Could not resist redoing it properly!

Seeing it again (and again), it must be close. It's got great power, is curving away from the keeper and is right in the corner.

The only debate really is over which of top corner or bottom corner is more unstoppable.

Did think calling it a great finish was a little much

Torres today

Reminiscent of last season's Berbatov.

Have to say, Carroll did everything but score today. Thought he was outstanding.

 

He was fucking brilliant. Two assists as well.

Will that one for Shola's second officially count?

He was great on our corners, just powering into the ball with total disregard for however many defenders they had under him.

And then the second city derby!

Hate that offside call, particularly as I used to be a left-back. So the ball is played right down the centre-forward's path, as he runs onto it, but he's not deemed offside until he touches it.

Agreed. The new approach to offside overall is great for the game. But sometimes it might be in danger of getting stupid like in that instance. Of course that pass was for Torres who was then active in that play, ref should have blown his whistle.

Carroll's probably just learned to use his body and pace more effectively.

Shola might have lost a bit of weight in the last month. Been one of the best all round performances I've seen from him.

Fantastic group of.. players.

 

He's mixed it up.

He's suited up now. Got to be more professional.

Any pics of the scoreboard??

The what?

Would rather have lost 4-3 than win 5-1

Happy as f--- that Simpson is back.

Just thinking the same. Every time Simpson does something I'm imagining ways in which Perch would have messed it up.

And then got booked.

Shola has played really well. Fair does to the donkey.

Oh ffs, there's nothing in that. Let's play please.

Looked like he got some of the ball there, Mensah.

How many more goals for messi to drink his piss?

 

1

That will be known as: The Piss Goal

Nolan trying to put the keeper off

Carroll to get the next please.

... And then Colo to chip the keeper from 25 yards.

Gutted for Carroll

But what a finish from Shola!

Haha, Barton didn't bother looking back. Knew from the crowd his backheel was good.

Gutted though. Was hoping Carroll would take that one all the way

Straight red is maybe a little harsh tbf.

Hard to care.
