Crunch time, with just a game (or two) left now for the league's highest scorers.

26 - Didier Drogba (vs Wigan H)

26 - Wayne Rooney (vs Stoke H)

24 - Darren Bent (vs Wolves A)

23 - Carlos Tevez (vs Tottenham H & Man City A)

Wouldn't be overly surprised if any of those four get it to be honest, although clear favourites would have to be either Drogba or Rooney.

Honourable mention to Frank who is just below Tevez, amazing achievement for a midfielder!

Actually think (and hope..) it'll be Drogs

I wouldn't be surprised to see Drogs and Rooney both end up on either 26 or 27..What happens then has there been a tie before? I'd be happy enough if they ended on 30 each to be honest, we all know what that would mean.

Touché! :lol:

:D I'd also very much welcome a tie at 30 too :lol:

I've read that it would be decided on shots on goal percentage and I think rooney is better there :lol:

Given a choice, Drogba to score more than Rooney and in so doing winning the League, but as we do not have a choice, Chelsea to score more than Wigan and in so doing winning the League. Simples :lol:

Actually does anyone know if goals scored in the FA Cup are also included (with the FA Cup final still to come), have not really been paying much attention to the Golden Boot or Golden Glove competitions, Cech is also there or there abouts?

23 - Carlos Tevez (vs Tottenham H & Man City A)[/size]

That cant be right....surley he cant play against himself that would be a win win situation (or a lose lose)

LOL good spot! It's actually West Ham.

And nope, FA Cup doesn't count - league games only

Dixon and Lineker shared the Golden Boot back in errr gonna guess about 1985 or 86.

just checked it was the 84/85 season so it was a good guess with 24 apiece.

Might as well wait until Tevez has played against Tottenham before I dare to vote. Doubt he'll overtake Rooney and Drogba, but you never know. I might not like him very much, but he's a great player.

Really hope Drogba will get it.

Just noticed Laurens post about the 85 season, sounds more like it, I seem to remember it now as well..

my long term memory is pretty intact but dont ask me what I had for dinner last night or anyone's names any more.

drogba

I always thought it had to do with the amount of games played in order to get those goals, least amount of games wins.

Or maybe that's just football manager. hrm...

I think assists should play a factor in this, because you can do more than just score a goal with a golden boot. If they did, Drogs would win it by a landslide.

Then they couldn't call it being the "top scorer", could they? :wub:

Me too Dave, annoying or what :D

Drogba doesn't often perform that well against Wigan; I doubt he'll score. Sadly I can definitely see Rooney scoring against Stoke, so it doesn't look good for Drogs, sadly.

DROGBA!!

I remember last year we were all saying it was gonna be shoot on sight of goal for Nico against Sunderland since we didn't have much to gain from that game, obviously both Drogba and Rooney have a major game ahead of them this weekend, as does Tevez, so at least there shouldn't be a lot of crazy shots trying to get a little trophy.

That being said, I expect Drogba to show up to this game with his cup final mentality (pretend Wigan are Arsenal please!) and at least slot one home, but I also think Rooney scores at least one (if he's back to 100%...I didn't watch their game last week so I'm not sure how he looked).

I think Rooney will score but i think Drogs will get both for us in a 2-0 win, despite his record aginst wigan
