with all the play acting that goes on within football, the number of times something is done properly is very rare. Even Zidane heatbutted the guy in the chest.

Has anyone ever landed a proper punch or headbutt in the premier league era? I can’t think of any.

Does Cantona’s flying kick count? I think it should.
 
For the benefit of clubchamp98, I have just heard another person saying that Nunez did not headbutt Anderson. On Talksport, Didi Hamann said it was not a head butt, and felt Nunez just walked into Anderson.

OK, it did promote chuckles from the others on the show (as if he had just claimed the earth was flat). But, I have now at least heard one other person saying it wasn't a headbutt, following my claim on Post 29726 that you were the only one I had heard make that claim.
For your benefit I clearly said in a later post it was in context of “ that’s not a headbutt this is a headbutt” one that puts you in A&E not falling like a chess piece.
 
For me when I heard head butt I opened twitter to view the video

I was utterly disappointed. Whilst yes still a red etc not saying that but I was expecting proper Zidane style headbutt

Underwhelming
Yes my point exactly. Thank you.
Zidanes was a proper one.
Look how the guy goes down then look how Anderson goes down.
Notice the difference.
 
Harry kane...
Same number of goals as superstar augero in only 10 more games .
3 less than Andy Cole in 120 fewer games.
That's some stats.
And still some think he's not world class.
While he's undoubtedly, to me, world class, stats like the above are fundamentally flawed as they aren't based on 'equal opportunity'. That could, for some make Kane's performance even more impressive ;). Cole, for example, was hampered for a good chunk of his ManU period as being the 2nd option to Cantona. The combo of Kane and Son has certainly been a formidable one.
Edit: Comparison stats should separate Penalties and Field Goaals.

Kane is better than Aguero for three reasons.

He's played in a lesser side by far, is a much more complete striker and has a vastly superior strike rate in international football. Not even a debate really.
 
If Man Utd don’t score against Liverpool n Monday there goal of the month will be an own goal ???

how many games has Kane played against packed defences. What is not a debate is Kane still has a shocking amount of trophies.

What an odd post... Same league, same defences....

Scoring that many goals in a team that isn't financially doped too. Impressive

The top post was jest with iffy internet in Wembley stadium, it is actually an incorrect post on FB on a Utd and Liverpool banter group as Utd have another game after Liverpool.

The second post is in response to Alex saying there is no debate. Both are very good strikers that played in different teams.
