Anyone know what Pires' goal was like?

[1_Pablo_Angel]

haha no, just.... in general. He's probably my favourite player, love watching someone with his technical ability.

[Monty]

And sounds a great goal, by all accounts.

To be honest, they could just be making this up and we wouldn't know.

[eamonn]

Let-off at the back, Carlos and Brad fuck-up nearly lets them in

[Villa'Zawg]

Pires has just cleared the ball off the line. hahaha

[ozzjim]

Thought Pires showed the odd glimpse at Sheffield United that he could still pick a pass. Fair play for getting the goal.

Now pissing about with the ball and giving it away.

Pires cleared one off the line too now! See he does have a use.

[eamonn]

Great clearance from Pires off the line

[junxs]

A goal out of nothing. The veteran Frenchman siezes upon a loose ball in penalty area to lash a crisp half-volley past Robinson. Superb technique.

[alanclare]

Great block by Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès. Pirès.

Apparently Bradley on loan is confirmed

Fantastic save from Samba header by Friedel

[TheSandman]

Barry Bannan the next Charlie Adam??

He will be a considerably better player if he answers his vast potential.

By all accounts Uncle Bob scored a cracker. I don't know why but I actually want him to do well for us.

"Delfouneso knocks down Bannan's cross into the Frenchman's path. He scores with a terrific half-volley."

"Commentary available on AVTV now. " Probably have to subscribe.

Really?! That's a top signing if it's true! Really good player! Any sauce with that?

Eh? Houllier is doing well now, I don't want that Yank in temporary charge.
