I'd be devastated if Tiote ever leaves the club.

Just had a look at wikipedia, turns out he plays for my mum's hometown football club

Eh? When did this happen?

Nah, definitely don't need another right back unless we're planning on flogging Tavernier (hope not).

For me, the number 10 role is best suited to Ben Arfa's style of play and given time, I'm confident he'll excel in such a role. Wigan would be the perfect game to test the 4-4-1-1 formation.

lets hope for a draw then eh?

Very plausible.

Can't really disagree with what Barton has said there. no one taught him how to be a man , no one taught him how to behave when he went from £300 to £6500....excuses joey, how come all the others didn't behave the way you did. sociial media is a propaganda machine....so says the twitter whore. I agree with the stuff he was saying about Giggs/Terry/England Rugby Team. Barton was raised in a rough area of Liverpool and with a (somewhat dysfunctional) family like his, can imagine it being pretty hard to be raised "conventionally". if barton had been a carpet fitter with exactly the same background you'd say he was a t***, because he's a footballer who for a time played well for your team you'll change the criteria. Good point but what I think is that Barton has paid his dues (his time in prison and all that). Not sure if you can fully forgive him for his actions but he has tried to better himself as a person (checking into the Sporting Clinic and getting his anger issues sorted out) and he has shown a reformed character. Of course, he's still got of a bit of a nutter in him (mouthing off and all that) mind but less so now than when he was at City and during the early part of his career here.

Hmmm, that is quite odd. Hopefully it is the case of what taxfree has said above.

Bringing Santon on for him yesterday was probably a message in itself. Simpson being subbed off was probably telling him that "your place isn't that safe."

Would be quite harsh on Best imo but the Wigan game is the perfect opportunity for Ben Arfa to get a full 90 minutes under his belt. Plus, like some have already said, Wigan is pretty much the perfect opposition for Ben Arfa to destroy.

Some other choice quotes: It's not just you that thinks they're delusional. Ha, nice

I, for one, still rate the lad. Though I would like to see Marveaux be given a chance against Wigan tbh. But I wouldn't be too opposed to Obertan starting on Saturday like.

Definitely one of his best attributes.

thats really really creepy Very.

What was said? They showed him with his wife and baby (really cute lol) in the airport, when he was joining Newcastle on Wednesday after being with the French squad. Cabaye said he was very “urged” to see his team-mates (friends, he called them). Commentator always saying that his popularity is increasing more and more in France and of course in England. Cabaye was much chuffed with the international break with France. After, they showed his (very lush) house, in which he is keeping some photos of his Lille period and they insisted on the fact he received a lot presents from the NUFC fans who have seemingly adopted him quickly. Then, we saw him back to the training ground, team-mates like Tiote and Obertan asking for how he was with his injury knee. Every body in the club was worrying for him. Was having a lot of fun with Tiote, they seemed really good friends… Cabaye explained that Pardew told him he was the “quarterback” of his team. That he relied much on him. That pleased a lot Cabaye, to have a key role in your team. He really appreciates it. They also show him during the game against Spurs, saying he was quiet in the beginning, frustrating game debut. After, he was great. Finally, Cabaye said that since about 8-9 years now, he exchanges his shirt with Kaboul (Spurs defender and great friend of him), all the time, after every game he plays against him. Cabaye really seemed happy to be in Newcastle, obviously no regrets and even more now, when we see your position in the league table… It’s a good lesson to the French who criticised his choice of joining you. Thanks for that
