    This has genuinely answered a question that I have had for years.

    When Charlie Austin scored all those goals for QPR and still finished last I thought that has to be some kind of record. I couldn’t quite think of how to word the question and never found the answer.

    Now you have found the answer so thanks!

    Wonder who is going to snap Toney up? Fair few teams that could use a quality PL proven striker.

    Like fair play to Charlie Austin because that QPR side was miserable- there are plenty of strikers in teams in the Top 4 don’t get to 18 goals. It’s the bottom half of the table that impresses me the most in some ways.

    Harry Kane 😭 It’s crazy how it’s only now he plays for Bayern some people realise how good he is, he’s played for some shit Tottenham teams but always played at a elite level

    Also Alan Shearer was a menace, it’s incredible how consistent he was

      Definitely seems in hindsight they were always set up more defensively and too comfortable to rely on him for moments of magic. Maybe if they’d played more on the front foot they could have maximized his use, won more matches 3-2 instead of 1-0.
