agüero vs rooney

Hah, I didn't see Boxall's post. Only semi-misplaced faith.

rooney- pandered to, top team throughout, also hateful, disloyal & fat
Drogba- injured, shunted around, noble
Bent- unplayed, unloved, underrated, unlucky. Midtable teams supplying him
Lampard- a fucking midfielder, somewhat pandered to, constant in top team, somewhat hateful, corpulent
Ronaldo- hasn't been around for a while, constant in top four before that, somewhat hateful, not fat, a fucking midfielder, somewhat pandered to?

real life lols at drogba being categorized as noble.

i would seriously pay money for a dmac rothman's guide to prem footballers presented in such a fashion tbh.
Bent- unplayed, unloved, underrated, unlucky amazing.

Rooney 75
Bent, Drogba 73
Tevez 69
Berbatov 68
Ronaldo, Torres 66
Lampard 65

obv Ronaldo had the best goals/season. Torres prob would've been top as well if he'd come over a season earlier.

not totally sure it applies to Drogba but injured, shunted around, noble could absolutely describe some if not most of my fave all-time players

man i'm bored/unproductive/unloved at work today

can't decide if a 4.4bn budget adjustment in december will leave me with less time for this stuff or leave me fulltime at this stuff, otherwise i'd be tempted tbph

I think the lack of consistent 15-20 goal scorers is interesting ... Rooney's 75 goals would put him behind Messi, Villa, Forlan and Kanoute in Spain, Di Natale and Totti in Italy, Gomez in the Bundesliga. Injuries probably a factor - maybe Prem managers also more likely to bench apparently out-of-form strikers?

Aguero is only one goal behind Rooney despite being 18 in 2006.

Cristiano scored the exact same number of goals 09-11 in Spain as 06-09 in England.

My office is very slow today.

playing for a much better attacking team in spain tbf

Also englishes defenders allowed kick fuck out of more skillful players innit

yakubu scored 69 goals in five seasons to 2k8

A list of all 100/5 scorers would be interesting. Hasselbaink had 104 from '97 to '02 despite changing clubs twice.

yeah 100/5 club poll imo

There can't be very many. Loads of guys like Viduka or Heskey get there through longevity. Shearer, Andy Cole, Henry are my guesses. Fowler might've got there in four.

rvn in three and a week

Overestimated Fowler - 94 in 5.

not exhaustive but

Shearer 92-97 137
C Ronaldo 06-11 132
Henry 01-06 130
Messi 06-11 112
Villa 05-10 108
Eto'o 04-09 107
Hasselbaink 97-02 104
Forlan 04-09 102

Van Nistelrooy's injury came in the very middle of all those 20+ seasons so he missed out.

makaay 99-04

Les Ferdinand! 92-97. Wasn't expecting that one.

Kluivert 98-03 110

oh shit, is it league only? or all appearances?

league only, Kluivert OUT

also no second-tier leagues, I guess Makaay's OK despite one of those seasons at Bayern

Luca Toni (04-09) in, Batistuta, Rivaldo and Ronaldo out: not the best way to assess goalscorers.

Yeah maybe use no of games?

Di Natale needs twelve this season to do it (he already has four). I can't find Signori's career stats but he was capocannoniere in 93, 94 and 96; he must have done it.

and let's not forget Jardel doing it in three (97-00)

Boško Balaban 
1995–2000 	Rijeka 	97 	(31)

^that (awful) ad led me to this awful ad, which I'd completely forgotten

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB_9H4kSxws

Messi was on the ground after being fouled by José Callejón when Pepe appeared to deliberately tread on the left hand of the world player of the year. The referee booked Callejón but took no action against Pepe, who was on a yellow card.

The Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, who had been following the match on television, tweeted: "Pepe. What an idiot."

That drew a response from the retired former Real Madrid player Guti, who wrote: "I laugh at Rooney. There are plenty of saints – in heaven. If he wants to be a saint, he should set an example. Making mistakes is human."

twp....otm

guti also otm

Why does Agüero have a ü in his name, is it some sort of Motörhead thang?

ü is not Spanish?

U-diaeresis

Several languages use diaeresis over the letter U to show that the letter is pronounced in its regular way, without dropping out, building diphthongs with neighbours etc.

In Spanish it is used to distinguish between "gue"/"güe" and "gui"/"güi": antigüedad (antiquity), pingüino (penguin). This is also the case for the Nicaraguan demonym, Nicaragüense. Similarly in Catalan language,

"gue~güe" are [ɡe]~[ɡwe],
"gui~güi" are [ɡi]~[ɡwi],
"que~qüe" [ke]~[kwe],
"qui~qüi" [ki]~[kwi],

as in aigües, pingüins, qüestió, adeqüi. Also ü is used to mark that vowel pairs that normally would form a diphthong must be pronounced as separate syllables, examples: Raül, diürn.
