For those who asked for the updated buildings material PL goals chart after Chris Wood proved definitively that the second of the three pigs should have been able to handle a wolf
Exceptional skill by Wood to keep the ball alive in the 6 yard box, wins the penalty, scores the pen and makes his 150th goal in English football in the 18th minute against West Ham.

Yes some top skill by the big fella. And even some Martin Tyler commentary as an added bonus.
Burnley stay 9 points clear of Fulham, with 4 games left. Hard to see them being relegated from here. But Clarets next with a trip to Craven Cottage, that will be must win for the Cottagers.
If he doesn't win the Halbergs this year, we should hold a protest at Parliament with signs and everything!!
I agree, he wont win cos there will be a rower or sailor or rugby player who will and the sporting experts dont see 12 goals in the EPL as worth anything.

If he plays at the Olympics and scores a few, that would help.
It is really quite remarkable looking at where Wood's stats place him in the goal scoring charts. There are a number of strikers in this list below Wood that would be considered absolutely world class and a couple of recent golden boot winners in Aubameyang and Mané. Most in that list would command $50m+ transfer fees if they were sold. Quite remarkable really.

Fair play to him for ending the season on fire, it looked a couple months ago that he wasn’t going to match his previous seasons but he’s possibly going to finish with his best PL season yet
What are the chances of a better club coming in with an offer for the Woodsman? I feel given his age, if he really wants to take it to the next level, now's the time. Would Burnley let him go for the right price? Over the years I've often thought about how Wood would perform with a top-6 (or similar) team, where the quality all around him is much higher than what he's used to? Of course the pressure would be greater, but can you imagine him playing for a team that's actually trying to win trophies in the UK and Europe?
EDIT: By "taking it to the next level" I am in now way implying his career has been sub-par! He will live on as one of NZ's great sportspeople even if he never plays another game of football. I meant, if he wants to get to the Mt Olympus of football!
It might come down to how much he wants to be the main man and starting every week. Would you take 10-15 appearances off the bench for Tottenham or Arsenal (for example) over starting every week for Burnley? Some definitely would, but it wouldn't be a sure thing. Would be amazing to see him win something from a NZ perspective.
Very good point. He's unlikely to walk into a top-10 team and start every game. However, it would be a challenge, wouldn't it? Better service, stronger team, less minutes, more pressure...and ultimately better chance of winning something.
he's not winning anything anytime soon with a move to Arsenal
Yep regretted that example as soon as I said it lol. I reckon the best bet, balancing likelihood of playing time with the possibility of a trophy, would be Tottenham or West Ham. Win a league cup, Europa League and/or UEFA conference league, then having fulfilled his wildest dreams of a second tier trophy, head back to NZ for a few seasons with the nix. Too easy.

You forgot the winning the Olympics part in there.
Honestly pretty surprised he hasn't been linked with any moves. Given his consistency, I was at least expecting some wild speculation being chucked around
