Yeah, would be desperately disappointing if he only managed to match his record totals this season.

The FA aren’t counting them for the official records so we aren’t, either.
The FA aren't counting the cup world cup?

I was referring to the charity shield and other ‘glorified friendly’ matches not being counted for Dixie Dean’s all comps record.The FA aren't counting the cup world cup?

They played 42 matches a season. The highest scoring game finished in 27/28 was 7-5 so you may have a point.

And I was talking about supercups and the club world cup.

To be fair to Dean, he only played 41 games in his record breaking season (League and FAC), scoring 63 goals, so had a 1.54 GpG rate.They played 42 matches a season. The highest scoring game finished in 27/28 was 7-5 so you may have a point.

And I still don’t think they should be included for official records in the same way the Charity/Community Shield isn’t.And I was talking about supercups and the club world cup.
Haaland already has three more competitions (so many more additional games) than Dean did in which to score goals (for the all comps record).

A bit like shreks England goals record, the majority of which were scored in friendlies.Quite rightly the charity/community shield doesn’t count as a competitive fixture in most official records.
That’s why I think Messi’s 73 goal season should actually only be 67. I don’t think Supercups and the World Club Cup (which 4 out of 6 of the ‘competing’ confederations have never won) are actual serious competitions. These are just stat padding opportunities. The kind of things that are nice to win but you forget about a day later.

Can people please not try to diminish Dixie Dean and his achievements. It's fucking disrespectful and very Dipper and Rag like nonsense.
