Agreed about the Molby goal… Certainly a great effort, but never stood a chance of living up to the hype.
Listen… when you consider how fat the guy is, the fact that he managed not to die between getting the ball in his own half on the sideline and the edge of the area where he let the shot fly…. it’s a fucking impressive goal, alright?
Disclaimer: Molby is one of my all-time heroes, and I shall never hear a bad word spoken (or typed!) about that midfield mountain of Danish bacon-and-booze brilliance
If that were an Arsenal player it would be described as “magical, transcendental, and ball-draining-knee-bucklingly-orgasmic.”
