Heard on 5live yesterday that he wanted one goal to become West Ham’s leading top division scorer. On the news this morning they’re making a big deal of it........Another 200 and he’ll catch Geoff Hurst up.........when was it when football started?

HE’S WEST HAMS ALL TIME pl TOP SCORER
You could argue Di Canio was their Premiership top scorer and he was their Premier League one already..
I take my hat off to him
Outstanding display last night
He’s a bull of a bloke - strong- fast and scares defences to death and a fan’s favourite 🤩
We’d all love a player like that in our team!! ⚽️⚽️
He comes across as a top bloke as well.
Really pleased to see him doing well.
The Premier league is a brand which they and Sky have always touting.Quote:

I doubt Geoff himself is best pleased with it all.
I doubt Vic Watson with 326 goals is pleased Geoff Hurst gets all the praise eitherQuote:

Did they actually say the top division or did they say the Premier League?Quote:

I thought the same thing when I was watching the post-game yesterday. NBC switched to Sky coverage for a bit. I mean good on him, but it's like Sky is trying to "cancel" football before 1992. He seems like a good bloke but all that fuss about 49 goals in 6 seasons is ridiculous.Quote:

It may be of interest to note that we've had 5 players who have scored 5 or more goals in the PL for us. Frazier Campbell netted 6. The other 5 were midfielders or defenders (Mutch, Camarasa, Reid (rarely used as a striker) and Caulker).
Why did you reply ‘Yep’ to TLG then:shrug:Quote:

Who are? The people on the tv and radio that you already admitted you didn't watch and wouldn't argue against but are now arguing against? :hehe:Quote:
