Aguero,Kane and Giroud are the top 3 strikers in the league this season. They have been as deadly as Costa (if not more) but with the added benefit of being light years better than him in terms of technical ability and all round play. If Sanchez is considered a striker (which he isn't imo) he's obviously above him as well.

Agüero sure, Kane maybe, esp considering he is outscoirng world-class strikers either having the best season in their career (agüero) or playing with way better midfielders behind them (Costa) with ease and at only 21 years. People cry one-season wonder but does anyone really think a striker of that technical and goalscoring ability will only have one good season? maybe he will not score that much ever again but this guy will continue to make headlines. Michael owen sends his regards.

Giroud has killer holdöup play but a man his size should have. Not even Gunners would have him over Costa though.Giroud is a good striker but not a good finisher. But the worst thing about is he lets you down. He should have scored about every big game gunners lose and embodies there loser's mentality. Makes you hope with good performances in unimportant games but does fuck all in those that really matter. Arsenal will win their 3rd/4th place trophy with or without his goals, assists or hold up play.

With Kane being such a great player, I think England have a legitimate chance in Euro 2016 of winning it.

France. Germany. Belgium. Spain. Italy.

All better than England.

France. Germany. Belgium. Spain. Italy.

All better than England.

Belgium have great individuals, but they aren't a team. I think France at home will pose the biggest threat.

Prince Harry to take over as Sunderland manager

Speculation is rife that Prince Harry is leaving the Army in order to take over at Sunderland AFC.

“It seems the obvious narrative,” says journalist and fan Simon Williams.

“Gus Poyet has been sacked, Dick Advocaat is appointed an interim manager, and Prince Harry leaves the army in June.”

“The only way you can read this is that Prince Harry will be installed in time for the transfer window.”

The young Prince, famous for being photographed with his plums out in a Las Vegas hotel, will face a tough time at Sunderland with many people believing he’ll start his tenure in the Championship.

“Oh yes,” said Williams, “Sunderland are a total sack of wank.”

Prince Harry at Sunderland

The Royals have, for a long time, wanted to get into football management.

Prince Andrew was expected to take over at Wimbledon FC in the early nineties but unfortunately was far too busy shagging to do so.

Prince Harry has been linked with numerous jobs since announcing his intention to break from the Army; presenter of Top Gear, UKIP councillor, and manager of the Brentwood station branch of WH Smith.

“Look, I can’t say anything,” said Sunderland board member Ellis Short.

“Would we like to have Prince Harry at the club? Course we would. He’s a big name and he’s got lovely hair. But we’ll have to wait and see.”

The expected move for Prince Harry has fuelled speculation that the Royal Family will offer Gus Poyet a job as a minor royal

[lionsden 4,689]

Glad to see mata back. I could never hate him even if I tried.

[kellzfresh 7,226]

Mata!!!

[stroey 2,525]

Mata....

[mediator 2,026]

Mata with his right foot, really nice for him

[kellzfresh 7,226]

Mata and herera bossing this for manutd so far. Having two intelligent Spanish midfielders is helping vangaals philosophy look good since the tottenham match

[stroey 2,525]

Don't like the score, come on Liverpool!

[lionsden 4,689]

One thing that can't be denied is man utd's vast improvement in the big games under van gaal. Last season, they would have been down and out by now

[zolayes 14,489]

possibly Matas best performance for Man U

[Laylabelle 9,296]
