This nonsensical rubbish about players beating the PREM goalscoring records in English football. There is no such thing as a PREM record, it is the same division that was created in season 1888/89. THE TOP DIVISION IN ENGLISH FOOTBALL, that was called the English 1st division for over a century, and is now called the Prem division, it has had 12 teams, 20 teams, 22 teams, but it is still the same league. THE TOP DIVISION IN ENGLISH FOOTBALL.
So can we stop with all the nonsense that Haaland is breaking records, he isn`t. He has what 35 league goals, the top division record is currently 60 held by one Dixie Dean, so he doesn`t hold that record. Same as Shearer does not hold the top division individual career record with 260 goals, that record is currently held by one James Peter Greaves with 357 goals.
If Haaland scores another 26 goals in his final five games then, and only then can he say he holds the record. Until then put the champagne on ice, and learn your history fella, and stop thinking you are the best goalscorer in English football of all time. You are not.
It`s an insult to all players, who played for 100 plus years pre 1992 to think their records are being air brushed out of football history, because Sky have brainwashed the football community into thinking football only came into existence with the name change of the THE TOP DIVISION IN ENGLISH FOOTBALL in 1992.
So just for now the two record holders are
Dixie Dean 60 goals in a season.
Jimmy Greaves 357 goals in the top division
Records are there to be broken, but as yet Haaland has broken none, and neither has Shearer.
It`s starting to make my blood boil

This is classic Sandy 🤣
Dixie Deans record was 63, Haaland is on 51. It’s going to be close Sandy, enjoy the ride 🥳
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dixie Dean scored 60 league goals which is what we are discussing. He also scored 3 FA Cup goals making 63 goals in 41 games. Haaland has only 37 league goals, and 51 in total from 45 games. He is already a long way behind Dean having played more games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't argue with facts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You kinda can.
The fact is Dixie scored his 60 goals in 39 league games in one season
No one here will ever know how many goals Haaland would have scored had he played in 39 league games in one season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well it wouldn't be 60 scored in 38 games Dean played in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m kinda talking the proverbial with my comment Sandy.

If I were Haarland and broken as many records as he has in his short time in football, I wouldn't give a feck knowing I'd broken more records than just this one!..
He's broken records everywhere he's played, and it wouldn't be good betting against him breaking more!..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LoL breaking records in Norway.

Sorry Sandy, but I find that comment really disrespectful to the likes of Jorgen Juve - Norways all time top scorer, 1928-1937. Show some class.

Norwegian football is on par with women`s football and the Scottish Premiership, so anything Jorgen Juve achieved is about the equivalent of the top scorer at my local dog and duck pub.

"LoL breaking records in Norway."
Says a lot when a player from a to some so called tin pot league is the top scorer in the supposedly best league in the World!..
Does that mean the best striker in your team ain't as good as you think he is?..
And your comments on the Women's game are a bigger load off balls than what you have in your trousers, so you shouldn't have any problems in your dog and duck pub!..

That's true. The women's USA world cup winning team lost to under 15 dallas boys team. Just a good boys team not lthe US u15s boys team.

Womens footy is garbage, lets not kid ourselves.
Amused me today to see Wolves goal of the season nominations and I nearly died laughing when 5 of the 9 goals were from the womens team ffs

Footballers are a lot better than they were 80 years ago. Dean's record may never be broken but was he as good as Henry, Haaland, Shearer? Doubt it!
