Anyone now the top 3 scorers last season in each of the Spanish, English and Italian leagues?

I know who were the top 3 in la liga.
1. Messi
2. Ronaldo
3. Falcao

I know who won the top scorer award in Serie A but don't really remember who finished second and third so I'll have a guess.

1. Ibrahimovic
2. Cavani
3. Di Natale

In the epl it was Van Persie who was top scorer. Rooney was 2nd and Aguero was 3rd.

Milito was second I think Trebs, just ahead of Di Natale and Cavani, like Hero put

La Liga
1 Lionel Messi 50 FC Barcelona
2 Cristiano Ronaldo 46 Real Madrid
3 Radamel Falcao 24 Atlético Madrid
4 Gonzalo Higuaín 22 Real Madrid
5 Karim Benzema 21 Real Madrid
6 Roberto Soldado 17 Valencia CF
6 Fernando Llorente 17 Athletic Bilbao
8 Rubén Castro 16 Real Betis
9 Arouna Koné 15 Levante UD
9 Michu 15 Rayo Vallecano


50 and 46!!! Still astounds me

Premier League

1 Robin van Persie 30 Arsenal
2 Wayne Rooney 27 Manchester United
3 Sergio Agüero 23 Manchester City
4 Clint Dempsey 17 Fulham
4 Yakubu Aiyegbeni 17 Blackburn Rovers
4 Emmanuel Adebayor 17 Tottenham Hotspur
7 Demba Ba 16 Newcastle United
8 Grant Holt 15 Norwich City
9 Edin Dzeko 14 Manchester City
10 Mario Balotelli 13 Manchester City
10 Papiss Cissé 13 Newcastle United

Serie A

1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic 28 AC Milan
2 Diego Milito 24 Internazionale
3 Edinson Cavani 23 Napoli
3 Antonio Di Natale 23 Udinese
5 Rodrigo Palacio 19 Genoa
6 Germán Denis 16 Atalanta
6 Fabrizio Miccoli 16 Palermo
8 Sebastian Giovinco 15 Parma
9 Stevan Jovetic 14 Fiorentina
10 Mattia Destro 12 Siena
10 Miroslav Klose 12 Lazio

Alright guys, I had a go without wiki, anyone could do a copy & paste job.

Anyone get it at work Afro?

What astounds me the most with the Messi/Ronny goals is the number of goals that Higs and Benzema scored, everyone calls Ronny for playing for himself rather than as a team but where's the other Barca players on that list?

I am putting together the quiz for our end of season Fantasy League email. This was one of the questions I am putting in and wanted to see whether it was one people would find easy or not (without the help of Google).

Hero wrote:What astounds me the most with the Messi/Ronny goals is the number of goals that Higs and Benzema scored, everyone calls Ronny for playing for himself rather than as a team but where's the other Barca players on that list?

I agree. Especially when you think that Hig and Benzema shared the role as well. it wasn't like they were both playing all the time.

At the same time, I think it also shows that the quality in depth of the Premier League in terms of defending.

Winds me up a bit with Messi/Ronny, when people put up facebook posts on Messi with a Unicef kid and Ronny with a new watch to try and put across Ronny is the Anti-Messi so to speak.

The thing with La Liga is it's Barcelona, Real Madrid... low teams.

I think you could put a team like Everton or Fulham there and they could easily qualify for Europe. Makes me wonder whether Olly's premier league rule leads to him getting better players.

Anyway, thoughts on this for betting on the QFs?
portugal, germany, spain = £21.20
portugal, germany, england = £32.98
portugal, spain, england = £43.53
germany, spain, england = £34.36

Leaving me with a total of £132.07 if all four teams win. That's with a £5 stake per treble.

How many league goals did Ronaldo get in his last season at United?

18 I believe, wasn't it less prolific than the ones before?

18, his goals really came down in his last season, the one before he got 31.

Just trying to compare his league goals for United with his league goals for Real to see if there is a correlation.

It suggests that it is easier for him to score in La Liga and he gets 50% goals more goals in Spain than in England.

Need to see if that applies to Aguero too

I wouldn't say so, think it's more based on the quality of players in your team and the player themself reaching their peak, look at Torres, never really an exceptional goal scorer at Atletico, blistering in first season and a half at Liverpool then faded back down again.

I think you are right. Some players suit different leagues. Horses for courses.

Most people would say that it is traditionally more difficult to score goals in Italy. But Ibrahimovic scores plenty in Serie A, yet struggled in Spain.

Morning

Lads

heres a question in the eridivise who scored 5 goals in the last 4 games

I won't be on for much of the rest of the day now, the world's most boring piece of work is on my desk and I have to physically log myself out to stop coming on here. Seriously, it's a problem!

Huntelaar and Forlan again are prime examples too. Fantastic at certain clubs, abysmal at others.

At the time, my offer for Falcao was a huge amount of cash which was better used investing in other areas of my squad.

So there

Bas Dost got a few at the end of the year. Was it him?

I'm after a left winger and a striker, anyone up for deals?

VivaPaulScholes wrote:I'm after a left winger and a striker, anyone up for deals?

I can offer Karl Marx and Arthur Scargill

I'm up for a deal, not sure if you're interested in my players though Viva

Ha very funny Afro.

it was frank demouge!

QPR have bought Rob Green from West Ham.

Is it true that Noel Edmonds is the father of Jeremey Beadle even though he is 8 months younger then him?

yes that is true.
Dave Lee Travis is the mother too.

Some of the people that you and Afro mention I've never heard of them I do a google search and it shows your age.

Dave Lee Travis was like the Greg James of his era, but with a beard and a snooker based quiz on Radio 1.

Did you have a Radio in your days? Were TV's black and white?

Signed Rodriguez yesterday!

Luis Amor Rodriguez?

James Rodriguez

Didn't we have a discussion just yesterday about arranging transfers on anything other than the person's page?

No evidence of an offer being made or accepted, i'm guessing it was done on the Chatbox but it's no different to me and Hero doing a deal via PM.

VivaPaulScholes wrote:Did you have a Radio in your days? Were TV's black and white?

You're not far off.
As a kid there were 3 channels on the TV, BBC 1 & 2 and ITV, when I was 6 then C4 came out though all that had for kids was Willo the Wisp and Pob.
Video recorders were a new fangled thing, most were top loaders and weighed about the same as a small family car. Video shops used to blacklist you if you returned the videos back unwinded.

the deal was done cherries agreed to it.

oh and alot of transfers are done Via PM/Box

As per pm/box offers I think that the original offer should be made on the persons page and the final offer should also be made public there. The negotiations can be on the box or VIA pm as they are less important, I mean who really wants to read two people haggling over a few million on a deal they are not interested in?!

the original offer was made on my page tho

It was, no Sky+, no internet etc. If you wanted to find something out then you'd go to a place called a library that had things called books. Though you could only read the book for 3 weeks before you then had to return it or if not they would charge you 4p per day for every day you failed to return it.
