00:00And speaking of goals, just before we get to the halfway point of the show,

00:03have you got a favourite goal of the year, Mark?

00:06What's your personal Busquets winner?

00:08I have, but I'm going beyond the Premier League here.

00:12Le Mania Mal for Spain against France in the Euro 2024 semi-final.

00:19I remember that game because I wasn't watching it on TV,

00:22I was actually watching it on my mobile phone.

00:25I had a local non-league friendly that I was supposed to be working at,

00:29but kind of had one eye on the game.

00:33And it was quite funny because when the goal went in,

00:35it was everyone that was around me stopped and started watching the replays of it.

00:40And it was just, to me, it felt like one of those moments where,

00:43you know, when a young player just arrives, and we knew how good

00:47Emile was, you know, at La Liga, or he'd done it over the previous

00:50season and a half, two seasons.

00:52This felt like the moment when someone that could go on to become

00:56a genuine great over the coming years, fully arrived on the world scene.

01:01What about you, Jason? You got a favourite goal of the year?

01:05Yeah, I think it has to be Alejandro Garnaccio against Everton, doesn't it?

01:09I mean, just, that was this year.

01:12It would be that guy, that was last November, wasn't it?

01:14Wasn't that 2023?

01:16Timer's suit, man. Timer's suit.

01:18You've just, I know what you've done, Jason.

01:21You have not done your research properly,

01:23you've looked at the Pushcash award shortlist, you've picked one out,

01:26and you've expected to get away with it, haven't you?

01:30In my defence, I sorely cover the Championship,

01:37so the Premier League isn't exactly my strong suit, anyway.

01:42But yeah, I mean, if we're going beyond the Premier League,

01:45and if I'm not allowed to not look at last year, for some reason,

01:49in this annual recap, then I think it has to be Jude Bellingham, doesn't it?

01:55And we'll probably, I imagine, talk about it in the next section, anyway,

01:58but that goal to keep England in the Euros,

02:01that overhead kick, that moment,

02:05you know, just the ability to produce that from absolute thin air,

02:08to keep a dream alive,

02:10I don't think I've ever made a sound like that in my life,

02:13I don't think I ever will again.

02:15And while it might not be the best overhead kick that we've seen in the past,

02:18I don't know, let's say 12 to 18 months,

02:21yeah, you know, it's certainly still a truly special goal,

02:25so I'll go with Jude Bellingham.
