


The celebrations shortlist is pretty tame. Where's Fowler snorting the line? Where's Adebayor's 100m sprint?

...and I can't believe Kinky's goal vs Southampton isn't on there.

Why is Moyes nominated as best manager,he was won nothing,not even a carling cup,also Redknapp.1 FA cup,i am sure there were other managers they could of chosen,Benitez should be listed.

To be fair there are five City goalkeepers out of the ten nominated for team of the 20 seasons:

Shay Given, Joe Hart, David James, Peter Schmeichel & David Seaman.

But besides Joe most in there for playing for other sides tbh

Hook, line and sinker!

They had a "pick the team" for the last 20 years option as well, unfortunately you can't get away from the fact it will be dominated with rags, even my team had 6 of the feckers in it!

GK - Schmeichel
RB - G Neville
CB - Adams
CB - Stam
LB - Cole
RM - Ronaldo
CM - Gerrard
CM - Scholes
LM - Giggs
ST - Henry
ST - Shearer

Bergkamp, Zola, Vieira have to be in there somewhere.

To get Bergkamp or Zola in there I'd have to drop Henry or Shearer. In my opinion Henry was a shoe in for a spot, and Shearer's goalscoring was hard to ignore, 7 seasons with 20+ goals, 3 of which had 30+ goals!

I agree but I don't even think it won goal of the month on MOTD.

Also - 20 greatest saves - David James' save for City from Frank Lampard's close range volley at Stamford Bridge. Last minute got us a 0-0 - amazing save.

Why are the BBC celebrating 20 years since they showed any good football?

On the Kinkladze front, his goal against Southampton had the misfortune to occur in the same month as the Yeboah goal against, I think, Liverpool (he scored 2 very similar goals that season). That won goal of the month, and indeed goal of the season, with Kinkladze's almost forgotten.

What kind of a category is "best quote"?

I remember this. They had a panel of sorts and Gazza was on it. He was the only one who voted for Kinkladze's goal, everyone else voted for the Yeboah v Liverpool for that month.
