Pretty much every pundit on the radio on my drive in to work every day over the past month. Admittedly it was moreso after he broke the Jimmy Greaves record.

So Kane broke the record of some old codger that is now dead and we should celebrate that. Even Jimmy himself would laugh at that.

Yeah 13 points, so four wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, it was quite satisfying seeing the Mansfield HT score at Carlise tonight, as Mansfield are the only team to have beaten us.

We are finally out of the bottom two tonight - I thought we was going to have to settle for a draw, but the quality showed what was bought with the money to take all three.

The new owner just came in at the right time, you will never get a closer escape than that.

Carlisle were probably going out of business if they went down. A keeper who they had just got in on loan scored for them in the 91st minute to win the game they had to win. That's a pretty close escape in fairness, was mental.

Special player Greavsie ... scored goals that Hazza couldn't possibly aspire to with his balance and dribbling skills ... and all that in an era where defenders were allowed attempted knee displacement tackles ... not sure how many pens were in Greavsie's total ... but I suspect considerably less than Hazza ...

I've never checked, but I often wonder how many golden boots went on to win a league title that same season, well I know the answer for Kane without even looking it up on google, and how many times has Kane won the golden boot, 3?

Yet players such as Henry and Vardy achieved that fate, oh and not forgetting Shearer, so where does that leave Kane now in the hall of fame lol. To think in generations to come, kids will be asking, grandad did Kane win Spurs lots of trophies with all this goals.

I was listening to said pundits and they were genuinely trying to convince the world that Kane breaking Shearer's premier league goals record would be a bigger achievement than winning a trophy. Morons like Danny Murphy.
