Ronaldo Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'd love to know when we can next expect to have a winger score 12 goals in a season out of nothing and create fuck knows how many chances per game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Robert was unplayable? I can say from my position as an opposing team yes, yes he was. I know plenty of other clubs' fans did not like Robert playing against them one bit. Unnecessary smiley to finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 He was exceptional when he wanted to be, I loved his time here. What a player! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Average at best. That's possibly the most ludicrous statement I've ever read on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry-Thomas Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 You arselicking scouse c***. The idea that Robert was 'unplayable' has to be one of the most ridiculous football views I've ever heard. Mackem etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 My dad hated Robert because he would destroy his team (Spurs) nearly every single time I reckon there's a few other "neutrals" people can round up and testify that Robert was a brilliant player and someone we have missed ever since he left.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I think some people misunderstand the idea of this thread... posting opinions that are just clearly wrong seems a bit silly. Anyway, carry on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry-Thomas Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Robert was average at best. Robert Pattinson? Moncur obviously. Or Mitchell. I'm outgunned by familiarity and numbers here but the idea that Laurent Robert was a Newcastle great is fucking ridiculous in my opinion. I watched him many, many times and I think he was fuck all myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 He was no Sebastien Larsson if we are being honest but then I don't think anyone ever claimed him to be at that standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm outgunned by familiarity and numbers here but the idea that Laurent Robert was a Newcastle great is fucking ridiculous in my opinion. I watched him many, many times and I think he was fuck all myself. He'd go in and out of form in minutes, he was frustrating, petulant, work shy and lazy but fuck me when he got it right he was untouchable or unplayable, and that is what people are aluding too. Those moments stopped coming far too soon and he faded fast. He couldn't control a game, or dominate it, give a man of the match performance, he was all about the moment and its in those moments some sheer genius was on display, stuff I hadn't seen since Ginola and have only seen since in Ben Arfa, so yes, the Robert highlight reel is gorgeous, but watching him in a typical match was more infuriating than a pleasure but those one off moments when he got it right were magic and totally and utterly unplayable. The only kind of consistency he ever had was he'd turn it on against spurs, god how he hated them fuckers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineBarrens Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Although by the 2004-2005 season he was more frustrating than productive, Laurent Robert was exceptional in his first full season. Robert and Bellamy helped transform that NUFC side from mid-table mediocrity into the most exciting Newcastle side since the mid-90's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
