I didn't say I agreed with the tweet. I was purely pointing out the thread and it's comments. 

The stats show he's England's top scorer. End of.

However...as shown on this thread and others, it causes debate. 

Kane has scored the most for England. 

People debate whether he's England's ' greatest ' goalscorer. 

Which is nigh on impossible to for everyone to agree on. 

There seems to be loads of posters on here who dont know the difference between FACT and OPINION (not you spud)

simple way to show them

FACT = Kane is Englands top goalscorer

Opinion = Kane is Englands Greatest goalscorer

Very difficult to compare eras, the Jimmy Greaves, etc back in the day would last about 10 mins in todays game as wouldnt be fit enough, so many variables to consider when saying who the best is.

But IF Jimmy Greaves was playing today

would he not be training like modern players Eating like modern players so making him a fitter player than he was back then 

Nice to see big Dunc get his first win

Let him finish his apprenticeship at FG before he takes over from Pearson

and takes us the the Prem

I’m going to say something potentially divisive but I think the standard of defending is higher now generally. Defenders are more composed and can play even at “lower” international levels. The pace of the game is a lot quicker too so have to factor that in.

As for not allowed to defend, I think that’s a common trope that’s rubbish. What you don’t see so much of us CBs (in particular) putting in big tackles like they may have done (I’m think the likes of Terry, Campbell, Adams) and that’s because their positioning is generally much better.

Maldini I believe once said, if I have to make a tackle, I’ve already made a mistake.

Cant agree with all of what you have said

but Good post

Just renewed 

Didnt know it had run out!!

Like to see this list without penalties. 

Penalties count as goals dont they?

Not a fair comparison table IMO.

More penalties given these days - and when they were, defenders used to take some of them.

Also Defenders can

(a) No longer defend properly

(B) Are not allowed to defend as football is becoming a none contact sport

If any one had seen all those play

My money would be on them saying

Greaves and Charlton

For me Shearer and Lineker

It was a def handball to prevent a goal. So he had to be sent off. As for Mitrovic, he should be band for months not games for that threatening behaviour.

I agree he should have a real long ban

but as i said in another post

Bruno should also have been done for pushing the linesman v Liverpool

Which they might miss.

If the red card rule wasn't in place you'd have loads of hand balls on the line with players knowing they can stop a certain goal with no punishment and the keeper may save a penalty.

Red card every time.

Yes they might miss it but it is still an opportunity

For me it is a penalty but should only be yellow

Not sure how anyone could say it wasn't a penalty, its obvious.

Also, if the ref gives the penalty, the player has to have a red card for stopping a goal scoring opportunity, thats pretty obvious as well.

As for Mitrovic, he's just a **** who's cost them the game.

This is where the rule is wrong

Sent off for stopping a goal scoring opportunity BUT they are given a penalty so still have that opportunity

Nice to see Bruno turn up again when all is going well

Biggest C### in football (and that takes some doing)

Mitrovic what a plonker 

Mitrovic touches the ref =Red Card which is the correct outcome

Man Utd V Liverpool game Bruno pushes the linesman = Nothing

Spinless refs v the big clubs

I've been to lots in France with Marseille being my favourite for atmosphere and an interesting city, just don't wonder down the wrong street/district

In Spain I preferred Valencia to Barcelona 

Yeah the Mestalla is at the top of my wish list

Estadio da luz in Lisbon is a great night

It should be as simple as

Shot which would go into the net =Shot on target

Shot which would miss the goal =Shot

Rocket science it is not

First game i ever went to was also nil nil

1977 v Villa

That might stop the egg chasing fans saying 

Why dont the England football team show any pride in the shirt like the Rugger boys do Ha Ha Ha Love it

No I don't think it is about the money for him. Its about the principle and he believes he is worth 70 percent of the purse and I struggle to disagree with him. I highly doubt that 30% of the crowd will be supporting Usyk and I highly doubt that 30% of the PPV will be buying it cos of Usyk. Fury is the poster boy. 

Joshua won't fight him. 

Joshua wont fight anybody who might beat him

Doesn’t make it ok to basically say all Latinos (or anyone who looks or sounds like they might be) are cheats

Latinos are not cheats They are very good at gamesmanship
