But isn't that because the league changed? No. The name changed. It was, and is still, the top flight of English football. Who administers the league, which TV stations show it and what it is called is irrelevant. I hope you'd feel the same as me if these 3 things change again in the future. It will still be the to division in English football. It's a Premier League record hence why the records are from the Premier League or Shearer would've been on 280+ I get what you're saying, but the record is what it is and there's no bullshit about it if we're talking just the Premier League right?

Yeah personally. Couldn't give a toss if xyz played for Bayern, there's only ever one league top scorer. Oh, I thought you were saying that’s what people remember generally, rather than just you personally, apologies. I think players want to win things and credit to Kane for going for a different experience late in his career. Don’t think beating Shearer’s pretend record is worth stopping for myself. Well it's a personal opinion, but I do feel like people would talk more about a league top scorer than just winning a bundesliga title. If he goes and wins the Champions League fair enough, but I just felt like it was the wrong move for him at this time.

Disagree massively. There was more to prove at Tottenham. Going to Bayern is the easy route. What could he do at Spurs? He can score 30 goals but Spurs have got zero chance of finishing in the top 4 with the money that is being pumped into 6 other teams. They will do well to finish 7th with or without him. Zero chance is a bit harsh. With Maddison and Kane they could've reigned a partnership like he had with Son who seems to be falling off massively.

Winning the Bundesliga is not exactly a feat of strength when you play for Bayern Munich. After last nights showing I don't think the manager will even be around long enough for them to prepare for winning a Champions Leauge. Sure money is great, but when you've earned as much as him in your career then maybe it's a bit silly to go to a club at the peak of your powers because of that and the fact it's a nice stadium? (New Spurs stadium is better) Alan Shearers record is talked about more than the Bundesliga. Call it a "bullshit fake record" (which it isn't) but it's a far superior achievement than winning the league with Bayern. I agree that winning the league wouldn't be a great feat at Bayern. But is it a better feat than finishing 8th with Spurs... And yes, it is a bullshit record. Shearer is the 4th all time highest scorer in the top flight in England. Kane is 19th I believe. If you think it's okay to reset the clock on records whenever you fancy it then Shearer's "record" will simply be deleted at that time. I bey Greaves thought his record would be hard to beat, I doubt he imagined it would be deleted. But isn't that because the league changed?

Bayern look crap. Maybe no trophy for Kane after all. I still don't know why he went to Bayern, such a strange transfer. 2-0 Leipzig. He's joining a team that have been in three Champions League quarter-finals in the last three seasons, and they will be pretty disappointed that they haven't gone further in that time. He's leaving a team that have been in three Champions League/European Cup quarter-finals since the inception of the European Cup in 1955. I've seen a few people bemused that he would leave Spurs for Bayern Munich, and I can't get my head around it. Measure the two teams by almost any marker that has any value in football (whether on or off the pitch) and Bayern are head and shoulders above Spurs. Nobody is saying that Bayern aren't a bigger club. It's just funny how when it comes to Harry Kane loyalty is never appreciated but stories of other players like Del Piero... Well "They don't make them like him anymore unfortunately!" Bayern is a bigger club, without question. But with Kanes circumstances it is surely the wrong club at this time.

Not much I’d imagine and it’s barely spoken about here and mainly is because he’s on the BBC and brings it up every two seconds. To be acknowledge as the leading goalscorer of any top league though surely is better than a league title?

It's a great move for him. Much though I love Matt le tissier, one of the most talented players, I have ever seen. He has shown he is not a Matt le tissier type, happy being the star player of a mediocre bunch, for his entire career. He's a David Beckham type, who is going to go to a massive club in a foreign country and show everyone, he is one of the world's best footballers . Would have literally been paid millions if he had stayed on easy street at Tottenham. But is going to go and prove himself, all over again, at the highest level. Good on him . Well done Harry. Disagree massively. There was more to prove at Tottenham. Going to Bayern is the easy route.

I don't understand the confusion as to why he'd go to a massive European giant who will win trophies and possibly the biggest trophy in Europe too. Great money, great stadium, great teammates. Oh, he might not be able to break a record that is a bullshit fake record in the first place. Winning the Bundesliga is not exactly a feat of strength when you play for Bayern Munich.

Can only think Levy would only sanction a move if it was to a non Premier League Club & Bayern were the only ones who came in with reasonable terms for Kane & Levy. Saw Shearer sat Smug on MoTD last night realising his Prem scoring record will remain intact & unchallenged for some time to come yet! Huge void for Spurs to fill I'm still hoping Kane returns and beats it. He definitely can do it, hopefully he doesn't stay at Bayern long.

Does anyone think it would be possible to actually move the titanic? Or is that a crazy notion due to it's size and weight? Impossible. It would be destroyed on an attempt, also I don't think the ship will even be there in a matter of 50 years as it will degrade away.

I've watched him the last 2 seasons every game and I can assure you that he is definitely a Premier League calibre player. He has an eye for goal, he's fast, holds the ball up well and his work ethic is incredible. He absolutely carried that Rovers team. Yes he is now Point is he looked very ordinary when he was here, absolutely no hint of the player he has become Yeah and that's completely fair to say.

For me he is the most technically gifted footballer of all time. Not the best player, but the most technically gifted for sure. The stuff he could do with the ball is freakish. I've only seen one other player control a ball in a similar way to him and that was Berbatov. I don't know how anybody actually gets that level of skill. Those very special human beings with that god given talent.

If only we could sign this guy. I work at Rovers and spoke with him multiple times about Stoke. He only speaks highly of the club and city and he is a fantastic player and runs his bollocks into the ground. Off to Villarreal last I heard about it, but it's gone quiet over there so not sure what the situation is now.

Well I'd question how he will perform at that level with everything that's happened with him. Curious if Bruno will play more advanced than him. Could turn out to be a really great signing, I would have imagined Utd would've looked at other options than a 30 year old Eriksen though. Frenkie De Jong is meant to be joining so they have. Another lovely footballer. I think Eriksen brings a maturity that Pogba and Ronaldo don't have. A team ethos that neither have. And is the complete opposite of them completely. Willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the team. He's a fantastic player and a fantastic pro. Something they're missing. He is in a similar mould to players they have rid of though right? I mean Pogba I agree with the maturity sides of thing, but he is an unreal player. I think with De Jong that will change the way they play more than an Eriksen

Why? He's a fantastic player and Man Yoo need all the fantastic players they can get. He's a class footballer and works his socks off. He's exactly what they need isn't he? I agree he's a fantastic player but him, Bruno, De Jong and even Van De Beek are all slight variations of the same player, if they put 3 of those in the same team they'll get smashed week in week out. They need a top class striker, a top class defensive midfielder and a top class quick defender. They had Juan Mata and Paul Pogba. They had problems at that point and they've replaced them with a similar player. Eriksen is a great player, but I don't think he's going to make massive changes to their team.

The arrogance thing is just bullshit. And anyone misunderstanding it’s coming home is just weird. It’s a self deprecating song about the daft hope we have despite their not being much reason for it. And personally I totally agree with you. But other people don't seem to look at it the way "most" English people look at it and it almost comes across as motivation.

Something that has been talked a lot lately with the past few England games and it has got me thinking. I made a post a while back about when Arnautovic was coming to the Brit with West Ham and I was saying how booing him would be ineffective. He received a lot of shit and as far as I can remember he ended up ripping us apart and performing hammer signs to the crowd.
It's clear to me that the treatment we gave him motivated him and thus he ended up helping his team. Would we have won the game or not if we didn't treat him this way? I don't know, but there's evidence to my point.
Now with the England games and the excessive "It's coming home" / Rio Ferdinand comments “If I was England, would I rather play Spain or Italy? It doesn’t matter, England take care of both of these teams. England are better than both of them.” / Booing of national anthems. There's a lot of attention there and a lot of "Arrogance" that's perceived by opposition fans/players. The question is are we just motivating opposition and not doing ourselves any favours? It's great to be excited and cheer and sing about it coming home, but where do we draw the line? Is this something that we get unnecessary stick for and other nations do the same or are we simply just too much.
Tonight was annoying as fuck having to watch Bonucci shout "It's coming to Rome" through my TV screen and see Chiellini posing with the trophy with the exact same caption. Sometimes I feel we shoot ourselves in the foot. Something that was fun is now just painful and is just taken by them into "It's coming to Rome"
I don't know where I'm going with this anymore as I'm drunk, but thought I'd share the thought. Grazie! Uh I mean thanks.

Was watching the Leeds game and saw this guy score an incredible goal and it came to me that I remember him being talked about on here by another poster. That his family knew him or something? Or that it was some sort of relative and he went through the MLS system... Anyway I googled him and yep seems like it's the guy! Cracking goal, looks like he has bags of pace too.
