I honest't don't think he's very good tbh
He is fucking shit tbh

Why on earth would you need a minder for an adult professional footballer? If he can't get a grip on his own personal life to affect his football in a positive way, then he doesn't deserve to be a pro. End of story.

Borini 14m?
:lol: What are these twats smoking? -
This is awful. Of course every death from this utterly horrifying and awful, but it naturally hits that bit closer to home when they share in the suffering and love of our club. Given all the shitty news over the last few weeks, I've been seriously in a perpetual state of being on the verge of tears.Fallen comrades
They went too soon. Liam will have never seen us win a trophy. Life is short boys and girls. Love the ones you're with, and be grateful for having them next to you. Nothing else in this life matters. RIP.

West Ham have a £9.5mil bid for Konoplyanka rejected
Some player he is. Saw him live for the Ukraine. Incredible vision.

RIP the two mags

I would f***ing take that.
Yup. It's incredible actually. Top, black and white stripes, sponsor, job done.

The club don't want to be stuck with two very good right backs on the books vying for the one position in the team.
As soon as Arsenal finish their bit with Debuchy, Janmaat will be confirmed.
Then why do the photos?

Loads on here said he looked a bit porky in the pictures he put up and now he's returned 1.5kg over the upper limit of the weight rules. The club can't just fine him whenever they like without some kind of reason or the PFA would be all over it.
I love HBA as much as the next man but if he comes back from holiday overweight he only has himself to blame. Contrast this with Marveaux who apparently spent the summer working with a private trainer to make sure he was in top condition when he returned.
Human biology doesn't work in this way. It's not simple mathematics unfortunately. Returning from holiday 1.5kg overweight is an indicator of absolutely f***-all without intensive investigation and testing which would be a waste of time and counterproductive. There is plenty of time to get in shape for the new season, so they should just get on with it.

I think the people saying there's no way we'd get him to do the pictures with the shirt before he'd signed the contract have forgotten which club we follow.

Fairly certain that he's already signed, but there's still that nagging doubt. Fuck you Ashley.

Get French Football
Newcastle United have accepted an offer for Hatem Ben Arfa, but the player refuses to budge.
Full story: http://t.co/26PbPBypVs #NUFC
So they are trying to fine him 2000 euros for being 1.5kg overweight when he returned for training?
What a farce. He's contesting that saying it's muscle put on while on holiday which sums up how petty this whole business has become. Pathetic.
Shows that our sports science department is made up of incompetent fuckwits tbh.

What a joke. The one player who can really get the fans going and Pardew has got absolutely no idea how to manage him (or fit him into a system).
Not saying HBA is blameless but still, its a shitty situation.
Is this the token disclaimer now when discussing Ben Arfa? For fuck's sake, it's a football club. This guy is brilliant at the bloody thing. Play him, or come out and say why you won't, transfer list him, and move on. It stinks of ego on behalf of Pardew.
(Not having a go at you gleebals btw. Just saying)

Though the journalists said talks underway for a big money striker?
Think they said "if we sign a big-money striker". Don't think we will, like.
Some have stated that talks have begun for another striker.
This is correct
Who?

Just watching his post-Oldham interview and
:anguish::anguish::anguish:He really makes it such a fucking chore to keep a serious interest in this team.

James Collins for 4.5 is the best value out there.
Keeps loads of clean sheets, and scores a few goals to boot as well.
Only 9 clean sheets, and scored only 1 goal last season.

in the comments on twitter, frenchies keep calling us a club de pigeon. Wonder what it means.
edit: och too late. je suis le giggs

Forever known as the 'black napkin' kit.
Revolting.
It really is hideous. Waiting to see how it looks on the players in action obviously, but I don't have any high hopes whatsoever. Looks like a child's dinner bib ffs.

Pretty sure this is it unfortunately

CG has been solid with this kind of stuff in the past no?

This "conserving energy" thing really boils my p*ss, what for the whole f***ing game? He simply walked around for 90% of the match only ever coming alive when the ball reached his feet. This from the world's best player at current and one of the world's best players ever, is nothing short of a joke. There was no desire whatsoever to go look for the ball, to make space to receive the ball and to get into the game.
I genuinely believe that in his own mind at least, because he has achieved so much and is so good, that these days, he doesn't have to do much, that things will all fall into place, and that is why he hasn't yet surpassed the likes of Pele and Maradona.
I was staggered to see him leave the group get together after full-time, as if he was above all that and didn't need geeing up. That to me screamed 'Primadona' and that's what he has become.
He was a passenger last night, someone who put in 10% of the effort in a game where he was needed most by his team-mates and those well wishers who wanted to see him win the greatest honour of the lot, the World Cup.
Many a time he made no effort whatsoever to close down a man or to squeeze play and that's the very basics. He should be embarrassed by his half arsed efforts last night.
Ronaldo doesn't track back or press like crazy but he works his socks off to be in the game. Look at Suarez and Robben and even our own Rooney. There is no excuse.
He is the Captain of his country in the World Cup Final, he is the world's greatest player, one of the greatest of all time, and yet he allowed German centre-backs to bring the ball out of defence and waltz past him as if he wasn't there. If I'm his team-mate looking at that I'd not only be p*ssed of, I'd be massively disappointed.
The world's best? Easily of his generation, but I'd put Pele, Maradona, Zidane and Cruyff all above him in the list of all-time greatest players.
