For me my favourite goal requires context
I (Obviously) loved Seeing Kane’s and Dele’s goals against the red & blue scum. Brilliant & loved them. I was lucky enough to be in the crowd when Deli scores that cracker against Palace. Loved them all but they weren’t wholly unexpected.
For me they at least come second to Lucas’s Champions League semi final goal because of the unprecedented feeling it caused ie from feeling abject but familiar despair, to momentarily disbelief and then to unrivalled elation. Absolutely brilliant.
But for me, if I had to chose the goal of the decade it would be Danny Rose against Woolwich. You have to remember the respective positions between the clubs.
His go was so out of the ordinary, it was utterly unexpected. I think many posters forget how bad we used to perform against them. For at least a decade they had the better team, they had top 4 sown up, a better stadium , better squad & better prospects etc. al We all live near, are related to or work with Gooners and that really hurt.
Then on the 14th April 2010 we score an amazing goal that says FUCK YOU. In more measured language the commentator blurts out ‘ooohhh what a goal! It’s Danny Rose on his premier league debut with a memorable strike’
It was simply absolutely amazing. How can anyone, let alone a kid attempt to score a wonder goal like that?!?
At the beginning of the decade they were above us, but Rose’s amazing goal was a sign of things to come. That we would rightly reinstate dominance over them.
