Having taken the plunge and made the permanent move from England to New Zealand, this website (not blog, hate that word) was born out of sheer bone idleness. Emailing people to tell them what I was up to over here sounded like far too much effort. Now the effort is squarely on the shoulders of my readers who have to trawl through regular tales of drunken nights out and quiz questions. Enjoy...

I agree Gartside - that was miles further out than Alonso's effort. That keeper also has nothing on Steve Harper (the cripple who was playing in goal for Newcastle when Alonso scored).
Give that man a steaming penis fondue. (Erm, see Owen's link from comments on previous post.)
True. Harper just fell over, the Gillingham keeper (Scott Flinders) was beaten by the deception that was put on the ball.
Deception put on the ball!?!!? It was an up and under from 70 yards that the goalie misjudged.
OG is the new Daniels when it comes to creative goal story telling, but not quite there yet (e.g. "I beat three men before hitting a swerving dipping scissor kick that nestled in the top corner" or something).
Lunt, there was an element of tongue in cheek with my description of that goal.
However I don't think there was any tongue in cheek when a newsreader over here described Alonso's effort as "goal of the century". Hmmm.
Oh come on. We're only six years into it.
This is my fave non Pool goal of all time. In slow mo it's so far behind him it's untrue.
Humdinger
A fine strike. I would contest however, that the finest football moments are not necessarily goal-based. Though you'll have seen much of this many times before, there's probably still some new material there.
A legend in action
oldham: hoof, bounce, bounce, bounce, it's in!
alonso: hoof, keeper slips, spacky grasp at air, it's in!
FCUM: spots keeper off line. goes for audacious lob into the narrow window available to him, shot hits the back of the net without bouncing. genius.
some comparisons here ..i mean here
PT: rammstein. great tune.
Love the punters' descriptions of Alonso's goal in that vid. In paticular, one honey who proclaimed:
"Arr ey la, I thought it was brilliant! Last time 'e done da, we won de FA cup - I rechhen we'll do it de leeeeegue!"
It's in the bag, boys.
