Didnt mean anything by it man, i just mean you and a few others are likely to be more positive about Hatem than Christmas Tree I just think it's weird there seems to be this running argument about him for no reason. It's like people are trying to create something negative about the club while everything else is going so well. The simple facts are Ben Arfa used to be a class player and has been out for a year with a career threatening injury so he needs time to develop which im sure both he and the coaching staff are aware of and far more qualified to decide.

The problem you have and a few others like you is that you are so blinkered or so keen to follow like sheep, that you struggle to be able to have a sensible conversation about a player. I have said countless times how I hope it all clicks and he is a big success for us, but I can't see the point in blowing smoke up his arse when he hasn't really done anything so far this season. He was pretty average yesterday simple as that. Two other people today mentioned the tension bit and given his previous, the fact he's even down the pecking order on the subs and the fact this is a football chat forum, discussing what may or may not be playing out seems fair game to me. I also didn't say he would probably be sold, I said it wouldn't surprise me. Finally, if random Newcastle fans discussing things to do with the club annoy you, you may be be better logging on to cbeebies. Real mature that. Ok i haven't been "blowing smoke up his arse" as you put it and neither has anyone else. Maybe the french posters who have joined the forum because he is one of their favourite players have maybe exaggerated how good his cameos so far have been but apart from that i would say most people have been realistic about his play and not expecting too much from him. You seem to be constantly assuming things like there is "tension" and that he refused to play for the reserves. Now if you work for the club or have some factual insider knowledge so be it but to me it just seems your making these theories, like him becoming a "bad apple" for example, up based on very little evidence to support your argument

Thats not what is annoying people. It's the fact he's making out things like Ben Arfa is a bad apple and is going to get unhappy being on the bench and is going to kick up a fuss when he has done absolutely nothing so far off the pitch to upset anyone. So all this talk of he will probs get the sold in the next window or so is just needless chat that is just designed to annoy people.

Man if you can't finish chances like that in this league you get punished. Been much better team wigan but they have fuck all upfront.

Keep the drones online Alan

Diame looks really good whenever i see him lately. Set up his teamates loads already in the first 20mins and they fluffed all of them

This thread is a fucking joke. From the sounds of it certain people seem to be hoping it doesn't work out for him and he gets sold just so they can say "told you so" Pathetic.

Man Torres is going to be the biggest flop of all time

How do you give someone a hamstring injury?

wow savic had a bramble style moment on that 2nd qpr goal

haha same. We are quite clinical with our chances lately and man U defiantly give you a chance.

Someone said it before but their keeper getting injured was a blessing because westwood is a decent keeper

thinking about it, im surprised santon didnt get the nod today when we were struggling in the 2nd half

I see sammy in a few line ups. I think it would be a big mistake to throw him in from the start against city personally.

To be fair, that was a derby and Man U conceded 3 in the last like 5 minutes or something like that. I doubt they will be quite as pumped up for us. But still, a comfortable 2-0 win or 3 nil if we still have injuries to key players. No shame in defeat there but hope we put in a performance and don't get dicked on by the referee like last seasons trip there.

cowards challenge by barton that

Love our current kit, adidas can go fuck themselves

Yeah he looked done for even in the first half but still put in a cracking shift defensively second half. Needs a rest.

gives us hope for 2 weeks time the way city have played this first half .......there's the equaliser

Be very impressive if QPR beat chelsea and man city in successive home games

so close to 2:0 then. City will step it up soon though.

haha what's happened to this thread Great storytelling!

Shame he's guna be injured for Ireland, Traps aint guna be happy, he's going to think he is doing it on purpose after dropping out last time he was called up as well. Man we are really looking light in numbers after today, good job there is no game next week but from the sounds coming from Pardew he doesn't seem confident a lot of them will be fit for city which is a shame. Wanted to go their with our strongest team and give it a real go.

QPR looking much better without Taarabt as they did in the 2nd half against spurs.

Didnt Martin Atkinson do the qpr chelsea game last week?
