    In all competitions. Just counting the PL is unfair because best has only played one season in it and if you count his league ratio then you championship season brings his record down, so your effectively just picking his best year and using that as the example. Good season for him though.

    True his overall ratio is pretty dire thanks to his Championship season with us, I just realised merry specified not just PL goals :(

    All competitions is unfairer! Some players will end up playing against Arsenal or Chelsea, whereas some will be playing Accrington or Stevenage. Who's more likely to score in that? It should only really include EPL games. That goes for Carroll too

    Owens PL record is still better than Carrolls. Leon Best would have a better record. I see your point about the difference of oppossition but this can happen in the league as well. Which 12 games did Best play in? Blackpool, Wigan and co or Chelsea, united, city?

    But over a period you should have played more or less the same standard of teams, and even if you haven't the standard isn't as much of a drop. Not sure if Leon Best played enough to be properly counted. Carroll did, but as you said, he has a worse record.
