Micah Richards claiming Rooney as a better player than Harry. Please drop him Sky…
His argument about Shearer being better made me laugh.

"The variety of goals Shearer scored makes him better".

Genuinely haven't seen a player, bar maybe Messi, score more different types of goals than Kane, and I include CR7, Lewandowski when I say that.

Headers, Left foot, right foot, long range, penalties, inside the box, curlers, daisy cutters. There isn't any sort of goal he hasn't scored.

I know I have but I think we have all been guilty of taking for granted the absolute greatness were lucky enough to see.

I didn't see Greavsie, Hoddle was my hero but even him, I caught at the very end of his spurs career but Harry has confirmed himself to be our greatest ever player and we're all lucky enough to have lived through it.

I haven't seen the game yet as I've just finished work but I couldn't wait to share my admiration for this giant of a player who has achieved something unbelievable.

Rooney was a superb player so its all opinions whether Roonery or Kane or Shearer etc etc etc is better. I dont think anyone who suggests any of those three as the best of the three would be far wrong.

Incredible player, brilliant role model, pleasure to watch him, blessed to have him at our club.

Legend whatever but if we can win one decent trophy with him that’ll mean the world to him.

Every good Kane performance or important goal immediately turns into a ‘should he go conversations’ among pundits, season after season. You would have thought that on the day he breaks Tottenham’s goal scoring record, that maybe the focus can be on us but of course not.

What’s never seems to get mentioned in this boring one sided conversation is how good it is for the Premier League that Harry has stayed at Tottenham. The English game is the best in world because it has so many top teams competing for Champions League places.

- In Germany the challengers to Bayern are Leipzig and Dortmund and they constantly have to let go of their best players to the dominant team. Upamecano and Sabitzer signed last season and Laimer has already signed a contract with Bayern for next season.

- In France Monaco won the league in 16/17 and sells Mbappe to PSG the following season.

- In Italy Higuain scored 36 goals for Napoli who finished 2nd in the league that year only to leave to 1st place finisher Juventus the next season.

- In Spain we have two top teams who takes all the best talent from the other clubs. Players like Griezmann and Rakitic leave Atletico and Sevilla to go to Barcelona during their peak years only to return to their respective clubs once they are older and no longer as good.

Many congrats Harry Kane. It is a pleasure to follow Tottenham with you leading the line. Watching a living legend in real time is a joy. Harry Hotspur. Just drink it in fellow Spurs, don't let distractions or detractors in.

And a nice ending paragraph from Barney Ronay's write up:

"A last word on Kane, whose feting as a top player has always been a little begrudged by some. It is true that very few footballers have had such an illustrious career without actually winning a trophy. The misunderstanding is that this dilutes Kane’s achievements. In reality it makes them more impressive. Here is a man who has performed to a relentlessly high level while playing for Spurs and England, two teams with almost no modern history of winning pots. A genuine homespun hero in the peculiarly brutal, globalised landscape of modern football, he deserves his moment.
