Possibly the best goals compilation I've seen in sheer audacity. These are goals that are stuff you see in video games and think it looks unrealistic. He looks like Pele over there.

A great football story too. Gignac was like the Darren Bent of France - put up decent numbers at his best but nothing special. Then in 2015 at the age of 30 he moved to Mexico to join Tigres and in the six years since he has subsequently become their all time top goalscorer, led them to four titles (they only won three before), scored the winning goal in their equivalent to the Champions League making them continental champions for the first time ever, and now just sent them through to the FIFA Club World Cup Final where they should play Bayern Munich.

He could have gone to West Brom or Stoke in 2015 and plodded around in a relegation battle but instead is playing in front of mammoth crowds, worshipped by the supporters, became a legend and still earning hefty wages too. More players should consider taking these opportunities.
Cheeky bid?

Maybe a swap with Martial.

No he wasn’t

The Chairman said he was going to eat their next opponents, because he was in good form etc. And the press deliberately twisted it and all hell broke loose.

We could have had Shilton in the mid 70's but for the board baulking at the extra £50 a week he wanted.

Ed would have insisted on paying him an extra £100.
