I've been teasing my Liverpool friend all day with Toulouse jokes.


On a separate note, played soccer again for the 2nd time in a month after not playing for 4+ years. Sprained my achilles :(. Turf field, trying to decide if I just change to flats or turf cleats...that turf field has like no give man
Man if you don’t switch to turf shoes…I had a nasty ankle sprain because I use actual boots on the turf. Dug in deep to the turf and rolled my ankle badly.

One of the best goals this season. To bang that in on the volley near post is kinda insane.
Two touch finish and that ball never touched the ground.

bundasliga that bad or kane that good?
Bayern is a machine but Kane is next level. Let’s not act like man was not bagging 25+ goals in all comps for like 10+ years at Spurs. But I need Xabi and Boniface to finish the mission

Kane dominated the scoring chart in the "best and toughest league in the world" for years. TFYM:gucci:

:mjlol:

13 van persie
14 suarez
15 aguero
16 kane
17 kane
18 salah
19 salah
20 vardy
21 kane
22 salah

In the last 10 years, suarez is the only striker that's clearly better than him, trophy or no trophy

van persie
aguero
salah

Firstly Van persie's 2012/13 golden boot year, Kane wasn't even a PL player at the time, he was still a youngster on loan to the championship. so that's invalid

The following season when suarez won it, that was kane's debut season where he only received 10 appearance, only 6 starts

2014/15, His first proper league debut season, He finished 2nd behind aguero on 21 goals to Kun's 26
2015/16 wins golden boot
2016/17 wins golden boot
2017/18 he finishes runner up with only 2 goals behind the golden boot winner, salah. 32 vs 30
2018/19 He finished with 17 goals in 28 apps vs salah's 22 goals in 38 apps, better goals to game ratio than the salah
2019/20 Another injury ridden season where He still bagged 18 goals in 28 apps vs Vardy's 23 goals in 35 apps
2020/21 golden boot
2021/22 statistically His only real down year since his full debut, He still finished only 6 goals behind the golden boot winner (s)
Last season He scored 30 goals which would have been enough to win it in most seasons

If we say MJ dominated the MVP award in his prime, it doesn't mean He won the award every single season. context is key when analysing data

based on that first line i'm ignoring the rest.

We got the 3 points while playing like trash. Nothing new.
Out front 3 can't score for shyt.
Hojlund was a terrible signing for now. 20 year old who is raw and clearly needs development. Sure spunk 70m on him and make him your number 1 striker option. ETH has completely failed when it comes to signings.

i think he has all the tools to succeed except one .. or two ..

1. his timing is off.

2. he doesn't strike the ball cleanly (he's like the anti-RVP).

he almost always scuffs his shots.
