Pardews ruined Gouffran's natural game and dropped HBA because he won't play residual right back, I fear for Cabella unless he has the stamina of a horse.

A keeper needs to be nimble, quick on his feet and able to get low, fast. So maybe not AS strict however still needs to be in shape and by shape I don't mean round.

This is the worst bit for me, the hypocrisy of Pardew with one of his hoop lickers, The Blob, carrying far too much timber being allowed a free pass. If HBA took it to tribunal there's surely a case for descrimination there.

Fat fucker, absolute embarrassment that picture, as if you'd pose looking like that!?! I bet Jelliot looks positively svelt next to him.

They still have another parachute payment of 7m due soon and a tribunal payment for Ince, I think the Oystons will do a runner with what's left when that money comes in. The supporters had a protest on our seafront this weekend, funny shit, but can't help but feel sorry for them.

ie. We're gunna do a tactic wif fret and use it all season, hope it works on everywun.

Put that on a banner sharpish!! That quote has got big ass teeth on it waiting to bite him on his arse! He'll have forgotten about it tomorrow never mind once we start free falling down the table.

And Hatem has done far less than Barton ever did. Kind of reminds me of Gullit's treatment of Rob Lee. We can only hope it's exactly the same scenario, I said this was happening a couple of days ago, it's gone too far now, this is rediculous.

Stockholm syndrome tbh, throw us a few scraps and the less mentally astute think they're doing us a favour. We haven't had a permanent transfer in 18 months, anything would seem like a breakthrough, even doing the bare minimum. Fucking sheep.

Is it te apocalypse? It's saying something when the Mackems are singing from the same song sheet as us, deserves a tbh. I'm shocked!

And yet last season he played well and got dropped, came on in later games and gave the few sparks we had in attack, utter bollocks imo. He had 'moments' of brilliance when he came on but it was no where near his potential. Which was the frustrating thing - Imagine what a fit Ben Arfa could have done. I would agree but i don't think he's that unfit, which is really my stance on it. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that. I never thought he looked fit since he came back from his hamstring injury. I agree Pardew has managed him horrendously bad as he clearly is a player who needs to feel wanted. But he has always had full support from the fans and I think he owes us to be in the best shape he can be - yet from what I have seen he has practically hung up his boots. He is without a doubt one of the most gifted players I've seen play for Newcastle and I am annoyed that he is giving Pardew the excuse he needs not to play him. If he was fully fit and looked like he was chomping at the bit the pressure to play him would be enormous. Yet when you read about him coming back from holiday over weight it just takes the pressure off Pardew. And I for one am gutted about that. Therein lies the problem, "what you read" ie what the club and in particular what Pardew is saying about him. No he's not in peak physical form, but he's just come back, I bet he's nowhere near as bad as they're making out. Just another excuse to try and turn us against him and to ostracise him further from the first team.

Someone fishing for attention?

I'm from Blackpool, someone from here has also died in this tragedy, RIP to all 3 such a horrible day for all involved. Thoughts go out to all the families too.

Same here, I know sweet FA about the lad but good luck to him, hope he does well for us.

You just know Arse will be lauded for his "discovery"

He has a fair reason tbf to him. 6 pro players and nobody even close to coming in according to my mate who supports them. 8 senior players, no 'keeper and 1 permanent signing this window! Karl Oysten has leeched £26m out of the club and says he's "not concerned" about their current predicament as it allows the new manager to build his own squad. With no money and no support I'll be surprised if he can build a first team.

Sneaking feeling we won't be getting anyone else after Janmatt barring further departures. Going into the new season with 1 fit senior level recognised striker, awesome business

Valencia to west ham, we monitored the shit outta that one!

Huh? Squad list been released? Not been officially released no but a couple of news reports have stated he's not got a number A couple? Where? http://www.soccernews.com/ben-arfa-nears-summer-exit/150625/ There's another one I read this morning but can't be arsed scrolling through more stories than I have. Just repeating what I've read so don't take a pop at me. No poppidge meant. Just needed clarification as I hope god there's no truth in it. I'm hoping it's a case of 2+2=5 but Pardews ego knows no bounds and it wouldn't be a surprise to me at all. And it's cool, no worries

Always said last season we should have seen more of a front line of Remy/HBA left/right and Cisse up top, would have made a pretty formidable attack, alas, as you say, Pardew. Don't think we'll ever see HBA in B&W again unless Pardew starts feeling the pressure and he'll hoy him on for a cameo when we're losing and use that to drop him again.

Does he track back, can he run and can he jump? Far too creative we'll be lucky to see 2 attack minded players fielded at the same time... Unless he can play left back, can he play left back?

Just been on the Chron to educate some morons and tbh I was pleasantly surprised that 80% are still against him posting on there, I don't think the tide is turning as much as we feared. Obviously there's still mongs out there but it's pretty much still a Pardew hate campaign.
