My heart actually skipped a beat when I saw this in the shops this morning.

It's great, the English language. I can look at that and sigh "What a fucking wank-fest". And Rogin can do exactly the same thing. Yet what we both mean is so, so different.

Bravo, EIM.

You have to admit, in terms of absolutely incredible goals, this is going to be a bit of a special compilation. Not many of Gerrard's 100 have been tap-ins from 3 yards out.

No confirmation yet that one of the 100 is his headed own-goal against Chelsea in the 2005 League Cup Final, arguably one of the most precise "TOP CORNER!" ones of the lot.

I don't think any have been incredible. All of them, or nearly all of them, have been preceded by the dull ache of inevitability.

I think it's a clever title, as well. "Centurion". It alludes to the 100 goals, obviously. But a "centurion" was one who commanded 100 men, about the same number of team-mates Gerrard's played with as captain since Rafa Benitez took over.

It's also a tank, which is what Gerrard does to most of his shots.

They should release 'Cohort', which shows the 900 efforts that sailed far and wide.

that would be fantastic. I don't have anywhere near enough coasters in my flat.

Quite a few have been from 12 yards out, though. They can get a bit boring.

This is the best thread in ages.

My first thought was that Steve looked a little Crouch alphabet there. "R" maybe?

That'd be Rino Gattuso. Don't know if that bit's on the DVD until Santa brings it.

I confess I saw this advertised in the current issue of FourFourTwo a week or so ago, and didn't say anything. I was waiting for it to pop up on here at some point though.

The question is Rogin, whilst Steven Gerrard's goal is a very good one, do you really want to watch one bloody hundred replays of it?

I was discussing with a colleague how long it would take before a 'Jamie Carragher: Centurion' DVD could be released, and we decided probably around 1/5 of the time Gary Neville would have to play to get his own brought out (conservative estimates on this one would have him retiring around the age of 763).

That museum pic above... in the age of replica shirts, that must be the most boring exhibition of all time.

That's no museum. That's his house.
