I was thinking exactly the same thing the mans mental strength is just amazingInteresting the amount and ratio of away goals from Harry compared to some of those bully-boy home boys
Goals FH SH FS LS H A Alan Shearer 260 117 143 88 96 173 87 Wayne Rooney 208 95 113 73 71 114 94 Andrew Cole 187 70 117 52 62 104 83 Sergio Aguero 180 88 92 59 43 104 76 Frank Lampard 177 76 101 55 66 92 85 Thierry Henry 175 82 93 54 61 120 55 Robbie Fowler 163 86 77 53 45 103 60 Jermain Defoe 162 56 106 46 68 96 66 Michael Owen 150 70 80 54 51 80 70 Les Ferdinand 149 73 76 58 51 93 56 Teddy Sheringham 147 65 82 54 39 83 64 Robin van Persie 144 70 74 51 53 77 67 Harry Kane 137 59 78 49 41 66 71 FH = First half, SH = Second half, FS = First scorer LS = Last scorer H = Home, A = Away.
how many managers of color are there? I'll give you the answer - 0/0
The difference between Defoe's could possibly be justified by his appearances as a substitute during his career and later career especially IMO.Interesting the disparity between Henry's home and away goals and also Defoe's first and second half goals.
Kane is picked because he is white and nothing to do with all the goals he scores! Alright then!You're entitled to your opinion and I definitely anticipated the reaction that I got from that single post - full of rage and hate. It was expected yet I'm going to point out what I see as unjust.
Answer me this, should Kane have played in last year's CL final? Putting clearly unfit Kane for a full 90 in at the expense of someone like Lucas who was fit and got the team there in the first place was absolutely shocking. I can't think of another explanation for that decision other than the explanation I gave in the post that got so much hate. Yes, I believe race/ethnicity/nationality does play a role here - you can agree or disagree.
Going off topic, I'm glad Harry looked better this past weekend. I'm hoping he continues to get better and helps the team quality for next seasons CL but would also like to see him have to fight for his spot in the line-up like everyone else on the squad.

Edit - looks like my yellow turned you Red! bye bye troll
Flick through the Son thread and you'll find out.Well who the hell is he then? And what's he doing here talking such drivel?
He has publicly backed working with Jose; he is interested in the 200; gets paid a stackload and the team is built around him: literally no reason to go anywhere. It’s just bored journalists jealously wanting him for their preferred team.Kane recently said about getting 200 Premiership goals which means he is not considering going abroad. That limits the clubs he can go to. As a Spurs supporter and with Spurs mates I would hope that rules out Chelsea and Woolwich. That just leaves the 2 Manchester teams and Liverpool.
Jesus you're right. And he's not the only one. It's full of blinkered fanboys and trolls.Flick through the Son thread and you'll find out.

He said it with his own mouth. Don't kid yourself mate, he will want to move if the club doesn't match his ambition.
It's not as easy for him to leave as some make out we built a team and Levy a marketing strategy around him. His own agents handlers have sold him as "The one of our own". He can't down tools and sulk his way out like Bale, its left him little wriggle room and has effectively made him hostage to the worlds worst kidnapper. It's a simple case of pay 180 million up front or else.He said he was in favour of Jose etcetera more recently...I guess time will tell but it’s all moot until a £200m bid comes in, anyway, let’s be honest -and he’s under contract till the end of time, pretty much.
However, it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out (assuming he stays, otherwise it’ll be awful (unless we spend the money wisely...)

I don't think the issue is with Jose. The issue is with the club and the crap signings we make. If we have a summer where we sign the likes of Fraser, Hojbjerg, Aarons etc then he will feel we are no closer to winning a major trophy when other teams are much stronger and will improve further
That would be a dream summer for 2020.... seriously, I'd be very happy and surprised if that happens.
Agreed: it’s really hard to judge where he stands. I err on the ‘glass half-full’ side of things where he is backed into an interview corner, has to answer, and only wants to move for the perfect move.I don't think the issue is with Jose.

You will be in a minority
