2010-11, in review: Goal of the season (poll)

Cue the golazos.

Day 4 of our end of season polling brings with it one of the more popular offerings of each summer, goal of the season. Perhaps there is not a headline favorite as in previous seasons – Essien v. Barcelona in 2009, Drogba v. Bolton in 2010 – but that’s not to say there aren’t several fine candidates.

We’ve selected eight choice cuts from which you can choose. Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou – yes, Salomon Kalou – each placed two goals on our list. Ramires and David Luiz received nods in their first season at the club, very impressive. They are joined by a righteous volley (Yuri Zhirkov) and a free kick (Alex) that has been mentioned numerous times in this space, always in the same breath as a Greek deity.

Of course your favorite may not have been mentioned. If so, feel free to write it in.

You know the drill by now. Vote now, vote often. When you leave the booth, drop us a line in the comments explaining your selection. This one, I believe, should be quite interesting.

If you need a refresher, have a visual look at the nominees below. Do enjoy.

  • Alex all the way. Though that one is not quite as good as the one against Liverpool a couple years ago...

  • I've been waiting for this comment.

  • To me, Kalou's Birmingham goal is the complete package. Great dribble, creates space, unstoppable strike. Drogba at Bolton a close second.

    I'll vote and comment on the main stuff in a sec, but did anyone read Van Persie's tirade about us "bitching"? As if freaking Arsenal is a team to talk regarding bitching about officials and decisions.

    BEst goal just on its own would have to go to Drogba v Bolton or Alex's free kick. But when considering the circumstances of the player, timing, and opponent, Luiz's goal v United has to be goal of the season.

    Drogba- Arsenal, dont know if hw meant it to go that way or we just stumbled with the ball, but it looked classy, and double points for the Michael Jackson-like celebration.
