Jules needs to pick again, Pickles already had 74.

Nick, as long as it's reputable source (ie daily national newspaper or similar, we should be OK).

Caveats are intended to cut out crap like Tribalfootball or random message board WUMs.

[alilaw]

As a bloke at work has just pointed out, for someone who's having a shyte season according to the mongy british media, Rooney's 11 goals in his last 12 games aren't all that bad eh?

[Pickles]

Including 3 in 2 against Roma and 2 against Milan. Not toooooo shabby.

[Ryno]

I'll say 62.

He's scored more than Ronaldo this season

[mark g]

While he's on a good run goalscoring wise, i don't think it's mongy to suggest he's been some way below his best this season, or that even during his goalscoring run that his general play hasn't been up to his usual standards.

Let's not promise what we can't deliver. If the original cut out was accurate, a master carpenter couldn't sort that out.

Well overall he did have a sub standard season.

His form did improve lately in the few games but he still fecks up too often. Look at Everton and how many golden opportunities he missed. (although they were all excused by the sheer calmness for his goal).

you started it tbf asking for what the prize was

[alilaw]

I wonder what SMG's position on Ruud is...

[Nick OGS20]

he's not had that bad a season. there was a bit of an obvious carry-over from the ridiculous way he was rushed back for the world cup, a couple of dips in form which every striker goes through and he's been overshadowed to an extent by Ronnie and other players. what's really important here for me is that it's how young players react to setbacks and periods of below-par form that is crucial, and he's come storming back in the last month or so with brilliant performances in all competitions, right when we've needed him to do so.

23 goals so far with a bagload of assists is a career season in pure statistical terms too, and while i appreciate stats don't tell the full picture, i certainly feel that some of the bad press he's had this season has been way over the top.
