    Premier League Goal of the Season 2013/14

    With Shelvey just having scored a crazily good goal in the Swansea game it makes the list of contenders for goal of the season quite ridiculous this year. Best ever season for it in English football from my memory anyway. Good idea for a thread IMO, everyone feel free to add in your...

    Michael Owen

    Thoughts on him? Liverpool fans despise him. Newcastle fans despise him. Real Madrid fans don't remember him. United fans wont remember him. I follow his tweets for a good laugh. Always trying to stay relevant. "Us", "we" etc, if it wasn't for his tweets people would completely forget hes a...
