Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[SoccerHQ]

I was in the North Stand upper that day so had a great view of that goal.

Typically my dad who always finds fault in our defence when we concede turned to me when everyone else around us was applauding and said "where was the defender on the edge of the box?!"

He scored a similar one v Bradford years back.

His defining moment? Bit personal...

Although I would have preferred not to see that photo, it made me smile.

or was it Kiraly?

It was Kiraly:

Stunning goal, the talented barsteward.

I remember applauding that goal only to be told by the bloke behind me in the Holte to 'fuck off back to Manchester'.

Fair point well made by the bloke at your rear.

Why? It was a quality goal. I was in a bar somewhere abroad and remember (vaguely) saying how good a strike it was. I also applauded the Pires effort whilst in the Upper Holte. Should I fuck off to Manchester aswell?

Charming.

[silhillvilla]

Thinking about it, that bloke shouting obscenities in the Holte got it so wrong.
It should have been "fuck off back to Berkshire"

I honestly think that is one of the best goals I've ever seen scored against us.

I was sat in the upper witton, almost in line with where he shot from. I was with my Dad (who is a Nose).

The thing I remember most about it is that when it hit the crossbar it made quite the most amazing noise.

I have always really had a love of goals that go in off the bar (the post, less so) and make that fantastic noise, but we heard it loudly even from that distance. It was without a doubt the best "crashing in off the bar" noise I have ever heard at a match.

Where we were sat, plenty of people applauded it, and not just undercover away fans, either, it was a brilliant goal.

I seem to remember two other goals from years ago at Villa Park that stick in the mind. One was Paul Ince when he had just broken through at West Ham, and one was someone - whose name I have forgotten but I am pretty sure he was a childhood Villa fan - who i think was playing for Luton.

Of course not.

Mark Pembridge.

[pauliewalnuts]

That's him.

I think I am confusing him with someone else for the "childhood Villa fan" thing, though.

[Matt Collins]

Pires's goal for arsenal v us was fantastic

The two best opposition performances I've seen were Ronaldo in a 3-0 Man U win (he wasn't at his unbelievable best but he was just on a different plane to anyone else on the pitch) and mostovoi for celta Vigo who just ran the game. Mostovoi was one of my personal favourites. A bit like hagi.

[pauliewalnuts]

The best opposition performance I've ever seen was Juventus. Who are the best team I've ever seen live, I'd say, even 30+ years later.

Agreed. From memory they had five or six of the Italy team that won the World Cup and Platini and Boniek was it? How fitting that Sid scored a pretty good goal himself in such exalted company. Went to The Atlas after the game which was shutting down for good as soon as the beer ran out. And they had topless barmaids.
