He must be close to retirement now?

No surprised he didn't last long at Galaxy given they have Landon Donovan upfront and also brought in Keane.

It doesn't look like.  He's absolutely banging the goals in for Chivas - 7 goals in 9 games.

It's such a shame. When you look back at his career stats he's been prolific in front of goal everywhere he's been, with one six year exception in the middle. Was he just not good enough for the Premier League or did he just not get the right service? Unfortunately, Wikipedia doesn't give offside stats for him, presumably due to lack of space!

He had a couple good seasons at the Villa, player of the year twice. He was also top scorer so far in the season he left.

I think that says more about the rest of the team under DOL to be honest.

Angel was average apart from that one season. His Villa career is 175 league games, 44 goals, 1 in 4.

This always confuses me, I can never work out this "one good season" people keep mentioning.

Is it 2001/02 when he scored 16? or or 2003/04 when he scored 23? please clarify.

I only use league stats so for me his one good season was 03/04, the only season at VP where he approached the 1 in 2 ratio that marks a decent striker.
Those that think he was some kind of superstriker never mention those seasons where he scored 1, 1, 7, 3, 4, which always confuses me.

He didn't get the service/he was too good for the rest of the team/his lad was ill/he was in the wrong hotel/we didn't send someone round to tuck him up every night. Whosever fault it was, nothing could ever be blamed on St Juampi of the Blessed Internet. Whatever happened to Ryu?

Please accept my sincere apologies for pointing out that JPA was very average, I really didn't realise it would upset you so much.

Sorry I didnt realise cup goals didnt count, guess you're in denial of our 7 FA Cups and 5 League Cups as well then. What about Europe? Did we win the European Cup in your book?

besides 12 league goals in 29 games in his 2nd best season isnt exactly a million miles off your 1 in 2 milestone of not to be considered a good season anyway.

I only use the league as a gauge as cup games can be against anyone. For example, a player could score 4 in a LC 2nd rd 8-0 win against Torquay but fail to score in the next 4 rounds. He has a good goals to games ratio there (4 in 5) but it doesn't take into consideration the opposition. Or it could be a couple of goals against Manure's reserves in the 3rd round. Same principal.

To me the league ratio is a much better indicator, especially when covering someone like JPA who was here for 6 years. I liked JPA, he struck me as a credit to the club off the pitch. I just think he was overrated on it. 1 in 4 just doesn't cut it for me for a player who cost £9.5million a decade ago. It's my opinion and i'm not sure why it seems to offend people.
