Statistically the chances of an academy player become the top league scorer must be lower than 0.001%

by Hapless_Hans Sun Mar 05, 2017 2:05 pm

Every league top scorer went to a academy SOMEWHERE

Spurs have conceded 5 goals all season at WHL hmm

Definitely finishing 2nd this year.

by RealGunner Sun Mar 05, 2017 2:15 pm

PL top scorers:

1: Kane - 18 goals

2: Lukaku, Sanchez - 17 goals

3: Costa - 16 goals

Sure, but the chances of that guy being you are super low.

Eh? What point are you trying to make? Laughing

Statistically speaking, only a very tiny fraction of kids playing football end up top players? Yeah well hard to argue with that Laughing

The point is that there's a legitimate claim to be made to be surprised you do this for a living, in response to RG's claim

I know. I was firmly planning on continuing to make an annual 'Kane one plus x season wonder' thread and poll but it seems like I might be drifting onto the wrong side of history there

Lukaku ruins a clean sheet and FPL players cry Smile

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Mar 05, 2017 3:21 pm

Dier is useless at CB. Should retire.

Spurs are like a nat at a BBQ. They won't go away.

not watching the game, just looked at the stats - seems like City are struggling? fairly even with Sunderland, City only had 1 shot in 40 mins

if Sunderland nick something :bow:

by Winter is Coming Sun Mar 05, 2017 4:39 pm

Sunderland hit post should be up.

Flawed agenda to begin with. Anyone who watched Kane in his first season knew he had the tools to be one of the best strikers in the world which he now is.

Best striker in the EPL since Thierry Henry

by RealGunner Sun Mar 05, 2017 7:29 pm

Not even better than Defoe
