And then he still scored 148 in 303 for Newcastle. Which is basically a goal every other game including the tail end of his career and when injuries started affecting him.I mean, this kind of thing is normal when you play well beyond your prime, and not on a stacked super offensive team. Shearer had 112 goals in 138 games with Blackburn...nobody else there comes close to that pace, and it's not like 138 games is a small sample size either.
Though I think the PL is better now by a decent margin.
