While we're on great Robert goals, what about the one at Goodison Park when he was on the corner of the box and smashed it into the opposite top corner. Great pass from Woodgate as well iirc.
Argh, everyone always highlights that one. It was shite goalkeeping. He scored an absolutely fucking amazing free-kick at home to Southampton from about three miles out. That one was his best imo.
I remember that one as well, that was shit keeping imo, it swerved a bit but went stright down the middle basically.
The manager, the development of Rooney and the emergence of the likes of Defoe, Lennon and Johnson as real top players has made a bit of a difference. Gerrard, Lampard, Terry and Ferdinand are in their peak years now too.
I say it's about time we start trying to bring a few championship players through to the premiership, we used to do it well under Bobby and when you look at the success of Jagielka and Lescott at Everton, i'd say it was worth a gamble on him rather than use the money to buy a knackered old twat used to sitting on the bench at a top 6 team.
I'd take Cleverley for a couple of million defo, got something none of our other midfielders have got in his movement and skill on the ball. Got a decent eye for goal as well.
Gourcuff had a really good season last year. Arshavin had a decent Euro 08 but hasn't done spectacularly this year I agree.
Think Iniesta deserved to be second.
