Javier Hernandez – Goal of the Season

OK. So I know the season hasnt really started yet, but the Charity Shield is officially known as the curtain raiser on the new season, and this years game was Chelsea vs Manchester United.

Now in the UK, not many teams have been buying or selling players apart from Manchester City, and thats cos they are bankrolled by a load of Arab Billionaires. So, with fewer transactions going on, the ever canny manager of Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson has bought a new, young, Mexican centre forward by the name of Javier Hernandez.

Back in Mexico he is known at ‘Little Pea’. Over here – well, Mr Ferguson has found a player who doesnt just score goals…..(adopts Jeremy Clarkson dramatic pause and voice)…..he sets them up too.

Have a look at this – its goal of the season in any country, in any league, in any year.

Although where I come from – we just call this a ‘Chadwick’

Regular followers of this blog (both of you) wont be suprised to know that I have been to Glastonbury a few times. Four times in fact, until the washout one year when the entire Pyramid stage sunk into the ground, and my tentpoles snapped in half. After that I began to think I was too [...]
