Where does Billy Sharp rank?

If we go up it looks almost certain that Sharp's 100th league goal for us would be in the Premier League.

That would be his first ever top flight goal at the age of 33.
 
He hasn't played in eight Steel City Derbies.

The list shows 6, so probably just a typo.

1/ Saturday January 19, 2008 (A) Lost 0-2
2/ Tuesday April 8, 2008 (A) Drew 2-2 (o.g. & Beattie)
3/ Sunday October 19, 2008 (A) Lost 0-1. Subbed.
4/ Saturday Feb. 7, 2009 (H) Lost 1-2. (Our goal scored by Lupoli).
5/ Friday Nov. 9, 2018 (H) 0-0. Played full game.
6/ Monday March 4, 2019 (A) 0-0. Played full game.

(Sunday Sept. 24, 2017 (A) Won 4-2. Unused sub. Friday Jan. 12, 2018 (H) 0-0. Unused sub.)
 
O-kaaay... I put:

'Despite playing in eight ‘Steel City Derbies’, Billy has yet to score in one – or play on the winning side.'

Substitute 'playing' with 'being named in the squad' in eight Steel City Derbies?

Well going by your logic he has been on the winning side.

You can't have it both ways.
 
I don't know why I fucking bother. I should coco has laid out the details here.

Would you be kind enough to say how it should be stated to meet with your approval?

Just state the fact as it actually is.

It's not hard.

Billy Sharp has played in six Steel City Derbies but has never scored in one, or played on the winning side.
 
If Glen Murray can keep doing at age 127 or whatever he is Billy can certainly have a good season
I'd be happy with ten though, as long as Moussett, Robinson, and our other striker get 10 also.
 
I thought Billy might be on for some kind of record next season but it turns out that Graham Alexander holds the record for the oldest player to score a debut Premier League goal.

He scored for Burnley in 2009 three weeks before his 38th birthday.
 

I'm going for:
CKR 1
Morgan 1 (would you believe he had more Prem goals than Sharp).
Gillespie 2
Quinn S 2
Tonge 2
Webber 3
Nade 3
Jagielka 4
Stead 5
Hulse 8
Possibly an og in there to make up the 32 we scored.
 
Billy looks about 14 against QPR but perfect hat trick, header, right foot, left foot.
