1. Fowler only scored more than 20 goals in two seasons that Eamo quoted stats for. If you're going to argue that an 18 goal season in the EPL is somehow comparable to Larsson than I won't bother addressing that.

2. Larsson won a European golden boot, Swedish player of the year, Swedish player of the last 50 years and socred more goals per minute thatn any player in la Liga this season. Those awards are proof of his class.

3. Larsson's first games back after his broken leg were in the European Championships for Sweden. Do your research. Fowler's place behind Emile Heskey in the pecking order says so much really.

4. Fowler didn't play for England and wasn't rated by successive club managers because he wasn't athletic or intelligent enough to succeed at the top level. He was a poacher who could score goals in the English league but that was his limit. He could never adapt to the style of play in Spain where he might be asked to play alone up front. You'd still have eejits from the Kop claiming that Liverpool didn't play a way that suited Fowler and he just needed a run of games but the simple fact is that the guy couldn't adapt to a style of play that was capable of winning trophies. Steve Bull springs to mind.

5. He did produce it his whole career, that's the point. The Champions League final was evidence of the man's greatness and no amount of detraction from the SPL can ever change that fact.

Got work to do. Shall post at luchtime.

Still waiting Lyonsee.

Pretty busy today trying to get out for study leave later on but I will address the points at some stage.

Before you go on study leave a couple of questions related to it:

1. Are you using the foolproof notes that came from me to Bandage to Cully? If so no need to put in much study, they're a guaranteed pass.

2. A sister of mine who you may be acquainted with has asked me to ask if she can get the notes I used to have for next year. The notes haven't been with a bird before but looking at a long-term view it makes sense that every once in a quinquennium we send the notes to a bird for a year for spring cleaning - that way they get highlighted properly and dividers and everything are refreshed. Then pass them back onto blokes for the following year. Else, they might just deteriorate over time if they pass endlessly on to a succession of lads.

Yes I will be getting those notes from Cully at some stage me thinks. I will pass them on to your sister as long as she promises that in highlighting them she won't simply take a paintbrush to them. Fookin hate that.

Myself and Eamo went on study leave a few hours ago but couldn't stay away. In the office after a few hints listening to Arcade Fire - doesn't get much better than this. Few hints, few hints, few hints.

This is a little like that famous photo of Maradona against Belgium. Difference is Larsson scored from this attack:

[bandage]

Look where Terry is in the photo and where he ended up after haring out after the ball. That's gas.

I love the fact that none of them are actually marking him. Hargreaves is pretending to do it but he's facing the other way and the two centre halves are standing away from the striker ready to launch themselves at the ball!
