No. It's Fleck.Henderson isnt it?
Weird question. You seem him pass it over whenever Sharp comes on.
When Norwood came off against Norwich i was sure he was going to give it to Egan but 99% sure he ended up passing it to Fleck instead.No. It's Fleck.
Yep and Norwood was captain on SaturdayIn this order:
Sharp
Norwood
Egan
Basham
Wow, only taken three seasons for your prophesies of doom about his career to get anything like close.
”The dog is looking a bit old now darling.”Sharp won’t be using it much in future. He’s got a handful of substitute appearances left for us. No sentiment. He should finish his career doing what he does best. Scoring goals, not sitting on the bench. His career demonstrates that he’s not quite been good enough for the top level. No shame in that. That’s football.

”Okay love, I’ll take him outside and shoot him immediately.“
But it’s entirely accurate isn’t it?...
If anything Billy's career shows how prem teams would rather buy foreign than home grown. The top English goal scorer this century, a natural goalscorer yet he has to wait until 33 to get his second shot at the prem has always baffled me.
A year younger and maybe he plays more, but unfortunately for him it seems to have come to late in his career for him. I think by this point he doesn't care about his personal achievements, he cares about this clubs achievements.

His record speaks for itself I’m afraid. Not quite good enough at the top level. Wishing stars don’t work.

Rob Nugent has a 100% scoring record for his country in terms of games and goals; better than Shearer, Lineker, Greaves.He has 1 goal in 258 minutes of top-flight football. That's 0.35 goals per game. Some other players that were "not quite good enough for the top level" are:
- Teddy Sheringham (0.35 goals per game)
- Nicolas Anelka (0.34 goals per game)
- Dwight Yorke (0.33 goals per game)
All I’m saying is Mrs* Pinchy should keep a close eye on any family pets that seem a bit peaky, especially if you suggest taking them to live on a farm.It’s an entirely accurate appraisal of where we are now isn’t it? I know Billy is more important than our club to some. I take a different view. I’m Blade, not Bladey.
His career record doesn’t lie. It tells the story. A fantastic goal scorer at a level just below the top league. As I say, nothing to be ashamed of, far from it. He should go with our love and thanks to finish his career notching more goals, not sitting on our bench. Is that controversial?
Again he has hardly had the chance, he fires Southampton to the prem and gets loaned out, that is bound to knock his confidence.
Everybody knows Billy Sharp scores, you give him a chance, he will take it more often than not. His record shows that he has been unfortunate not to have a sustained chance at prem football. Strikers rely on a lot of things to get them firing on all cylinders, service, confidence, a run of games, I have no doubt that had Southampton kept him instead of loaning him out he would have stayed a prem striker, his record shows he scores.
This isn't wishing, this is my opinion, just like yours is yours. I see a natural scorer who hasn't been given the chance and maybe now too late, you see a natural scorer in anything but the prem.
Or maybe your narrow mind causes you to dismiss any opinion other than your own and therefore this renders you unable to engage in rational debate. Thereby meaning your opinion is inherently biased against anything not fitting your blinkered stereotype?There’s a difference. My opinion is not coloured by sentimentality. I don’t take into account his native city or which team he supports. I don’t add a premium for Bladeyness.
It was up to him to ensure he got the chance. Jamie Vardy did. So did Ian Rush. So did countless others. It’s not as though Premier managers didn’t know he was scoring loads in the lower leagues. There are reasons he wasn’t ‘given a chance’. He wasn’t and isn’t good enough. He’s another Keith Edwards. That’s football. I’ve seen it all before. Reality is just that. It doesn’t vary depending on how much you admire Billy Sharp.
