I wonder if, after 5 or 6 consecutive defeats, Pardew will turn to Ben Arfa. It's easy for him to slag HBA off now but in desperate times he'll have to swallow his pride. An injury crisis, with the transfer window closed, could do it. Or maybe Sunderland have turned us over again. If he recalls him and it works, Pardew looks a genius to the idiot fans.
Maybe not
