Shaun's goal better than Van Persie's

 I still reckon Shaun's goal against Leicester in 2001 was better than Van Persie's. Very similar but the pass comes from much further out.  http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=shaun+bartlett+goal+of+season&oq=shaun+bar&aq=1&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=1646l5108l0l8884l9l9l0l1l1l0l259l1453l1.4.3l8l0

    Exactly what I said last night. No doubt about it.
  • Don't like to admit but Van Persies is a much better hit. VP's goal still defies me how it went in instead of going into row Z.

  • Shaun's is placed van Persie's as good as it was, was a shinner!

    That it was but he still buried it. 

  • Shaun's was far better.
  • He's better than Shaun Oh no wrong thread.
  • Shauns was controlled though rather than leathered. And it was dropping to him from such a height. And most of all, he did it with his wrong foot. Bartletts was better.
  • I wouldn't like to choose between them but I agree with paulsturgess, Bartlett's technique was surely the hardest to pull off. Volleying a ball that's coming from behind you, especially one that's travelled that far... Give it a go!
  • Di Canio's for West Ham was better than either of those mentioned.

    I disagree. I think Shaun's was actually better. Di Canio made his look better by jumping in the air.

  • Bartletts all day, the distance the ball travelled and to let it drop across your body is a skill to make contact let alone control the shot into the bottom corner.
    one of my top highlights of the Prem years along with di canio 'dinking' Lehman. Oh and HH (greedy nob) scoring first goal at 40-1 against chelsea.
  • On the very same day as Di Canio's famous goal, Scholes landed an almost identical golazo which was then confined to the cutting room floor in favour of Paolo's seemingly all because the Italian did that little jump before volleying.

  • Slightly confused, are we talking about the lucky shinner he got at the Valley after he should have been sent off or the one he scored as part of the Arsenal - 125 Years Old Aren't We Just The Bestest Team In The Whole Wide World w###fest over the weekend?

    Actually, scrub that, Bartletts was better than either of them...

  • Why be so disrespectful to Arsenal? They are a great football club who have done things properly, far more than all the other successful English clubs over the last 70 years or so.
  • Yes Chirpy, old George Graham certainly did things "properly", didn't he? *nudge nudge - you wanna envelope with that George?
  • He was found to have done wrong and Arsenal sacked him. So there you are. No one is bigger than the club.

    Don't remember Clough getting sacked by Forest?

  • Saw VP's goal and said straight away it was like Shaun's but not as good. Plus the pass to set up Shaun is way better than the pass to set up VP. 
  • VP's hit it from about the height of Luke Youngs chest. Just as difficult to keep it down compared to Bartletts dropping over his shoulder.
  • Bartletts just shades it imo but that takes nothing away from RVP's goal on saturday. It earned him a round of applause from my sofa on sat night.

    With his shin not his laces.

    That was the deciding factor for me, Bartlett guided his into the goal.

    This, that day won me 200 odd quid. HH first scorer, us to win 4-2 and Holland to score. My best day as a Charlton fan (and I gave up betting after that, never gonna be that good again!)
  • Yep, had £4 on him that day, quickest return Ive had at a footy Match!
