Listened to the legends and hardly a mention of Ben Arfa. Malcolm and particularly Mickey absolutely clueless about him as usual. Mickey saying he looks old.
I wonder when the non internet geeks will realise how good he is?
I Love how the powers that be, ie Hughton are playing down just how good he is saying stuff like "lets see if he can do that on a consistent basis before we think of signing him permanently" FFS man he is fucking class you numpty; just sign the fucker up sharpish ffs.
Always used to tuck mine in when playing as a winger for the school team. Specially when there was lasses watching since I was the nearest player to them. Gives them a good view of your arse and thighs. But that wasn't the only reason; I felt like a better player and more comfortable with my shirt tucked in.
After watching that, I think that its fair to say that on the ball he is the best player that I have ever seen in a Newcastle shirt. Might sound over the top but fuck me he just ghosts past players with ease. Such silky skill and ability on the ball.
We have not said he was outstanding, but he was still good and an influential player for Argentina at the world cup.
But he definitely failed to live up to expectations, just like Rooney, Ronaldo etc etc.
