Jimbo Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 From memory of the last decade, and not taking the occasion in to account : Vardy against Liverpool obviously Vardy against Utd, the 11 in 11, purely for the no look assist from Fuchs Vardy against West Brom, the ball over the shoulder Shinji against Newcastle, the bicycle kick Cambiasso against West Ham Drinkwater against Liverpool Gallagher against Palace, can't remember if it was the 1st of the 2nd but both were pretty decent Knockaert against Huddersfield, both were good Bruma I think against Watford, proper missile type strike Mahrez against Blackpool, his first goal for us Mahrez against Chelsea, good enough to get them twisting and turning Vardy against Spurs, twice is 2 different games at home There's a Fryatt goal in my head too but can't remember who it was against Wood against Burnely, that is a thunderbolt Theres loads more but these are just off the top of my head

Granted, it wasn't always perceived like this. But football had followed tennis in calling a ball struck just as it hits the ground a half volley. So now all air borne shots, whether they've bounced or not, are called volley. No it isn't. Just because some people use a term incorrectly, doesn't mean it automatically becomes acceptable. A volley, and half volley, is still exactly as it was 50 years ago. The whole point of giving such credit to volleys, is because it is still an extremely difficult shot to control - ie receiving it directly from an opponent, when you have no other reference points but the ball coming towards you. Once it has bounced, it loses speed and your eyes can easily position on to where it is, in relation to the ground Kicking a ball when it's simply in the air is no big deal, and it doesn't have a special name. It's just a shot.

Only a fvcking idiot includes 1970 in the sixties rather than 1960. Any chat about there being no year zero is redundant in light of the above. Will await your silence in lieu of an apology for your persistent wrongness. Everyone used to believe the world was flat. Didn't make them right.

CUJimmy Posted 6 January 2020 Posted 6 January 2020 More importantly though one of these three for me: Mahrez v Chelsea because it really felt like we had a team good enough to mix it with the big boys. Mahrez v Man City - “Shit, we could actually do this” Albrighton v Seville simply for the crowd reaction when the ball went in and at the final whistle.
Stadt Posted 6 January 2020 Posted 6 January 2020 Gallagher’s backwards header against Scunthorpe Kyle Naughon against Doncaster Oakley at Forest King at Blackpool A few lesser remembered gems from the first half of the decade. All of Fuchs’ goals Slimani v Liverpool Mahrez backheel against Copenhagen (?) Vardy in Seville Drinkwater v Chelsea King v Man City Cambiasso v West Ham For some that I don’t think have been mentioned for the last half of the decade
dynamark Posted 6 January 2020 Posted 6 January 2020 Easy Riyad against Man City left Hart rooted to the spot and the significance of 'this is going to actually happen.' Mind we are lucky in that there is plenty to choose from
Jimothy Posted 6 January 2020 Posted 6 January 2020 Andy King away at Coventry, I think it was 2010. He made run into box, collected the ball and then scooped it over the keeper from just outside the 6 yard box, but it was sort of all in one movement. Will search for a video of it later.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 6 January 2020 Posted 6 January 2020 Well personally I think they were all ruddy marvelous.
David Hankey Posted 6 January 2020 Posted 6 January 2020 Vardy at home against L'pool in our title winning season. Absolutely superb strike.

Duh, I said when it hits 0 it starts again, this year, 20 is the 1st year of the 2020s, 0-1.

You're right, 100%, but you're going to just face this 'language evolves' argument over and over from s person incapable of accepting they've made a mistake. If you're really lucky you might get a 'that's your opinion' thrown in. But I'm afraid you're arguing with ignorance.

Giving something an incorrect name repeatedly isn't evolution. I'm not sure you understand it. He's correct. That's what the term means. It's been bastardised, it hasn't evolved.
