Same as, I'm gutted Setanta has so many games this season...

Both of van Persie's goals today should be nominated. The play for the winner was cutting edge stuff, and the touch & finish was sublime.

The first was just a rocket freekick - absolute screamer.

Not seen any other goals from today's football though.

The Elano goals were supposed to have been good.

As of now the Van Persie free kick what a bloody goal!

Elano's first certainly. I missed the second goal.

Elano's firstgoal was beautiful!! Anymore goals like the 2 from last night and he is gunna need his own goal of the month competition!

Superbly worked header from Kevin Doyle Vs Derby.

Van Persie has it for me with his rocket goal at the moment ...wow ...decapitation alert ....


Just wondered how are we to decide what goals are nominated .....only 10 allowed in the poll .

Everyone nominates a goal, the 10 that go in the poll are the 10 most voted for now and then people vote on the 10 in the poll. Make any sense?

It does.

But here's where the debating starts:

I actually think van Persie's second was better than his first.

The pass from Eboué, the turn from Walcott, the supply from Walcott, the quick first touch and superb quick shot from van Persie to win the game. It's great attacking play and a class finish. The first goal was simple van Persie doing what he does on the training ground all the time.

no.....

you still pop down there then Jeremie?

Of course.

we have to remember that Goal of the Month is exactly that , we cannot include build up play or a pass from so and so . This is down to individual brilliance or creativity ....ie the second goal by Van Persie should only be include if it was deemed to be worthy due to his skills , not bacause of the pass or cross that led to his goal .

So ...a fantastic build up featuring 24 passes from one end to the other that results in a simple tap in for a player would not be classed as a goal of the month in my opinion .

That is why i would nominate Van Persie`s rocket goal better than his second ...good though it was .

A goal consists of more than just the finish! Build up play is essential when judging a goal in my view.

Robin's second was much better than the first. Even in terms of the finish for me.

Maybe a touch over exaggerated but it was a superb header.

Emre's rocket. Beaut.

Butt's was quite good as well I think.

Nicky Butt or Emre, both class in different ways
