Who's YOUR Striker?

[Malachy]

A new game, was going to start at start of season but I forgot :P. So basically you say one of your team's strikers that you think will get alot of goals this season - then at the end of the season whoever's striker has the most amount of goals WINS!
I'm gonna go with CHRIS IWELUMO for Wolves, think he'll do well this season and I'm picking him over Ebanks-Blake so lol.

[Scouse]

i think maybe, possibly torres could do good this season. just a guess though ;)

[Browney]

Tbh, seasons that good are rarely repeated.

And haha, Kenwyne Jones. :rolleyes:

[Scouse]

so you dont think he can do it again?

[CJW93]

Robbie Keane

[Chipmunk]

kevin lisbie

[Funya Chin]

Ronaldo.

I win.

[Browney]

so you dont think he can do it again?

God, definately in double figures, without a doubt. I just dont expect like 20 goals like last season. Or I could be completely wrong and he'll just get better. We'll have to wait and see. ;)

[Scouse]

his first season in a new country and division and he scores 33 goals in all competitions. i think there is a very good chance he will be even better as he will be more used to life in england.

[Rarelime]

Darren Bent, with a regular run and better service this season, could be promising.

[Browney]

But also you gotta think from a defenders point of view. Last season he was new, a fresh talent, he had the surprise factor. But now most clubs have had to try and stop him scoring atleast twice. Good defenders will have him all clued up now. So now Torres will be forced to play out of his comfort zone. But if he's that good he'll adapt and be just as good and keep the defenders guessing.

guess we will just have to wait and see, everyone has a different opinion. :)

[Malachy]

Ok here is the current (and very blank) table for the "Who's Your Striker?" game. Cup games do count, and I thought that I shouldn't add goals on already seeing as it would be unfair to other players. Plus the Premiership starts on Saturday so it will be fair then.

P.S: People will be added onto the table when they say their striker.

[Funya Chin]

You should do it goals divided by games considering there are 46 games in the lower divisions as opposed to 38 in the Premiership.

[Andys]

Would say Kenwyne Jones.. but he's out injured for a while...
so him or Saha if we get him?

[Browney]

Don't think we're getting Bent now. :(

Oh god I just read what I said.

[Malachy]

Don't think we're getting Bent now. :(

Oh god I just read what I said.
if your striker is out injured you can change.

[Captain]

Afonso Alves top scorer in the premiership? Oh yes :)

[Andys]

Don't think we're getting Bent now. :(

Oh god I just read what I said.
what???????
Old news :P Now we're after Saha.

[Malachy]

Afonso Alves top scorer in the premiership? Oh yes :)
Kk want me to add you to the game then? :P.

[Andys]

Can I have Adebyor? :)

[Malachy]

Yeah sure.

[Jamie!]

Hmm.. Micky Bridges, Danny Graham, Danny Carlton or Scott Dobie?

Danny Carlton looked excellent in pre-season and down at Brizzle, so I'll go with him?

[360]

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (try fitting that on your list!) from Celtic :)

[Malachy]

LOL I fit it in, just :P.

[Casuals]

simon cox

[Malachy]

That's 16 people in all now. Got people from habbo to sign up too. Remember people you can sign up until 3pm Saturday, because that's when the competition starts. I'll post table with who is who later.

[Jordie]

Chris Martin hes at luton for a season long loan so can i still have him.

brilliant in the air and excellent crossing ability just needs a goal and he'll be well on his way i reckon. dont really know why norwich let him go after what ive seen.

Aaron Mclean, Craig Mackail-Smith & George Boyd who can all score alot so im gunna go for Mclean for a 2nd season ina row

[Malachy]

Current (and blank) league table. This is to show that if you want to pick someone that is already taken, you can't :P.
http://www.tehupload.com/uploads/649771a0b81b317new.bmp (http://www.tehupload.com/share/1615)

[Browney]

Oh, if you can pick whoever, I'd love Berba please.

[Geraint]

Lol at the guy picking Steve Thompson. Does he have to play in Britain?

[Paulio]

afonso alves - middlesbrough

[Malachy]

Lol at the guy picking Steve Thompson. Does he have to play in Britain?
Yes.
And barkseh if you look Alves is taken, sorry.
You can pick another Boro striker though :).

[Geraint]

Rhys Griffiths - Llanelli

[TopRed]

Ronaldo isn't a striker..

[Malachy]

Well I just aloud it because he got goals last season.
Plus he's injured for a while :P.

[Casuals]

you should do this with goalkeepers how many they conside !

[Malachy]

you should do this with goalkeepers how many they conside !

Tbh if we have an even amount by Saturday, I might split it into 2 groups.

[Heart Break Kid]

2 groups?????

[Malachy]

Yeah.
Like Premier League & Championship because they play a different amount of games.

[Heart Break Kid]

ah was thinking you meant that but couldnt be sure :)

[Malachy]

I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do yet, let's just see how many people we get.

[BowTies1]

who ever says robbie keane needs to be shot

[Malachy]

who ever says robbie keane needs to be shot
I'll pass the message on ;).

[Heart Break Kid]

I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do yet, let's just see how many people we get.

kk :P...

[Looochella]

OH MY GOD. It was robbie keane, but the stupid person left us for liverpool.

[Malachy]

OH MY GOD. It was robbie keane, but the stupid person left us for liverpool.
so BERBATOV :)
hes pretty cool.
Taken, if you look at the table ;l.

[Jamie!]

Don't split it into two groups...

Just do what Adam said and work out the 'goals per game'.

[CJW93]

who ever says robbie keane needs to be shot

Thanks I guess?

Btw I cant view that table, all the lniks are broke :(

[Captain]

Damn you alves and your 2 left feet :(

[CJW93]

Keane isnt playing to well :s

[Malachy]

The current table as is stands after MOST of the team's have played 1 game.
http://uploadpicz.com/images/WLZHJ42.bmp (http://uploadpicz.com)
As you can see the FOUR strikers that actually got goals are highlighted.
If there is a goal from a striker on this list in the Liverpool vs Sunderland match/any match going on tommorow it will be updated.

[YellowParasol]

Should of chose Mackail-smith as he has scored twice 2day :P still happy with my Mclean choice though

[Malachy]

Fernando Torres scored in the 83rd minute for Liverpool against Sunderland, so he is now on ONE goal for Scouse.

[Geraint]

**** you Llanelli. Please win next time.

[Malachy]

**** you Llanelli. Please win next time.
They did win, 2-0.
But Griffiths didn't score :P.

[YellowParasol]

Just remembered, Mclean used to play for Orient from 1999 to 2003 but was rejected by them and released

[Malachy]

Just remembered, Mclean used to play for Orient from 1999 to 2003 but was rejected by them and released
Ah well. We can still do well this season.

[Geraint]

They did win, 2-0.
But Griffiths didn't score :P.

It said on Sky Sports News that they lost but they did win and Griffiths was suspended.

[Malachy]

Soccer Saturday? Said 2-0 to Llanelli at FT for me.

[CJW93]

Just remembered, Mclean used to play for Orient from 1999 to 2003 but was rejected by them and released

And then played for Grays

[Geraint]

Soccer Saturday? Said 2-0 to Llanelli at FT for me.

No, at about 10 o'clock.

Not counting last weeks games?

[Malachy]

Not counting last weeks games?
No because I forgot to start it last week and I thought it would be unfair.

[RichardKnox]

If I can still enter, put Mikael Antoine Curier of Dundee for me :P

[CJW93]

Internationals count?

[Geraint]

Internationals count?

Have to play in Britain. I asked that and he said no.

[Andys]

Can I change to Anelka? ;)

[Malachy]

Can I change to Anelka? ;)
Yes. But your only aloud to change striker if the striker your changing to has NO goals.
Btw can someone help me with doing that goals per game thing? I don't know how to do it (yes, I am thick).

[Geraint]

Goals scored divided by the number of games he has played. E.g if someone has played 8 games and scored 24 goals it would be 24 divided by 8 so it would be 3 goals per game.

Right ok thanks. So should I do it when we are into the new season with quite a few games played?

[Geraint]

Right ok thanks. So should I do it when we are into the new season with quite a few games played?

Not really. It might be easier to do it week by week to keep track on that player as he may not have played.

Do you want me to do half of them to make it easier?

[Andys]

Wait, so can I change to Cisse instead? As he's just signed.

[Malachy]

Not really. It might be easier to do it week by week to keep track on that player as he may not have played.

Do you want me to do half of them to make it easier?
Yes if you don't mind that would be great thanks :).
And Andy yes you can be Cisse now.

[Gangster]

Santa Cruz

[Minstrels]

Jo...!

[Geraint]

Yes if you don't mind that would be great thanks :).
And Andy yes you can be Cisse now.

Just tell me the names of the strikers and I shall start.

[Casuals]

simox cox scored so thats a goal on the tally :)

[Jordie]

Chris Martin scored for luton yesterday.

[Geo23]

Barnard


Scored for Southend United

Today Vs Wallsall today

Only once though.

[bigdavecox90]

Thierry Henry, seeing as he will be a City player as of next week :D

[Alan_Carr]

Adebayo Akinfenwa

FOR COBBLERS!

Scored 4 in all competitions, 3 penalties ;)

[YellowParasol]

I think i can safely say we can forget about Aaron Mclean having a chance as he has dislocated his elbow so is out for 6 weeks +. Wishi had gone for Craig Mackail-Smith now as he is on 5 goals already

[Cypher-]

RVP if he stays fit :)

[brandon]

Kevin Doyle


Chris Martin hes at luton for a season long loan so can i still have him.

brilliant in the air and excellent crossing ability just needs a goal and he'll be well on his way i reckon. dont really know why norwich let him go after what ive seen.
Was promising a couple of seasons ago. Came through the youth team and done well for the remainder of the season, signed a pro contract with apparent interest from Manchester United. But then he never re-captured that form and he had a bad attitude, he's also been banned in all the pubs from where he comes from haha. I don't think we'll let him go permenantly if he sorts it out.
