    Matt’s were all about placement, whereas with Rickie it was a combination of accuracy and power. As said, hard to stop even if the keeper guessed right.

    Both special talents. You don't have the same air of confidence with the top players right now, they still miss. We really were blessed to have had both.

    I know that this has brought the discussion full circle, but JWP is showing the same level of confidence as RL & MLT (There you go, two TLAs, well three, if you include TLA)

    We’ll let you call the big chap Rickie Lee Lambert if it fits in with your TLA obsession!

    Heard a stat the other day about who had scored most PL free kicks from 2010-2019, the answer was Mata with something like 8. Seemed way too low

    So I'm willing to bet, that James is the first EPL player to score a free kick in a win against the same opposition home and away in one season.
    Can I put that in the stat thread yet, or does someone want to verify?

    I would just put it in the thread - all stats are made up and can be manipulated to prove a point anyway <laugh>

    In fact, 22.34% of facts are wrong.

    I just made that up, but I said it, wrote it on an internet forum, so it must be true.

    A third of all statistics are wrong, while the other third aren’t.
