Can he get to 30?

[Spionkop69]

Dixie Dean scored 60 league goals in a season once. 82 in all comps if I remember rightly.

Love Martin Tyler, great commentary again on the mellor goal.

 

[mark1975]

There's a part missed in that where the camera pans to a distraught Wenger, almost as good as the goal itself.

He screams so much these days he makes my ears bleed.

Motson is worse.

Motson is worse.

His fawning over everything Rooney is embarrassing. 'ROOOOOOOOONEY!!!!'

I was thinking that myself - Those six crazy minutes were a bloody miracle! Pongolle, Baros and Mellor were our only strikers I seem to recall.

Didn't we have the "super talent" of a certain Spanish, cup tied, striker named Morientes at the time?

He was so useless does he even count?

Cisse

Cisse

Cisse did have a broken leg at the time. He only came back for the last game of the season v Villa just before the European Cup final.

 

[Silver Sean]

He always had a broken leg didn't he. But I remember he came on against Juve. Was he out all that season apart from the end?

 

[Red Astaire]

Yeah he was. I think he (as Spion said) came back the game before the CL final. He was touch and go for that as well. One of my memories from that special night is watching him as he was waiting to come on. He looked so pumped up he reminded me of a heavy weight boxer!

In case no one's mentioned it yet, yesterday's was Suarez's 50th goal for us.

Scored 2 against Villa (one pen?) in the game before the final

Yep. Barry scored for Villa that day.

[Dreambeliever]

Better than Torres 50 by far for me.
If he stays in the summer I can see his surpassing Fowler in my heart and I never thought a player could do that lest of all a non scouse one.

We are truly blessed to get to watch him every week. He's determination to win and workrate to back it up is nothing short of amazing for a striker.
