RoyalX Snowball,

I know that you said Premiership only; I was trying to show that this (deliberately or otherwise) doesn't show the whole picture. I believe that you have previously used cup competitions and international appearances to justify your argument, which is good and you should continue to do - despite others' belief that these aren't important. Which is why I was disappointed not to see these here.



No, actually I have said in the past that cup goals are NOT valid, esp for RFC pre-McD
because we fielded joke sides.

In Cox's case, he got 3 of his goals in a single game against Championship opposition.

Having scored only 1 Prem goal EVER, that seems to indicate that the Championship is his level.

Long, OTOH has 13 Prem goals AND has scored a few against PREM opposition in cups (once McD started fielding real teams)

Oh okay, sorry I remembered incorrectly. Can I back Emiliano Insua in every Sporting Lisbon game at 100/1 with you then? I mean he's never scored a league goal...

I was just going to say that. People who use literally for literally everything should be shot. Quite literally.

Your quaint 1940's village insults are actually quite arousing.

Your memories of Barry playing in WC 2006 Qualifiers suggests that you're a lost cause and it probably would be your telephone banking PIN :mrgreen:

My telephone banking pin would be 'BIG FOOT WAS FIRST TO TELL ME LONG WOULD RE-SIGN' because I mixed up 2006 with 2008?

I'd take that retort back to the shop if I was you, I think it's broken.
