Issa no do comment without link no?
The catch here is for me that every goal has a context and within that perception lies greatness
I remember Giggs scoring the penalty and big man Edwin saving the penalty for the CL win – I’ve never seen Giggs Rio cry like that afterwards
That is just as exceptional as anything United have done are doing will do.

Welcome back to the premiership Reading!
I hope west ham don’t follow them, cardiff and blackpool would be great. Holloway’s a mad hatter
The most beautiful and fantastic goal for me is Rooney’s Work of Art, the Bicycle Kick. It was just superb. Rooney’s bicycle shut our noisy neighbor up.
Watch the animation from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAD0z8G4stM
one of the best team goals ever? the forgotten man.

Congratulations to Reading
Next:
Ronaldo Rooney double act against Bolton the day I believe Gary Neville got injured and never recovered from the Bolton corner…
That injury wrecked Red Nev but at least he left his boot in Ronaldinho’s ass on the way out
Fun memories from Reading. I remember laughing my ass off when I saw Duberry in their line up on the opening day of 07-08. And then he injured Rooney’s metatarsal…
I also remember the cup game where we were 3-0 up after 6 minutes. Good times.
Hope Southampton follow suit.
Blackpool have made me a happy chappy tonight!
The left back at Lyon is Aly Cyssokho, a name I have tossed about for weeks and months, hell I wanted him since he contained Ronaldo back 2009 at Old Trafford for Porto. I think he is now 24, reliable, he’s no Paddy but defensively sound.
Michel Bastos is a left winger like Coentrao and Gareth Bale who are often mistake for Left Backs by people that have no knowledge of the player. Doubt United are linked with this 28 year old winger.
I am for Fabio to go out on loan but it would be nice at a premier league club for the experience. I Think SAF will buy a left back which is why he has given Fabio the loan move.
Do we really want a 21 year old Fabio who’s barely played as our left back for consecutive matches when he can’t even stay fit for two matches in a row?
We can’t rely on a player like that to push Evra throughout the season. When Evra was bought in 2006, he was brought in to compete with an Old Heinze who wasn’t great going forwards plus he was sidelined for a long time. Evra proved to be a bargain and better so he pushed forward to 2nd choice and then beat off Silvestre for Left back around mid-season.
I doubt Fabio could do this while the 31 year old Evra is still going strong ( well a bit). What Evra needs is serious,young competition, someone who will definitely replace him, not a “maybe”. But the point is this potential signing will scare Evra into raising his levels. It is then up to Patrice to try and delay the inevitable, Paddy cannot play 45+ games in his remaining years which is 2 seasons more at max, so it’s about time we strengthen.
Fabio should be in contention to compete with the potential new left back…once….once! Evra has been displaced, in the meanwhile a loan move, a right back and left midfield role should suffice during his education. By the time Paddy leaves Fabio will be 23/24, which is hardly old is it.
I’m sure SAF has a plan with him, the boy is more than decent he’s great for his age and has good discipline, he and his brother are educated with game time like all good players, you don’t learn and become the best overnight.
What is certain is that, this summer we need a left and a centre midfielder !
I don’t care for Gaitan just like I didn’t care for Young,Jones De Gea last April because it was too early. Lets not judge any potential signing ability wise…who knows we might miss out on Gaitan and he may well become the next…say Iniesta !

Champions League Semi-Final 2009, 2nd Leg Away to Arsenal; third goal on the night.
Ronaldo to Park, Park to Rooney, Rooney to Ronaldo Goal !!
Cristiano’s free kick on the night is arguably more spectacular but I love this goal because it summed up the gulf that had emerged between us and Arsenal’s philosophy. A perfect end to end Man Utd counter attack.
I’ve never seen a goal empty a stadium so quickly especially in a Champions League Semi-Final in the 61st minute.

Great minds eh
Zibbie’s flying header that was awesome.
Hi Zibbie
Been off the blog for a while and I recently read about your brother, really sorry to hear about your loss and may he rest in peace………..
MG – Great minds indeed!
Just voted my premier league XI of the last 20 year:
Van Der Sar, Neville, Rio, Vidic, Irwin, Ronaldo,Scholes,Keane,Giggs,Cantona, Rooney
That was me being un-biased

Scholes volley V Aston Villa
Seeing some of the names on this thread, I think they only turn up for the competitions. Post more lads and ladies.

Yorke v Barca
Ronaldo v. Porto
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU1Ij5n7_Z4
While the goal was spectacular, I think the situation helps make the goal even better. At the time, Porto was unbeaten against English sides at Estadio do Dragao and United was still reeling from giving up a late equalizer in the first leg. Such a beautiful strike.
Sorry I mean Cole v Barca
But Yorke was very much involved
It would be nice if the winner is someone we’ve heard of.
Then we can leech off them.
For sheer technical class it has to be Ronaldo vs Portsmouth
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5WmpgeY7tow
Honourable mentions go to:
Keane vs Juventus
Cantona vs Sunderland
Giggs vs Arsenal
Scholes vs Barcelona
Just too many and this is just the modern era!
Papii
Cheers lad, I picked Edwin as well. Not the most popular pick, but defensible. Every one has a right to their own opinions, eh?!
Think any keeper who has a CL and wins 3 EPL titles in a row is in with a shout. After that, it’s down to personal preference ….. and maybe just a bit on the manner of their leaving.
Maybe this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kEB8VxlURI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
There’s 2 goals in this link. I obviously mean the 1st one.
Best shot, Torres missing open goal at OT and JT missing penalty and landing on ass. Can watch those two over and over. Better than counting sheep.
Also for all those missing Carlos Quirez, I understand he recommended SAF buy Bebe hence that maybe reason for his continued exile.
Bestie playing for Ireland when he made Banks look like a total cunt,at the time Banks was considered the worlds best.The goal was disallowed but it should of stood
Not a huge fan of rating long range shots as best goals,just getting hold of it right and any play on his day can produce one of those
Great build ups or individual brilliance should always be rated higher than long shots imo
Clint. Yes mate I said Cissoko too not Bastos or that debauchery or whatever his fucking name is ha! He looks a decent player.
Wayne. Alright pal. Oh you don’t have to tell me Modric and Bale are over rated. Been saying it for years pal. This Spurs fan goes on a lot of reliable spurs blogs and that’s the talk.
Ozil? Fuck that. The mincing little cunt cannot play longer than an hour.
What a fucking horrible cunt Ribery is. Pathetic cheating bastard. Noncey cunt. Never forgive him for getting Rafa sent off.
I may get stick for this but even though he was shite tonight take Ronnie out that Madrid side and I think they are vastly over rated. Ramos is a red card waiting to happen. The fullbacks like that Paul Calf flashed mullet cunt Coantrao is a ponce. Marcelo cannot defend. Pepe is a cunt. Khedira is limited. Ozil can’t get past an hour. Alonso is decent. Irony is they are probably gonna win the league although I think Barca will piss the game on Saturday.
Otherwise all goals in 7-1 thrashing of Roma were great.
I have to say, I rate Arjen Robben, what a player.
One of my favourites which always gets overlooked was Scholes against Panathanaikos. Thirty odd pass move pulling their players all over the park finished with that delicate little chip over the keeper.
KE I know you have mate both seem to be getting worse,just can’t believe Sir Alex would pay 40 mill for Modric
Good thing someone remembered the Rooney volley against Newcastle. I completely forgot about it. One of his best.
Ronaldo against Portsmouth is another:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WmpgeY7tow
Wayne. Agree pal. Aint a fan of long shots. Even Crouch hit a belter. That’s why I loved Scholesy`s against Panathanaikos.
Goodnight United

Ruud against Fulham at Old Trafford in 2003. He picked the ball up in his our half, shrugged off a midfielder, skipped past four defenders, and then shocked the charging goalkeeper with an early roll into the bottom corner.
Unusual goal for him perhaps. I think he only scored for us from outside the box in his last season, although I stand to be corrected (if necessary!)
I have to say I detest Arjen Robben. What a rentboy cunt!
As someone mentioned on previous thread from out of nowhere tonight Stewart on the Paddy show made a statement saying we may have heard all the rumours about Gaitan. “The club will not be buying him. Are not interested. Never have been“. Hhmm odd one of all the rumours why say this.
God some daft cunts on Pat show laying into Rooney. Yes he has his moments but some cunt just said we should drop him for rest of season and play Owen. Is that a sick joke? Idiotic cunts.
Fletch –
I tend to favour Edwin over Schmeichel for some odd reason, I see the saves made by Schmikey and I think WOW, what a keeper, probably the best this league will have ever seen but then I see Edwin with long skinny frame and I fall for the fella.
I think the CL save and rescuing us in 2005 swayed it for me, he was an angel to our rescue
- King Eric –
Good to see you agree with me on the Lyon Left back.
How? with his straight runs off the pitch and with no ability other than run and boot the ball aimlessly across goal hoping it’s mistaken as a cross or shot.
Completely agree with you on Real being the total bag of crap, Take Ron out Benzema looks like a fat Ronaldo(Brazil), the one in his later days that ate alot.Alonso is the only players I like their apart from Ronnie.
Watched Modric the other day, Shite, out-passed and out-thought against the performance of that shit haired dog Scotty Parker, imagine him beside Scholes, a total let down, thought he’d impress me that game but the rodent look alike failed as usual, seems to bottle it against the bigger sides.
Bale – The Chimp thinks he’s Ronaldo

the first one in that video.
Ronaldo’s fk against Arsenal. It was the last game we played of significance before the barca defeat and ronaldo exit, in essence it was his parting gift to us, killing off arsenal within minutes. For the rest of that game, every United fan watching knew no one could deny we they the best team of the decade.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QlAtEh8duY
how else were we going to win the title ?
Don’t see Levy selling Modric to United. Not unless he has a change of heart! Love to see Fergie move for someone like Sahin. A quality player, sitting on the bench most weeks at Madrid. Think the boss would get the best out of him. Forget the likes of Goetze, Eriksen and Modric. We can’t afford them anyway. Concentrate on the players who are up for a challenge of playing for United. That’s also gotta be within our price rage. City can pay silly wages and fees. We can’t.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2zZGPdB0v4
its not like any of us have seen it since, or intend to see it again
shame cos its a stormer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=187vkBkL_qE
Albert, Cheers mate. Can’t ever get enough of watching Ruud in United kit. Man was pure genius and a goal scoring phenomenon.
Here is a compilation. I think your goal is in there about half way through.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yJyOyoiNPqg
I hate transfer talk so early in the season but I can’t resist.
I think we should buy a left back, centre mid and player up front who takes the work load off Rooney and can be his partner in crime like when he had Ronaldo or When Cole had York. Like Ronaldinho had Eto’o. We must buy and produce quality players within the system so when the days come, we can say to Giggs and Scholes – “We love you, but its time we did this without you ” I’m saying not saying now of course, but the day will come this year or next year or in 3/4 years time and we must be prepared years in advance because there will be no 2nd return, once that path closes, we should not linger in front of the blocked road if you know what I mean.
For me this year, we need to strengthen, we lack a fresh of breath air, I’ve always said this but sometime a special signing can spark a new Era of greatness ahead (Cantona,Ruud, Ronaldo, Carrick…..) We need someone to set the path for a new Era, to mark the birth of the 2011-15 domination.
Wonderful build up play, only for Scholes to make it look pointless.

Rooney wants to be Scholes and looks a bit lost now MF is being bossed. But he is better as a striker higher up imo despite on his day having some great distribution. I don’t understand why sometimes the ball just seems to bounce off him, on replays he sometimes seems to just not move his feet fast enough, he is better when running on to the ball hence don’t think MF is for him right now. Dance Rooney dance! Lighten those toes like Messi.
@ KE – why did I know you would detest Robben. You have to admit the dude can do stuff that is worth rewinding to see even on betamax.
@ Willie Red
Sahin- excellent target for us, underused and full of quality.
Where is everyone…? You lazy buggers in the US and Asia, at least you should be awake. Write damn you.
All ba ma self…gonna be…all ba ma self…
@ LoneStarRed – perfect entry. Welcome.
For my money however, given the times he has been watched I would say Hazard is definately a target. Though I did not really rate him when they played us, in clips he seems great, but so do many.
Also in terms of make weights for any deal I think Ando, Lindegraad (to get first team football) and Park possibly (though he would likely also retire and I can’t see him going but see O’Shea and Wes) are more likely to be make weights than Macaeda, whose value is unproven.
After this season blooding youth with more to come through I also think SAF will go for proven experience in positions that our youth team may fill in a few years. I would not be surprised if he went back for a cut price Wesley Sneider.
Actually given his contract has been extended, Berbatov if he is willing could also be a make weight. He would be a bigger fish.
OK I am done talking to myself. LoneStarRed has buggered off the one post wonder.

2. …and Solskjaer has won it
3. Rooney’s overhead kick against shitty (rare combination of imprtance and beauty)
4. Scholesy’s screamer against Barca
5. Macheda against Villa
…I am sure there are many, many more…
…and of course 4-3 mate, from the lovable scouse bastard, “taking the”-micky-owen
unforgettable goal in an unforgettable derby. More of the same on 30th though I doubt my heart will survive it.

berbatov.. pure class
There’s a goal that ole scored a few years back against forest away (I can’t share it cus I’m on my phone) but the ball was played in , Eric took it on his right foot ,without letting it touch the ground he juggled it a couple of times and chipped the goalie it came off the bar and ole headed it in . Now obviously you can see why its so special and its shows what a fine margin a there is in scoring and missing . What I’m trying to say is that if that had gone in it’d be one of the first on our lists . Having said that Rooney got a couple of beauties against Boro at hom in the f.a cup in mid 200′s ,a chip and a volley if memory serves correct .
Oh shit i just missed Tree, Thanks Cedars and all you touch my soul!
Zibby sorry to hear about your brother mate thinking of u and your family.
Transfer talk has stepped up as it should with 4 games left, SAF already in 2012 has sold PIG, Gibbo, Morrison will loan Fabio that’s 4 already and the season of summer has not got here.
Already Gone——-Probables——–Surprises
1) PIG 1) Berba 1)? Rio opts for big payday his last in China??
2) Gibbo 2) Owen 2) Like JOS and Wes
3) Morrison 3) Andro
4)Loaned Fabio 4) Kiko
What young lad or lads will break through this summer and make the first team????!!!!!????
Evans can back up or beat out Paddy. Have you seen his ball handling skills as of late.
Back 4 next year Rafa, Rio, Vida, Evans ?
99 thanks man.
Zibbie
Only just read of your sad loss, really knocked me for six hearing of such a tragedy. My heart goes out to you and your family in this time.
Stay strong buddy I hope the lads can win 20 to give you a smile.
FletchTHEMAN – Cheers for that video!
Anything that fell to Ruud in the 18 yard box was a goal. Maybe he was a one dimensional player, no great speed, not the strongest, poor in the air despite being 6 feet plus, and didn’t cover a lot of ground. But he scored every time he had a chance in the box.
Another great goal he scored was in 2005 at Charlton. Rooney took on four Charlton players from his own half and then chipped it to Ruud, who took it on his chest, swiveled, and smashed the ball into the top corner. Great assist, great finish, great goal for the purists!
2013/14 Season
David De gea
Rafael Smalling/Jones Evans/Vidic Fabio
AY/AV Carrick/Rooney Hazard/Cleverly Nani
Welbeck Chicharito/ Keane
Tommy Taylor has a better record than Ruud in terms of goals-per-game, doesn’t he? I know it’s very close. Sorry for going randomly off-topic, was just thinking about that.
Morning all
Regarding the topic of the thread, for me personally it is impossible to pick a favorite United goal, be it in terms of beauty, quality or importance. Out of the blue I just remembered the free kick by Cantona vs Arsenal, the one where he had his arm in bandage, what a bloody screamer
I think Ruud was pretty good in the air. He scored goals by header too, that’s why he & becks was deadly combo back then…
theboogeyman
I’m not sure, you may be right. Of course, when the ball fell to Ruud in the box, Tommy Taylor was nowhere to be seen so it’s lucky that Ruud was able to do the business just about as well as Tommy!
For me it has always been one of the following of which my choice is all about goal importance not technical ability.
Keane away Turin header 99
Giggs 99 arsenal semi 99
Ole 99 Champs league final
Paul Scholes 2008 semi home against Barca
Ronald Porto away 2008
@theboogeyman:
Considering his goals tally, ratio per game & age (he was just 26 y.o. by his death),
i believe Tommy Taylor was deadliest forward United ever had. Shame Munich tragedy robbed him from us :’(
Cedars
That was in the fa cup 96 if I remember correctly, Cantona had broken his arm and was in a cast
TheCANTONA – I can’t claim to have seen stats, but when I think back I remember a hell of a lot of tap-ins from Ruud, not many headers.
Giggs12
I guess it was mate, just found it….. Worth another look…. Nice list you came up with by the way
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzBTQfh7qFI
@Albert Ross:
well, i’ve just made quick search on google. Ruud indeed scored nice amount of header’s goals (i.e. against citeh, juve, russia,etc,etc), so IMHO he’s far from poor in the air…
Not any top class goal, but lets hope our title decider in 2 weeks unfolds in the same manner:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlwCUVJAR8A
@Albert Ross:
Hell! He even scored his latest goal against Racing Santander with header on 9th April…
TheCANTONA – I bow to your better judgement.
At the very least, it was a poor choice of words by me!
Perhaps it’s true to say that no aspect of Ruud’s play would be considered exceptional.
I said perhaps!
It is the results that he got that stand out, not his skills.
It felt like he was always worth a goal, particularly in Europe.
Don’t know about his career in general, but from a quick count, Ruud scored about 18-20 headed goals for United.
@Albert Ross:
I believe his goal instinct was/is Ruud’s greatest asset. Do you remember his goal with impossible angle against Germany in Euro 2004? Truly predator.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcnqhK5WB2s
The Rooney volley against Newcastle
For sheer importance and significance of a goal, for me its Keane’s goal against Juventus! We were trailing 2-0 at Delle Alpi and without Keane’s terrific performance and that very important goal, I doubt if we even would have made it to final in Barcelona, forget winning it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gehzhS6Vzo
TheCANTONA – Predatorial is the right description, nice!
What a goal that was v Germany!
Costas – how many of those were assisted by Beckham, I wonder!
I’ve scored a bucket-load of headers from inch-perfect Becks early crosses (in my dreams!)
Ruud was one of a kind. Only Raoul is comparable in my opinion. Scored all kinds of goals, and there were so many matches where the difference between 3 pts and 1 was Ruud. Loved the guy – my personal favourite is the one where he picked up the ball around the halfline, out in a surging run, nutmegged Ol Sol and rounded the keeper before stabbing it into the net. Vision, but a striker’s vision – clinical and ruthless.
@Costas:
Aye. Ruud was pretty good in the air.
I could be wrong but somehow I believe 1 world class striker that rarely scored header goals was Thierry Henry. His header against Brazil in WC 2006 was the only one i can remember. but boy he was magic, a top pacey skillful striker, great shooting accuracy & a top cunt too..
@Albert Ross
A couple, but not too many, lol. I remember one against Blackburn in 03 that was a product from a Beckham cross. Wouldn’t be surprised if Giggs had more assists in that area. They played together longer than Ruud and Beckham did.
I could be wrong, but I believe the striker that benefited the most from Beckham’s crossing was Yorke.
@TheCANTONA
Top cunt is an understatement! It’s not Suarez like hatred in his case. We hated him, but we were also afraid of him. Don’t remember many headers either. Just the one you mentioned and the winner he scored against us in 2007. First United-Arsenal game at the Emirates.
@Costas and TheCANTONA: That Arsenal team was full of cunts – from goalkeeper to striker. Costas – funny you bring up Suarez. To my mind Suarez’s open handball against Ghana was not as bad as Henry’s forehand drive against Ireland (fucker celebertade pro-actively – he probably thought he had won Wimbledon or something).
Hahaha. I know, cunt might not be proper word to describe him, but i just love to call all players from opposition clubs like that
Saurez? Well, he just an over-rated racist bastard..
@Jeet:
Well, no team nor a player in this earth could beat Liverpool for the ugliest & cuntiest team of the world.
Ruud was overrated, fluked most of his goals!
