Enjoy our selection of the 50 best we've featured so far, courtesy of the miracle of YouTube...

10) Worst ghost goal ever

Everyone's seen the bizarre Reading goal at Watford, given despite crossing the touchline a good two yards wide of the goal. But this one from Germany, awarded to FC Duisburg in a match against FSV Frankfurt, is just as logic-defying.

9) Shteve McClaren speaks Dutch

Yes, you've seen it so many times before. But did people boo when Frank Sinatra sang 'My Way' for the 93,648th time? Best bits? "Liverpool or Arsenal, I thought maybe one of them we would draw, and it is Arsenal, I think." An the magical way he strugges for words in his own native language as he says: "I say, erm, I think we are not just, what you call, underdogs, we are masshive underdogs."

8) Female reporter meets player close-up

Pitchside reporting is a dangerous business. But while anyone colliding with Sky's Nick Collins would simply bounce off his enormous moustache, this Spanish journo isn't so lucky.

7) Happy Evra After

Now this is truly bizarre. It's Patrice Evra, before his Manchester United days. appearing to do a Chris Tucker impression while saying incredibly rude things about Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Frank Lampard and a cat. You've got to watch this. Warning: Strong language.

6) Gary Neville prank call

More strong language here as the Old Trafford Chuckle Brother tears a strip off a youngster who's acquired his phone number from a school mate. As becomes apparent, quite a few of the lads mates appear to have been phoning Gary and disturbing him from his normal duties of burning Beatles records, throwing darts at pictures of Stan Boardman and shouting whenever John Bishop comes on the telly.

5) Fergie talks gibberish

Sir Alex Ferguson had clearly been enjoying himself at the races when the cameras caught up with him. What follows makes more sense than he usually does...

4) "I no speak England very very well mate"

We love Manchester United's Anderson. Not only does he look vaguely like Rolf from The Muppet Show, but this interview with MUTV, in which he bravely speaks English despite not being very good at it, is a classic in which he names "Ass Brown" as one of his team-mates and declares: "I am big prove".

3) A quiet night in Liverpool

One of the few good things about England in the 2010 World Cup, this brilliant clip shows Phil Thompson, live from a function in Liverpool, telling Sky how proud everyone on Merseyside is to see Scouser Steven Gerrard captain England. "It's been a great night, everybody's enjoyed it," says the Concorde-beaked pundit. Well, perhaps not quite everybody...

2) Tornado hits game

What are the worst conditions you've ever played football in? Gloves-on cold? Bit of drizzle? Have a look at this from Japan. We think the match might just have been abandoned.

1) Fainting commentator

Brazilian TV pundit Bastista takes a deep breath around 0:28 of this bit of post-match analysis. What happens next is truly shocking. Luckily, he was OK.
