That Channon goal v Liverpool on Guardian site

[Crouch Ender]

I didn't see this posted elsewhere (apologies if I've missed it) but today's Grauniad sport blog has an article entitled 'Great Team Goals' which features the Channon one v Liverpool in 1982 at number 3. A nice little write-up too so well worth a look - as the goal always is of course:

Uncanny that someone posted a link to that goal on here only a couple of days back - and great to see it get some recognition

It is quite sweet seeing that Brazil goal in 1st place (IMO, the best goal ever, I love the swagger and the arrogance of it) and seeing humble old Saints in 3rd. Though we had a bit of swagger & arrogance in the early 80's.

We did have a fair bit of swagger and arrogance and rightly so! We never seemed to get the credit we deserved. I remember picking up a video reviewing the 1983/84 season and even though we finished 2nd to Liverpool in Div 1 and only by 3 points there was no mention of us anywhere on the box of the video though Man U ( who finished 4th) and Arsenal who were 6th were mentioned in some detail after Liverpool. Needless to say I did not buy the video !

Obviously an SFC influence there,we did teach them how to play afterall.

Surely there's someone in there you want to slag off?

 

 

 

Anyways, for me, the greatest goal ever. A top quality 16-pass move, ripping apart the "mighty" Liv'pool. What a fantastic bunch of players on that pitch.

 

Gerald Sinstadt: "You wont see a better goal than that this season!".

 

alehouseboys: "Ever".

Thanks, not sure why I didn't think of that myself last night.

Talking of the Guardian - somewhat miffed that Pardew's appointment doesn't even warrant one line in it's sports section.

 

It's obsession with the Premier League (+ Newcastle) is getting a little tedious...
