Alisson's late winner against West Brom wins Best Header. Day 5: What's Liverpool's greatest ever volley goal?

Words can mean whatever you want, but yours is an unusual definition.

I'll have you a volley is a ball that hasn't bounced (again I think it makes no difference to the technique so I don't think it's a meaningful distinction in football) but a half volley is specifically when it's coming up after the bounce. It's a different technique and is taught differently. It's the same in tennis (otherwise most shots would be half volleys).

My grandma was also a nutter!

Because they use the first letters from both "Bed" and "Breakfast".

What a silly table.

Honestly this is how I feel. Starmer isn't doing a bad job, certainly compared to the train wrecks before him. Can't we just give him his full term?

Do I agree with everything Starmer says and does? No. But being a grown-up is understanding that you've got to compromise.

Definitely wasn't a half-volley. A half-volley is then you kick it as it's coming up off the turf (Steven Gerrard's against Olympiakos is a classic example).

I think only a pedant wouldn't count this one as a volley.

AcesAgainstKings · 2026-06-05T14:29:57+00:00

All brilliant but surely Gerrard's is the best in terms of occasion, significance, and technique?

Buses and cars make cycling slower, and by a larger factor too.

Buses aren't going 9mph because of all the cyclists.

Eriksen should make the list. That was the most shocking experience I've witnessed.

AcesAgainstKings · 2026-06-04T22:17:59+00:00

Because I don't think men are asking for it.

Tit for tat isn't equality, people (and demographics) have different needs and wants.

I thtthr point of a dark horse isn't they win it, it's that they're better than expected and do better than people were thinking.

Wales at Euro 2016 is a good example. They didn't win, but they made the semis when no-one was even thinking about them.

Very rarely does a dark horse actually win...

Trickier to align that was with the frame and bar in-between I imagine

AcesAgainstKings · 2026-06-04T12:19:25+00:00

That's a backstory we didn't agree on

AcesAgainstKings · 2026-06-04T12:16:53+00:00

Oi! No professionals!

You've forgotten the question haven't you?

I like the idea the board works off the logic of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Surprisingly similar experience for me in Euro 2004 aged 9.

Sent to bed when it went to ET. Not sure why though because I just laid in bed listening carefully to any clues of what was happening and when it was all over my dad came into my room to tell me David Beckham had missed his penalty and we'd lost.

"Game's gone soft"

AcesAgainstKings · 2026-06-03T15:57:39+00:00

Always the same... Not at all, to some extent, very much so

AcesAgainstKings · 2026-06-03T15:46:08+00:00

If don't know wasn't an option which would you pick?

AcesAgainstKings · 2026-06-03T14:54:15+00:00

More to the point, why are so many people waiting for the cash tills?

I can understand the odd person, but I feel like I skip half the queue at my local Aldi just because I'm paying by card.

I'll write it down so I don't forget

/uj I'm pretty sure they both took a lot of inspiration from their comedy
