5 points top of the league in November.

I bet no one expected this in August.

Re: The Official Football Thread

The gunners played very well, the passing of the ball was amazing.

I'm not complaining, they deserved to win, SAS was a bit off today. Not sure why the ref disallowed our goal though, that would've changed a lot...

Lol check out Begovic's goal for stoke city (he's a keeper)
He kicks the ball from inside his own box, and it flys across the field and bounces over the other keeper's head

I'm guessing this is why it happened:

My friend who is a massive Man. Utd. fan, and went over to watch a game said that all EPL pitches are watered and are damp, even on a really sunny day. So the ball bounced over the keeper, with this an amazing goal, because the pitch was not damp enough.

Great goal though. I remember this year when a guy in our team scored a free-kick from halfway to get us into a knockout cup final. Hilariously brilliant.

I remembered the time when my mate scored a 40 yard thumper with the wind blowing at around 80km/h against him.

This is why I love Football. Not only was that a hyperbole, but the motion of the ball through that wind would be hyperbolic.

The third goal was poor defending. But his shot was epic.

The second goal was a great improvisation. The first and second goals also rely on those great low crosses.
