[Hammer-Time]

one of the best goals of the year

[streetballa14]

One of??? no, i'd say its the best goal of the year thus far... and thats hard for me to say as a Chelsea fan

[mgcoug2]

really best of the year maybe in the bicycle kick category

[Hammer-Time]

i'm willing to give the other guys around the world a shot to come close...

[Brandon]

Best goal I've seen thus far. Drogba had a pretty sick goal earlier in the season.

[ib4]

pretty redic

[crazymike2021]

soo awesome

[Ollie]

Seems to be quite a few people interested in football here, little suprising but nice to see

[Hammer-Time]

i had basketball in the winters and somewhat over the summer but damn as soon as some of the snow was off the ground... the cleats were on and it was game time.. the same in the fall throw on some long underwear and lets go. i miss it. my knees wont let me cut hard anymore

[shawncro]

Goal by Rooney is awesome but Id say this is right up there.

Yea cant beat a good game of footie with your mates.

Hadnt seen Marchisio's Shawncro, nice dont think it top's Rooney's though.

[Hammer-Time]

where i grew up we had the best side in the city because we all were within maybe a mile radius of each other and so we knew each of our styles our strikers were filthy we ran practicly a 2 4 4... me and one other in the back. with the rest free to attack we sent our center back up probably 80% of the time it was good times i miss it for sure

[streetballa14]

yeah for me its basketball on cold nights, soccer on saturday and sunday afternoons and ultimate every day of the week gotta love college

Same here, as you could prob tell by the name + ava. But yea no doubt that Rooney goal was class.

Looking forward to the Chelsea match tonight, see how Torres is fitting in, need a win after the weekend results.

[Hammer-Time]

your not gonna catch united this year dude... maybe if torres sacks up next year...

[TooSmoove]

No doubt we won't although we do have to play them twice still, think our main focus is the Champions League now, speaking of which is great to see it starting up again, big game tonight between Milan and Spurs.

David Luiz was great yesterday for Chelsea, dispite giving that last min pen away, he looks like he is going to be a top signing.

[Hammer-Time]

he did look pretty decent...
i'm curious to see who united go's after to mind net for them. my favorite thing ive seen... take MORE players away from Liverpool pepe reina that would amuse me to no end...

[TooSmoove]

Reina's been strongly linked over here for it, don't really see that happening though. Maybe someone like Neuer from Schalke or De Gea from Atletico Madrid. I'd go with Neuer think he's top class and still only 24.

[Hammer-Time]

hmmm thing i heard said sir alex is willing to throw around big money this summer..

[TooSmoove]

It's more to do with Liverpool won't sell to Man Utd and I Don't see Man Utd having big money to spend untill the Glazers sell the club.

Half time between Spurs/Milan atm, 0-0. Tottenham the better team so far.

[Hammer-Time]

This is stupid... The game today is showing on my cable package.... And yet tomorrows game. Gunners/barc isnt

[streetballa14]

Im really disappointed in Torres so far. I just feel that being a lone striker should be the easiest adjustment next to a goal keeper. You have one job as a striker and he isnt producing.

Yeah I meant to comment on that earlier but forgot lol. I just dont like Drogba seeing more bench time, hes been such a staple for so long it sucks to see him pushed aside by a noobieeeeee

[Hammer-Time]

Torris only produces when he's got 2 things superb play in the middle to feed him and when he's the center of attention
To use basketball terms he can't creat his own shot very well

[dukefan]

torres is actually a very good player.....before this last world cup atleast....he was just bothered by injury....but im bias cause even though i don't follow soccer that much...torres is by far my fav player

Im sorry but anyone who wants to be called a premier player in their respective sport but is chronically injured or claims to have a nagging injury as the reason for a lack of production is just another ego looking for a scapegoat for a slump in their career. Torres luckily hasnt said he cant produce due to injury, but its time to nut up and start working your ass off to win games.

[Hammer-Time]

like i said he needs the ball fed to him to be a productive scorer...

Give him time man, He showed some promise against Fulham on Monday night, the main thing is that he is lacking confidence, I'm sure he is going to be a big hit just give him a couple more games. There's no doubt in my mind on his day he is one of the best strikers and finishers in the world.

True. And i guess we will be seeing him for the next few seasons anyway lol. But I do believe that once he gets going, he will be able to replace Drogba as the lone striker.

What a game last night, this pretty much sums it up for me
