[cite]Posted By: Jayajosh[/cite]Rooney's overhead goal v Di Canio's volley for West Ham? Two of the best goals I have seen in the EPL. Think Rooney's just edges it for me.
I do find it odd people don't want to rate Rooney at all. Clearly is the most talented player England have had in a good while, of course the media are going to go wild over him.

He is a very good player and very talented but he is equally very overrated. There are numerous players abroad and playing here that i would put in my team ahead of him. Most talented player England have had in a while is like saying the best American Football team in Cornwall to be honest.
Not world class by any stretch as he proved in the summer and the fact he plays for united hides a lot of the non games he has as he gets carried along.
Plus i dont like the way he moaned like a b1tch after the Algeria game to the cameras about the fans. Or the way he held his club to ransom over his contract....still sums up a lot of their fanbase now that they are back to kissing his nads like the sheep they are.
Still if the media tell me he is brilliant he must be.
Scored one last season from about the same place... keeper came out to punch it, bicycle kicked it about 30 ft in the air, hit the underside of the crossbar on the way down n went in
While we are on a Rooney and Man Utd love in as great as the goal was,it is still along way short of that other Man Utd,player who scored what for me was the best goal i have seen,i give you Mark Hughes Wales v Spain.As for Rooney best goal think it was against Turkey for England in Sunderland.

...or his goal for Everton against Arsenal, or the volley against Newcastle.
Great goal. Shame he played like Wayne Sleep for England in the summer when it mattered.
I look forward to the inevitable media y front wetting about the overrated, money grabbing, granny botherer. Spot on mate, lost all respect for the bloke but good goal, still not as good as you say as Shaun Bartlett's goal
It's a great great goal but in my opinion it's not his best... the volley against Newcastle just pips it for me.
As for all-time overhead kicks... my pick is Rivaldo's for Barcelona v Valencia... a 90th minute overhead kick to seal his hat-trick, a 3-2 win, and with it the win that Barcelona needed to secure CL qualification on the last day of the season

you can say that again ;-)
though in all seriousness... doesn't the selfishness you need to get to the top and the money that you earn along the way mean that most of them end up tainted
I saw JJ score two overheads for us against Exeter in the cup a few years back.
Bradley's the other night wasn't too shabby either.
However because a fat, non-national anthem singing ,alleged granny shagger, who plays for Manchester United, does something good the media as one get their knobs out!
[cite]Posted By: ValleyGary[/cite]and because its wayne rooney everyone else thinks its just okay
imagine if it was lionel messi, then the real spunkathon would begin
why cant people just appreciate a brilliant piece of skill for what it is
Because it was good but nowhere near as amazing as the media are making it out to be
NOTW were saying "That's why he's worth £220k a week" - really? So £220k a week gets you 1 overhead kick and precious little else every 8 months? Bargain....
I don't understand the reaction at all. Good goal but not a goal of the season and certainly not the best goal scored at Old Trafford. It's not even the best goal Rooney has scored there!

Great goal - from a rebounded free kick if I remember.
Back in those days they opnly had the one tv angle - if you could have seen that from multiple angles people would never forget that.

Thought not
Shaun Bartletts was better than Rooneys.

he can't. that ball was 2 only yards behind him, when he plays for England the balls he gets are nowhere near that close.
Yes and the way the replay was watched in almost total silence was special too.

Aside from BWP's goal, that goal was like watching Arsenal with all those passes.

better than bartletts all day long. had everything that barletts had but with a bit more athleticism.

footballing perfection
They don't come any better than that from Rivaldo, unbelievable skill.
Just a shame he is such a despicable human being.

Massive overreaction from the media and not even close to Sinclairs
This was a bit special...

No allegation Len.Fact.

Watched that on a tv screen in Barcelona Airport on way home from a boys weekend- place went mad.
If Messi had produced the touch Abbott did, it would be all over YouTube. Fact.
