LMFAO

Wrong. Harry Redknapp.

ShearMagic tried to argue his point. Didn't do it very well. A number of people picked his argument apart and systematically ridiculed him for what appeared to be a lie about him attending a game despite living and posting from Australia. Funny in one sense but a bit pathetic some the way some people are going on...

I think I want Cardiff to win this. Don't see why we cannot make Europe regardless of 'additional spots'.

:lol:

I actually agree with all of this. I still don't tink Hatem has been as ineffective as people are making out though. He's been equally as effective as Ryan Taylor and / or Obertan in an tacking sense. Ryan Taylor has contributed most in a defensive sense. Hatem is the most talented of the three though. I don't think anyone can actually 100% wholeheartedly disagree with that. Yeah but people are suggesting that we play a player that has little or no defensive abilities in front of Danny Simpson, who himself has little or no defensive abilities. Sounds like a solid idea... In front of Simpson...I don't think anyone suggested that. Anyways, I'm on your side to a degree, I hate this whole bumming of Ben Arfa when some of our less able players get slaughtered even though they've been equally as important this season. It's wrong that any Newcastle player comes on and gets ridiculed or moaned at before they even do owt wrong. The ones yesterday for Hatem were more of a frustration at the team than him, mind. Nevertheless, Ben Arfa isn't and hasn't been s***, he just hasn't been as effective as he may have been if he had been given more game time and / or starts. Well, I haven't been meaning to come across on the side of 'Ben Arfa' has been/is s***. He has been very poor in some games, invisible in others and brilliant at times in others, but it's not consistent enough and he doesn't deserve to be an automatic selection. I don't think he's an automatic selection like 99% of the idiots on here, and I'm able to see when he does things wrong and what his weaknesses are, again, something that apparently 99% of the idiots on here aren't able to do. He's also not the next Maradona, which apparently most people think he is. He has weaknesses, many of them. Fair dues. For me Ben Arfa should get more starts, especially now we're safe, and we should utilize him in the hole behind the stikers in a free role, and go at teams. Santon should be RB and Raylor LB with simpson as cover. Play Cabaye, Tiote and Jonas across the middle. My main issue is that people have big go at ryan Taylor and it's totally uncalled for, even more so than it is the likes of yourself criticisng Hatem. It's irritating me that so many people have jumped on your case too and 'ganged up' on you if you like. Not enough people on here, for me, give their opinions because they're frightened of being shot down, and as for the rest, they only post when they know they're in the majority.

At the same time, i wodner what the reaction would have been if he scored with one of his shots...

Why don't the 'spurs fans want 'arry sacked now? Very strange.

Nowt to do with them being above us like, hated them when they were rooted to the bottom too. Aye I know. I still dislike a number of the tams below us too. It just seems bizarre that it's agreed by so many.

I love the unquestioned widespread dislike for everyone other than Arsenal above us. It seems totally random but understandable at the same time.

I know.

Glad for Arsene tbf.

We would have taken a draw away to Wolves earlier in the season and oviously we expected a win yesterday. It all balances out really.

*** ? Clearly means Real and Atlético Madrid

*** ?

I don't have a problem with what he's done, it's over the top but it's also quite funny at the same time.

is it 1-2?
