The best goal Arsenal has ever scored

Yep, the 1-0 against Norwich is the finest ever scored at the club. The transition, the movement, the understanding of space, Wilshere's absurd backheel flip, Giroud's equally absurd flick with the outside of his foot (he even let the ball bounce!), and Jack's perfect side-footed finish which left Ruddy no chance.

I defy anyone to name a better goal that exemplifies what the world know Arsenal for today. Which is to say, that goal is the most Arsene Wenger goal ever.

I'm assuming you mean team goal then? The kind that is an example of the team ethos under Wenger? I only say that because I've seen better goals (IMO), but they were individual efforts (Bergkamp v Newcastle, Henry v United, etc...). Not to downplay the goal from the weekend, though. Truly stunning stuff.

The best team goal is synonymous with the most Arsene Wenger goal ever, and for the true football fan, a great team goal will always be viewed in a grander light than that of individual brilliance. But speaking of individual brilliance, Wilshere's effort in that goal has him up there on that front too.

Sorry to have to out myself as a false football fan, but I am equally impressed by both kinds of goals.

As far as team play goes, the intricate flicks leading up to Wilshere's goal were wonderful, but do they really excel the breakout counterattack that ended in Arshavin's winner against Barcelona? An almost extra-sensory understanding among players was there in both instances. The nice thing is, I don't have to pick a favorite. I'm just enjoying the fact the list looks to get longer this year.

I think most of you were little then but that Michael Thomas' strike at the 94th min against Liverpool to win the 1989 league title was definitely mine.

Oh yeah that Arshavin's strike was well worth the 15 million quids.

We're not speaking in terms of importance here, simply quality.

After this strike by Kasami for Fulham yesterday - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GTaZEtAkH0 - Wilshere tweeted something like, "There goes my goal of the month award."

The FA just might be dumb enough to think Kasami's was better.
