Harry Kane OBE .
What a fantastic achievement. One of the few footballers who kids can actually look to as a role model.
Nice one Harry. Well deserved . Now score a hat trick to celebrate.
The fucking vitriol out there towards him is unbelievable...if maguire was given one or stones etc I wouldn't give a shit one way or the other and certainly wouldn't be slagging them off....Fuck the haters.
What if it was Wilshere who got one?
Fantastic today. When he's in the mood watch out premier league. Could go on a decent run of goals over Xmas.
You're entirely right, and it is objectively better for Kane to be assisting if our all-round play and results are better.He's starting to create now and get rewarded for it. The whole team is evolving in an attacking sense. You have Kane dropping deeper than he ever has but now he's making an impact from it. Before, we were all moaning about Kane being in midfield to accommodate the likes of Lucas and Son but it's almost as if our players are finally clicking when Kane drops deep and it's paying dividends.
2014/15 - 5 assists in all competitions
2015/16 - 3 assists in all competitions
2016/17 - 7 assists in all competitions
2017/18 - 4 assists in all competitions
2018/19 - 5 assists in all competitions so far
By the way, 4 of those assists have come in his last 7 games. It's clear that the beginning of the season wasn't working. We all used the excuse that Kane was perhaps a little tired but I think it was simply a new Kane - dropping deeper, adapting his game, creating from deep and now it's simply working because the chemistry has improved and we've obviously worked hard on it in training.
An assist for Kane is as good as a goal for me. He's had a hand in 19 goals this season in 25 games. Pretty damn good.

But fucking hell I am petty and want Kane to catch Aubameyang and Salah and stop either winning the golden boot.
Our very own Jedi master.
Obi Wan KaneOBE
Almost works!
Two on Boxing Day please.
Well putting him as my fantasy team captain definitely doesn't curse him anymore (after yesterday) so fingers crossed.He will.
I have no doubt - wouldn't surprise me if he is top of the charts by new year in all honesty. Brace against Bournemouth and one against Wolves.

He needs to. Can’t have Aubameyang winning the golden boot.
Just noticed as well, next goal takes him level with Gerrard in premier league goals and in the next few weeks he is likely to surpass Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Anelka, Robbie Keane and Yorke in goals. Rapidly surging up the charts.
