3 more goals for Rooney this season, and we have two players with 20 goals or more this season. Only happened six time since 1970 (didn't go back any further to look), and the first time since 02/03.

And Smith was our 19th goalscorer this season

 

[CnutOfAllCnuts]

Rooney has now moved into the top 40 of United's all-time goalscorers. With his 55 goals he has equaled Harry Rowley in 40th place.

Richardson got his 10h goal Vs Watford, and is now only one goal behind United legends such as Neil Webb, Juan Sebastian Veron, Qquinton Fortune and John O'Shea

 

[CnutOfAllCnuts]

Rooney is now on 58 United goals, equalling Jack Peddie in 35th place. 3 goals short of Charlie Mitten in 34th place.

If Rooney keeps this up, he will reach 100 goals during the 2008/09 season

 

[Nem 7]

He's 21.

cheers cnut

 

[Sauxees Moi Hui]

EDIT: Disregard, didn't realize this was an old post.

 

[lapassion]

cnut, how many games are Giggsy on, atm?

 

[Law]

Mr Rooney has scored 6 goals in the last 7 games since April 4th. Four of those goals being in the Champs League, one in the league and one in the FA cup.

 

[yeaher]

Doubt he will score an average of 20 a season, when you take into account injuries as well.

If he stays for another 10 years, he should reach 200 though.

Hes had a "horrible" season and has what 23?

 

[KingEric7]

Desperately shit season. Peaked.

 

[DanNistelrooy]

Desperately shit season. Peaked.

Exactly What a load of rubbish that was a ridiculous statement!

 

[KingEric7]

He didn't even rank in the young player of the season either. Anyone with a clear head could say he has been better than Lennon this year.

[OLEgend]

Dennis Violet at a guess..

 

[CnutOfAllCnuts]

Rooney is now one short of of goal number 60 for United.

Saturday's was Rooney's 11 goal in the last 12 games, after scoring in 8 of them games.

O'Shea's now got 12 goals in total for United.

 

[Cornell]

I wonder if Giggsy and Scholes will surpass Ruud.

 

[CnutOfAllCnuts]

I wonder if Giggsy and Scholes will surpass Ruud.

Will be touch and go, I reckon. 10 and 13 goals respectively to get to Ruud's tally.

If they have another two full seasons, they should be able to do it.

 

[hycool]
