Twenty years ago this month.
Here are the BBC's Goal of the Month contenders from October 2006.
Those were, if I may say so, the days.

On Arsene Wenger’s birthday, a reminder of his epic battles with his arch-nemesis.
We’re not talking about Sir Alex. We’re not talking about Jose. We’re talking about that bastard zip on his big winter coat...

"Arsene Wenger is emerging as a would-be successor, the only person in a limited field capable of restoring cachet and credibility to the office Infantino has so disgraced..."
As the clock ticks down to the president of Fifa running unopposed for a fourth term, @oliverbrown_tel pleads for Arsene Wenger to declare his candidacy now ⬇️

City have been found guilty of industrial level cheating by their sportswashing owners.
It will likely have catastrophic impacts on the Premier League and football in this country for an entire generation.
But I guess it’s all a big laugh.

This is sportswashing in action. Just ignoring the fact they've been found to have cheated for a decade and pretending everything is normal. Disgusting
Eclectic Football Interest retweeted
In no other scenario would a team be platformed like this after being found guilty of arguably the most highly orchestrated cheating scandal in sporting history.
You might call it an elephant in the room. This is actually 114 of them. They bring a few bananas, win a few games & MOTD talk like this? Shambolic.
The BBC's purpose is to ‘provide impartial, high-quality & distinctive output & services which inform & educate’. Is this anything resembling that? (No)
When we say sportswashing, this is it right here.

Just a reminder - the Saudi state conducted a mass execution this weekend including a young man who was arrested & executed for attending a demo when he was a child.
@NUFC Chairman Yasir al-Rumayyan is a govt minister & key regime figure.
Important that fanbase know the facts

Jack Grealish has once again shown his generosity, donating £1,400 to help a father battling cancer after coming across the family’s GoFundMe page while on holiday.
It’s far from a one-off. Earlier this year, Grealish donated £1,000 towards funeral costs for a grieving family, while in 2023 he gave £5,000 to support a young cancer patient. He also donated £5,000 to the family of a victim killed in a tragic crash in 2021.
He’s built a reputation for quietly helping people who need it, often without making a big deal of it.
A genuine class act.

No £80 replica shirts. No phones filming every second. No marketing telling you how special it all was. Nobody flying in from Singapore after paying £700 for a ticket.
Just lads getting there hours early and queuing forever at the turnstiles. Cold hands, muddy terraces, and all that mattered was bagging your spot on the wall. Football when it was simple. 👏🏻👏🏻
