Worldies against City

[Second Skin]

Sammy Lee free kick from 40 odd yards

81/82 Are you talking about the opener in the 0-5 defeat at Maine Rd? :-(

I think so. If I recall we didn't put a wall up and he just twatted it in.

According to NBC Sports, 2 of the best ten last season (Barkley and Osvaldo) scored against us. Here's all ten:

http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2014/05/12/video-top-10-premier-league-goals-of-the-year/

1. Pajtim Kasami for Fulham vs. Crystal Palace

2. Jack Wilshere for Arsenal vs. Norwich

3. Wayne Rooney for Manchester United vs. West Ham

4. Luis Suarez for Liverpool vs. Norwich

5. Daniel Sturridge for Liverpool vs. West Bromwich Albion

6. Alexander Tettey for Norwich vs. Sunderland

7. Dani Osvaldo for Southampton vs. Manchester City

8. Jonjo Shelvey for Swansea City vs. Aston Villa

9. Ross Barkley for Everton vs. Manchester City

10. Fabian Delph for Aston Villa vs. Chelsea

Anyone else think it's absurd that no City goals (plenty to bloody choose from) made the list?

Going beyond last season, obviously Shrek's lucky overbaldhead shinner from a couple years ago is always used as well.

You have to take it as a compliment that we bring out the best in other clubs I suppose. If they want to score it has to be pretty damn special (or lucky - I'm looking at you Crouchy).

Do try and keep up at the back, will you? it's ''The Agenda™''.

For me, it's because nearly all our goals are beautifully crafted. My favourites are the ones where we pass it around, keeping possession, probing for openings before a quick cross or one-two and someone just has a tap in. These are purists' goals of the type the common herd wouldn't appreciate. Never spectacular but, in their own way, absolute poetry.

I can't think of many lucky or stuffy goals we scored last year.

The goal at number two was in for the build up rather than the final touch for the goal, and although it was bordering on perfection there are goals that City score with Silva inevitably involved that reach those kind of heights.

As already stated above, we scored enough to have at least one in there didn't we?

Merlin at Hull
Negredo vs Spurs
Yaya vs Villa
Yaya vs Palace
Nasri vs the vermin
Dzeko at the sty (the second one)

Those off the top of my head in about 20 seconds. Many more I could have named.

There's a media blackout on us as there is for Chelsea (how many times have you heard Chelseas CL win mentioned on CL commentry vs Rags/Dippers?)
Yaya must be well pissed off now, he scored loads of crackers last season;
