  1. He is/was incredibly entertaining and a joy to watch. He's a lingering subject because there's no closure. The end of his career here made absolutely no sense given what he was capable of in every game. He was our best player and then he was gone for free. I can understand that, but there are other exciting talents to watch. I personally find the fanaticism that surrounds him on here baffling though. I don't think I know a single NUFC fan in person that gives a shit about Ben Arfa anymore. Each to their own I guess... We've had nee1 anywhere near as sexy as HBA for decades. Even when we had some good players, they weren't flair players like Hatem. And right now we've got absolutely fuck all.
  2. Class player fucked over by (still existing) regime and manager. And we're still shit. why would there not be a fascination?

    Happy for anyone to be thrown under a bus personally. Tournament football. Kane can't hit a barn door like '16 when we face choonisia? bench the cunt. Pickford shits the bed, bring in the next useless cunt. Keep doing it until Steve Harper gets a callup if we have to.
  4. Certain things are better in each country, but it sounds like ujpest didn't venture far outside of IHOP.

    Why talk about that when it's not what happened seemed that way to me. also, do we var encroachment in the box on pens? urrghh, yeah that's shit with people going in box early. That and the shoving that goes on with corners will always be rarely picked up on. Anyway, ball wasn't punted away when it happened. I mean, the ball was punted away, but that's the most supporting angle for your argument. There is a prior angle that shows the ball a couple of feet in-front of him and travelling at some pace. Not really an argument worth having tbh. As far as I'm concerned the ball wasn't playable at this point and it comes under the "coming together" remit. People get stood on all the time. It didn't stop him doing anything of note as he was never getting another touch on the ball. I would also argue, that VAR was supposed to be for clear/obvious/mega-blatant decisions. I find it hard to classify this under one of those categories.

    im confused, does anyone have a diagram of this
  12. Any worse than being decided by a completely wrong decision by a human? SkySports released some data recently; in making decisions - VAR has an accuracy of 98.8% and referees have an accuracy of 99.2%. Assistant referees are at 98%. Is it worth slowly our game down to a ridiculous mess like rugby to improve assistant referee’s decision making by 0.8%? So refs get a sample size of every single decision, where as VAR gets a sample of only-the-most-contentious-decisions, and we're supposed to think they're comparable numbers? In fact, in the VAR review that the 98.8% figure is taken from, they state that: "The accuracy of reviewable decisions has increased by 5.8% to 98.8%. 100% accuracy is impossible due to human perception and subjectivity in decision-making" I however do not know why they spaced their PDF like that
  13. You mean LA Galaxy to Zlatan
  14. loaded poll question too. Do you want shit broken tapatalk or no tapatalk at all. I vote no tapatalk at all, but I still use her :'( Or try to. ps my actual vote is: do whatever makes you happy Dave, we will make it through this together
  15. And: Haven't done this yet. Yeah, that unread arrow is good. No idea why they didn't just use that to go to the last page if you've already read the thread.
  16. Probably been asked 100 times but is there a way of viewing the most recent post, or new posts quickly on mobile? Oh and I still. Any see what I'm typing. ??‍♂️ non mobile edit: "Oh and I still can't see what I'm typing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
  17. Probably because he played about 3 games for them. De Bruyne tastic.
  18. I mean, bearing in mind the full grid shows a 17% chance of them winning, thus a 28% chance of a draw, I don't see an issue with it. We're not exactly a tour de force, and outside of the top-6, there are very very few teams with more than a 55% chance in any of their remaining games.
  19. thats what RasenBallsport is for man
  20. That same fella has calculated win probabilities for the rest of the season. I guess everyone else is shit too, because these are our win probabilities: We better fucking beat Huddersfield full grid: https://cognitivefootball.wordpress.com/schedule/
  21. Looking forward to an all Red Bull Europa League final like.
  22. Kind of highlights that there aren't many of those games left in the season like....
  23. I'm going to imagine Kirsty Gallagher has a much longer rope than JC. Plus a conviction doesn't mean shit, what matters is sweet viral videos. (NFL) Ray Rice got 2 games after everyone found out he sparked out his missus. As soon as the video surfaced, his career was over.
