Okay I was kidding - but they're nothing alike as players man

 

For instance Rob Lee was pacy and could head a ball & he was fairly nails (and could he FUCK hit a free kick) You couldn't say any of that about Cabaye, he's a softer player, he'd happily give a kick but he'd sharp turn soft as shite if he ever had to take one, he can't head a ball and he's not pacy.

 

'Can hit a ball = Great Passer = Scores Goals' - this isn't far off a Leninist syllogism for fucks sake., lets just talk football man. Like men would...and women would...in a pub...whilst you wait outside to give them a lift home.

I'd pick Rob Lee everyday of the week. He was massively underrated, especially at international level. He should have featured more for England during his career. As a midfielder he literally had everything, his goal tally was excellent aswell, scored some absolute belters at crucial times.

I know most of you were in primary school when Rob joined, but remember who else were in the team who could take free kicks.

Aye, trudging their way to school, fighting Freddie Shepherd all the way there and back.

Has everyone read 'The Far Corner' by Harry Pearson.

 

The ginger bloke he goes on about in the first chapter about Newcastle...., you need to read it and balance it against CT

I wasn't, I trudged through the 80s and am fucked if I know why you'd mention who was taking free kicks in possibly the most free scoring, off the cuff and improvisational team in NUFC's post war history. But am sure you have your reasons, such as they are....

I know how this conversation came about my dear old thing, and that was you trying to show you know something about football and failing miserably as usual. Rob Lee's prowess at free kicks was irrelevent during virtually the entire time he was at the club and you trying to illustrate a spurious point by using a pretty much non existent part of his game only goes to prove it. Pip pip :)
