SMTW Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Pisses me off when people say "I could never dream of being England's all time leading goal scorer." Bollocks. I've dreamt that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Pisses me off when people say "I could never dream of being England's all time leading goal scorer." Bollocks. I've dreamt that... All of my dreams and hopes revolve around Newcastle. England is a distraction most of the time, during the finals of the Euro's or World Cup it's more entertaining, but Newcastle are always ahead of them.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Wiki suggests Rooney's scored more goals than Lineker managed. Can't be that much difference if any at all in Lineker's favour.

Astroblack Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 We looked good second half. Congrats to Wayne for the landmark. Great play and finish from Kane. He may not be scoring for Spurs but he's involved in everything good for them this season, the goals will come. Also happy for Sterling winning that penalty in the manner that he did. Far too many times do I hear this moral thing with England. How we have to be saints, and all that. Fuck that. Win at all costs. Nice to have a cunt in the team. Especially one who knows he's a cunt.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Wiki suggests Rooney's scored more goals than Lineker managed. Can't be that much difference if any at all in Lineker's favour. Rooney also happens to have played in a club team that dominated the division for a massive part of his career tbf, Lineker most certainly did not.

Ronaldo Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 And Rooney isn't an out and out goalscorer, either. Man U used him as the workhorse of the team for years and to a large extent continue to do so. I know people dislike Rooney but come on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 i'm not on board with "fit to lace the boots" or anything mind, but if you'd put prime lineker in the manyoo teams rooney had played for he'd have scored a hatful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't saying Rooney isn't the better player, he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For England, Rooney has scored 2 more in 22 more games. In all games Lineker scored 330 in just over 600 games, that goals per game ratio is far higher than Rooney.

STM Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 All that means is that he's a better goalscorer, not a better striker and certainly not a better player. What the fuck are you on about. Goalscoring is part of being a player. Rooney's record is great and we'll done to him but he's never a better striker than Lineker, his England record changes nothing.

The College Dropout Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 50 goals for England is an excellent achievement, no doubt. Just 6 goals in finals tells a slightly different story though. Yep. Not sure why they're making it out to be a nigh-on unbeatable record, though. If someone like Kane steps up and starts banging in two or three when we play the likes of Lithuania, San Marino etc as well as getting a few in tournaments, it'll be passed easily. How many european players have over 50-60.. 70 goals at international level? David Villa managed 58. Klose is on 70 something. Cronaldo on 55. Rooney will top out closer to Klose than Villa. We will have to have some real success in the near future for someone like Kane to catch him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
