Thought it would be an idea to start a thread where you post with it being 25 years since the Premier League started with the following questions:

• The best player you've seen from the last 25 years
• The most controversial moment that you've seen from the last 25 years
• The best games that you've seen from the last 25 years
• The best goals you've seen from the last 25 years
• The best moment of the Premier League in your opinion
• The worst moment
• Your ultimate Premier League XI
• Funniest moment
• A sending off that stands out for you

You can include YouTube videos for this as we relive your highlights of the Premier League from the last 25 years.

 

Thanks.

Good idea for a thread Mack!

 

 

[*]The best player you've seen from the last 25 years

 

Cristiano Ronaldo for me. Although Ruud Van Nistelrooy is an honourable mention

 

[*]The most controversial moment that you've seen from the last 25 years

 

Paulo Di Canio pushing a referee over

 

[*]The best games that you've seen from the last 25 years

 

Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham 2016

Manchester United 6-1 Arsenal 2001

Leeds 4-3 Liverpool 2001

Man United 5-3 Newcastle 2002

Newcastle 2-6 Man United 2003

 

Out of the matches that I've seen live these are the ones that stand out.

 

[*]The best goal you've seen from the last 25 years

 

It's hard to pick one but I would go with Charlie Adam's goal against Chelsea in 2015

 

 

[*]The best moment of the Premier League in your opinion

 

For the league as a whole it would be Leicester winning it in 2015/16 against the odds.

 

[*]The worst moment

 

Sergio Aguero's goal in the 93rd minute against QPR in 2012

 

 

[*]Funniest moment

 

A bird shitting in Ashley Young's mouth :lol:

 

 

[*]A sending off that stands out for you

Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer both getting sent off for fighting each other on the pitch even though they were teammates

 

 

 

 

I will list my ultimate 11 in a separate post.

Nice idea!

 

The best player you've seen from the last 25 years

Ronaldo for me. I only started properly getting into football about 10-12 years ago just as he was turning world class so a lot of great memories & moments spring to mind. Giggs & Scholes of course are worth a mention but their best periods were before I was an avid football follower.

 

The most controversial moment that you've seen from the last 25 years

Cheating a bit as this is a series of moments but basically Luis Suarez - the bite, the racism ban & then the refused handshake, it was seemingly a neverending saga. The other obvious one is the Cantona kick...

 

The best games that you've seen from the last 25 years

The 4-3 derby with the last minute Michael Owen winner SHOULD be here but I was working during that match :arrr: so for games I saw live it would be the 8-2 against Arsenal (just for sheer brilliance) or taking my fan cap off the 4-4 North London derby in 2008.

 

The best goal you've seen from the last 25 years

Goodness where to start. I think I might have to go for the Cisse goal against Chelsea as it's the only one I can remember literally dropping my jaw at.

 

The best moment of the Premier League in your opinion

When we won our last title with the 3-0 win against Villa that was such an amazing night as I was in my last year of Uni too so the party that night was quite spectacular! Of course from a COMPLETELY impartial view it kinda has to be *that* goal the season before. No wait, Leicester winning the league of course!

 

The worst moment

See the second sentence above. Or the 6-1 earlier that season. Or even the 4-0 to Chelsea last year, that was a painful watch.

 

Your ultimate Premier League XI

Hmmm, I'll get back to you on that one :P

 

Funniest moment

When Kammy didn't know Anthony Vanden Borre had been sent off on Soccer Saturday. On the pitch itself? Not sure, the one I always instantly think of is Jimmy Bullard's pisstake celebration against City.

 

A sending off that stands out for you

Joey Barton against City (yes that game again sigh). Just to watch him completely lose it & nut a few City players was actually bloody hilarious.

 

Thought it would be an idea to start a thread where you post with it being 25 years since the Premier League started with the following questions:

 

I'll predict my answers to some of the questions as if they were asked next May :P

 

The best games that you've seen from the last 25 years

 

Brighton & Hove Albion 9-0 Manchester City 12 August 2017

 

 

The best goal you've seen from the last 25 years

 

Anthony Knockaert's goal to complete a hat-trick at Stamford Bridge in a 5-0 win for Brighton.

 

 

The best moment of the Premier League in your opinion

 

Brighton winning the title in their first season in the Premier League

 

 

The worst moment

 

Crystal Palace getting a point in March, thereby avoiding being the first team to finish a Premier League season on zero points.

 

:D

 

Most of my moments will be from the late 90s, as that's the main time when I had a knowledge of what was going on -

The best goal you've seen from the last 25 years

- An obvious one, but David Beckham scoring from the halfway line

 

The best moment of the Premier League in your opinion

- As above

 

The worst moment

- The referee wrongly sending off Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, thinking that he's Marcel Desailly

 

Funniest moment

- Shay Given conceding from a goal kick, because he doesn't realise that Dion Dublin is right behind him!

- Has to be DiCanio pushing the referee.
