Stunning though both Rashford's and Foden's strikes were in the 'derby', yet there were other 'Goal of the Month' contenders which I'd have placed ahead of them both, in terms of technique and 'spectacular-ness'. Soucek's for West Ham would've got my vote, because of the initial control and purity of the strike to beat Pickford at Goodison.
Similarly, my other half, on seeing the goals, picked out the acrobatic overhead effort for Brentford, saying it was her favourite.
However, on seeing the line up of the eight contenders on offer and noting the presence of a candidate from the Evil Triple Empire of Red Shirts, I opined that none of the other seven stood a cat in Hell's chance of winning.
'Why?' asked the distaff side.. 'Because' says I 'all the United supporters around the country will be phoning in to vote for St. Marcus.. just like the Liverpool and Arsenal fans do every month for their players..'
'That's not fair!' suggested my 'media naranja', as I refer to her when with our continental friends.
'Well, that's modern English football for you' I responded, adding 'It's all click-bait and feeding the narrative of the 'history clubs' nowadays.. no-one else gets a look in..'
Total waste of time, each and every month..
