Didnt think he did anything amazing that warranted MoTm like. Was a shite game.
When was the last time NUFC/Boro had Englands top striker?

Indeed and well said.
Also deserved it on form and the fact that he is a shining example to all players on how a model pro should be.

Didn't realise he was tbh, that said no one stood out at all.

As much as I love Defoe, when the mags signed that blerk with no birth certificate, there was only 1 better player in his position in world football. The fat Ronaldo.

Newcastle had Michael Owen. Not sure if he was England's best striker then. Some might argue Rooney but if ever there's been an overrated player it's him. Always shits himself on big stage.

Precisely why he got it really. Nowt happened, no one did anything so no other option than to give it to the bloke who scored.

You're quoting Euro 2004 to me. That was his last decent tournament. 13 years ago!!

England's top striker
He's still a good player but no chance he would have started the game today had Kane been available.
you don't even count. You have 14 fingers.
true - doesn't say much for you that you had to spend time to write that - does it?
Shearer is the best striker ever in the premiership, simple. But Battygoal, Ronaldo fatty- -better level again.

I don't see how quoting his achievements after, say, 2005 is valid to comparing him to Michael Owen at that point?
Owen probably was England's top striker at the time. He's still a total fuckknuckle though.

I was responding to the idea that he 'always shits himself on the big stage.'
I would say his career achievements prove he doesn't, even if he has disappointed in big tournaments for England.
If you are talking purely internationals, I see your point. But on the other hand he has also been the top scorer in qualifying on a few occasions, so there is more to it

Aye but he's spent his entire career playing in qualifiers against San Marino, Latvia and other Lichenstein.
