Keefaz Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 3 hours ago, Boey_Jarton said: Why did he get no France caps whilst racking up insane numbers for Newcastle in the premier league? I seem to remember France deploying Bruno Cheyrou one time on the left side of midfield whilst he was stinking out the premier league, whilst Robert didn't get a look in. Had a bit of a reputation as a mouthy git, plus the reasons he got stick in Newcastle: didn't track back, could go missing in games, couldn't tackle.

OpenC Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I think I've posted this before but no matter how I try, I can't remember Kieron Dyer being anything other than pretty average for us. Always surprises me when I see his stats being respectable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TikTok +1 Roberto Carlos is widely regarded as one of the greatest left-backs in history, known for his speed (100m in 10.9s), immense strength, and ability to generate massive power and curve (approx. 140 km/h or 86.5 mph). Key Achievements: 2002 World Cup winner, multiple Champions League and La Liga titles with Real Madrid. Signature Style: Famous for the "banana kick" free-kick against France in 1997, utilizing the Magnus effect to create extreme spin. Defensive Role: Primarily a left-back, known for attacking prowess, though sometimes criticized defensively compared to peers like Maldini. Facebook +5 Laurent Robert was a French winger celebrated for his thunderous shots and direct free-kicks, particularly during his time at Newcastle United. Key Attributes: Known for his powerful, direct free-kicks from distance and "ninja" style acrobatic goals. Comparison: Often cited as the only player to come close to Roberto Carlos in terms of sheer long-range shooting power. Key Differences: Position: Roberto Carlos was a left-back/wing-back, while Laurent Robert was a left-winger. Impact/Legacy: Roberto Carlos had a more decorated career at the highest level (World Cup, multiple UCLs), while Robert is remembered for his spectacular long-range efforts. Style of Strike: While both were powerful, Carlos was known for extreme curve/swerve, whereas Robert was known for direct, piercing power.

It is yet another table claiming to be an “all-time” list which is obviously rubbish. Perhaps they mean Premier League but, even if that is the case, where are they getting all the info from? The most perplexing thing though is the appearance of Jock Rutherford, who was at the club from 1902-1913. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure "assists" weren't a thing in football back in the era of Lee Clark and Rob Lee. As for #17, Jock Rutherford, he played his last game for us in 1913. Television didn't start in the UK until 20 years later. How does anyone know that he had one more assist than Joelinton but one less than Shelvey? Edit: Wonder how many assists Giggs had. Apologies.

They were. I remember the 01/02 season definitely Robert had the 2nd most assists in the PL with 14, behind Giggs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
