Yeah I agree.... I'd hate to have one of those too short, too slow and too expensive centre forwards that's scored 36 goals in the last 2 seasons. 36??? Care to explain to me where you got that number from? Oh yeah, I know, you've included penalties, which were only taken by him in Sunderland. Had another player been designated to take those, how many goals would Defoe have?

There was me thinking they still needed to be scored (something our centre forward struggles with) and that they count as goals. Edited by kennybrowns leftfoot (13 Dec 2017 10.55am)
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

It's not fair to count penalty goals because not all strikers take penalties. And it's not 29 goals excluding penalties....not unless you count the Exeter City in the League Cup or his MLS goals

Hahaha I think you've picked the worst set of fans to have the 'penalties don't count' argument with. We're all very upset our £30 million striker hasn't got a '1' next to his goals scored tally this season, penalty or not!

You can't just pick and chose which goals count and which one's don't. A goal against lesser opposition does not make it any less valid. Messi and Ronaldo have scored plenty of goals against teams that are not in the top division, does that mean their records are less valid.

I'd prefer he retired. So he can stop bloody scoring against us.
Optimistic as ever |
