Best has scored in 2 games this season, he's scored in 6 Premiership games in total for us.

You agree with somebody saying his only bad game was against Bolton.

How do you think Best did against Swansea and West Brom?

No.

Who is going to win the balls in the air?

Ben Arfa won the penalty against Man U.

Litter and dog shit are my pet hates.

It's not called the Stadium of Shite for nothing.

It's probably a side effect of the ugly pills he must be taking.

Throw Enrique into the deal and I'd take them both for £10 million.

Can't see there being too many dwarfs in Bollywood. Not ones that can dance anyway.

Ben Arfa, like Ba at the time, needs games.

Has anybody got a Pardew shaped dart board?

Pardew clearly thinks at the minute that Best is a better player for us than Ben Arfa is and he's wrong, I would take anything Pardew says with a pinch of salt. Including him talking himself up about the meeting he's had with the players this week in which he told them what the were doing wrong only for us to hoof the ball for 65 minutes.

How is it far too simplistic to want Ben Arfa in the team ahead of players who give nothing? A player doesn't have to play 90 minutes just because he starts, he'll be more likely to get the minutes he needs from the beginning than he will come on at the end.

Ben Arfa was fit enough for Pardew to play him against Man U and Man City, are we to believe that he gets less fit the more he plays? Ben Arfa is producing when he’s getting game time and he needs to start. If he pisses off in a strop then it’s too late, do we have to wait for that?

Ryan Taylor won the ball around midfield, played a delayed one-two with Jonas and then burst down the left before pulling back for HBA to lash home. Cracking finish by the lad but you're dreaming if that's how you remember the goal - Ryan Taylor deserves a big pat on the back for making it. Where has Dave said anything that goes against what you've posted?

Agreed.

None.

He isn't at his best, he's still much better than Best.

If he'd brought Ben Arfa on before the fans stated to call for him then I might have thought he learned from his mistakes. We'll know a little bit more when we see the team to play Liverpool.

You do know who manages them, don't you?

Ben Arfa should be told he's in the team for the next couple of months and to relax and go out and do what he does best.

Demba Ba is a fantastic player for us, I knew he'd come good, I just didn't think he'd reach the level he's currently playing at.

I've just noticed the edit.
