Ramsey v Norwich for me
-
What happens if we score worldies in the last few games? Hate this shiz with awards that are handed-out for a season that's not yet finished.
-
No poll? FFS. Anyway, Ings vs Newcastle is the correct answer.
-
Archer v Chelsea for me. What a moment for him and the fans
-
4 really good goals in that list that all deserve a mention:
Watkins vs Brighton was the most fluid counter-attack I've seen from us in years.
Ings against Newcastle is incredible technique.
Ramsey against Norwich shows the player he can become with his drive from midfield and then the quality and composure to beat the defenders and place his shot.
Finally Cam's goal against Chelsea is as close to the perfect header as you'll see.
I think I'm leaning towards the last 2 but I can't pick between them.

Agreed! I think the votes for the PFA awards are cast several months before the end of the season?
-
Yes, I seem to remember Giggs winning player of the year a few years back, past his peak but he had been in-form for a couple of months mid-season (Nov-Jan, I think) before tapering-off. Because the votes were cast Jan/Feb-time, he was fresh in people's minds as being the best player that season.
-
Ings is the obvious choice but I love a team goal followed by a crackerjack finish. So I'm going for Watkins vs Brighton on the break (important one too to break a five match losing streak) with honourable mentions to McGinn vs Palace and Archer vs Chelsea (as well as Ings of course). We've scored some decent ones.
-
Buendia's finish against Brentford and his header at Everton - great leap and angled contact for a little'un, deserve a mention.
Hope he doesn't get crowded-out if we buy Coutinho, Emi will only improve.
-
1 - Ramsey v Norwich. Just perfect technique. Great surging run, strength to hold off the challengers and a cracking finish.
2 - Archer v Chelsea - lovely team build up and a truly brilliant header.
3 - Ings v Newcastle - not a hit and hope overhead, but powerfully directed from miles out.
-
Between Ings Ellis kick Vs Newcastle and Ollie at home to Soton (lovely move all round before a great turn a finish) for me.
-
I voted for Chambers.
-
Either Ramsey or Archer for me. Will add a poll after work this evening.
-
1. Watkins vs Brighton for the counter attack move.
2. Ings v Newcastle for the technique.
3. Cash vs Brighton, well worked but let down by the slightly scuffed finish.
Thought Kortney's at OT might have made the list.

This would be my order as well. Ramsey's was good but aided by a bit of a deflection.
-
Ramsey's goal was great, but Watkins has all the same attributes, as good a finish plus a better build up for me.
-
Ramsey's for me, though my personal highlight was big Kortney's header at Man Utd because I was there, and shit like that doesn't usually happen to us.

Won me £300 as well.

1) Archer v Chelsea

3) Ramsey v Norwich/Ings v Newcastle

Poll added.
-
I'm surprised Bailey's isn't in there.
-
Ramsey Vs Norwich.
Unbelievable.
Something Grealish threatened to do for years but Ramsey actually scored. What a solo run and effort!
Wonderful.
One of our own. Class.

Same.

Why do you need to mention Grealish on this thread?
Also are you so determined to moan about him that you've forgotten about his goal against rotherham which was every bit as good as any on this list?
-
That Ings goal for the technique wins it for me with Ramsey a close second.
-
There's still 5 games to go, why are the club doing this now instead of waiting until the end of the season? A player could yet score a worldie and it wouldn't be counted. Ridiculous.
-
Genuine question - for people picking Ramsey's goal, what do you see in it that raises it above Watkins?
For me they are similar and both great finishes, but the move for Watkins' starts in our box and the move for Ramsey's on the half way line.
-
I’ve gone for Callum Chambers.
Centre Half, great technique and against Leeds.

I'm not sure the bit about where they start is correct. The clip for the Ramsey goal starts with the ball being passed when it's halfway inside our own half, but the video doesn't show what happened before that. In my opinion, Ramsey's is better because the Norwich defenders are much closer to him and he dinks inside and out a couple of them, before scoring at the keeper's near post. Ramsey is given much more space, so not quite as difficult. Still a cracking goal though.
-
I've gone for Jacob Ramsey's goal against Norwich.
-
I'm with Risso, both great goals (and in the 4 I picked out as genuinely top drawer from the vote) but, for me, the Ramsey one was a notch above because of the power and drive he displayed. Voted for Cam in the end though, it was a truly perfect header.
-
McGinn v Sheffield
-
1 - Ramsey v Norwich. Just perfect technique. Great surging run, strength to hold off the challengers and a cracking finish.
2 - Archer v Chelsea - lovely team build up and a truly brilliant header.
3 - Ings v Newcastle - not a hit and hope overhead, but powerfully directed from miles out.
That's where I landed as well. Great to see two of our home grown youngsters up there.

Me too.

What about Ollie's goal at Burnley? Oh, I forgot the season ended last week! Just shows the stupidity of not waiting until the end of the season for nominations.
-
PFA Player of the Year is the silliest, I think they usually have to vote in about February.
-
It doesn't fulfil the usual criteria for these things as it was poked in from a yard or two out, but the build up to that Luiz goal from the flick over the top from Chambers and the ball across from Coutinho was genuinely beautiful.
-
The Ramsey one where Coutinho totally did the Dirty Leeds player on the halfway line before playing him in was a personal favourite.

Yes, and arrowing the finsh into the top corner with the air of supreme confidence was particularly sweet
-
In fairness they all have merit. I personally voted for Archer v Chelsea. It was a real old-school centre forward's goal: a tremendous run and cross met with an athletic leap and pinpoint header which left the 'keeper stranded knowing he was beaten the second it hit Archer's head so was wasting his time attempting to save it. I loved it. Now, if the list had included Watkins effort on Saturday I would have been struggling to choose.
-
In what might end up as a very Meh season there are some great goals.
Some very good ones not in there and my favourite is the Luiz goal against Southampton
Brazillian pass by Chambers with outside of boot, to a Brazillian Magician to calmly roll across the goal for another Brazillian to tap in
Just beautiful
My personal faves so far
Watkins Brighton - fabulous end to end move
Ings -Newcastle - proper goalscorer doing what he does best
Ramsay - Norwich away - just great run and drive home (fair play to ref for playing advantage)
-
Sanson scored a belter in training the other day, I'd go for that one if it was listed just to give the poor b'astard some moral support.
-
For me.
1. Beundia vrs Brentford
2. Watkins vrs Brighton
3. Archer vrs Chelsea
4. Ings vrs Newcastle
Honorable mention to Ramsey vrs Norwich
-
I'll go for Coutinho's winner against Liverpool at home tomorrow night.

Top drawer to spot Alisson off his line and chip him like that from 35 yards out.

I don't need to hear how excited you were.
-
Ramsey vs Norwich for me, could have voted for them all though, some top finishes there - just down to what style of goal you rate the most.
Finish wise Ings made the over head kick look easy
-
Ings vs Newcastle deservedly wins. The club haven't announced that everyone who disagreed was an idiot, but it's clear they were thinking it.
-
Ings nominated for Match of The Day Goal of the Season. If you want to vote, do so here...
