Premiership top scorers chart - 17 April 2007
Looking through the latest top scorer charts for the Premiership, I couldn’t help but notice that van Persie and Thierry Henry had 11 and 10 goals respectively for the season.
Considering that both have not played for half of the season, having them around for the whole season could easily yielded 20 goals a piece.
Here’s the chart:
April 17 2007 - Top scorers in the English Premier League on Tuesday:
18 Didier Drogba (Chelsea)
16 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
13 Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Benny McCarthy (Blackburn Rovers)
12 Yakubu Aiyegbeni (Middlesbrough)
11 Darren Bent (Charlton Athletic), Andy Johnson (Everton), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Obafemi Martins (Newcastle United), Nicolas Anelka (Bolton Wanderers)
10 Nwankwo Kanu (Portsmouth), Dirk Kuyt (Liverpool), Thierry Henry (Arsenal), Kevin Doyle (Reading), Bobby Zamora (West Ham United)
9 Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham Hotspur), Mark Viduka (Middlesbrough), Peter Crouch (Liverpool), Brian McBride (Fulham), Emile Heskey (Wigan Athletic)
Note that these are only for the Premiership.

Its a funny old game. There are always ifs and whats but at the end of the season its goals in the back of the net that count.
On consistency though, hitting the back of the net compared to the amount of games played its not surprising to see the two Arsenal players number 1 and 2 respectively.
Van Persie 11 goals in 17 appearances. thats 1 goal every 1.54 games.
Henry 10 goals in 16 appearances. thats 1 goal every 1.60 games.
drogba 18 goals in 29 appearances. thats 1 goal in every 1.61 games.
Ronaldo 16 goals in 29 appearances. thats 1 goal in every 1.81 appearances.
Yeah, thankfully they’ve been consistently injured this season.
You ‘re an ars-fan ,ahmed aren’t you?
Just kidding.
