Why do you think it was brought up in the Sunday Sun and again in the journal today
See I see a player like Marveaux, out nearly a year, desperate to get fit and taking part in every reserve and behind closed door game he can get.
I then see Ben Arfa, know his previous, see these comments in the paper, listen to what Pardew is saying about how they have to be very careful with his character etc etc
Forgive me for WONDERING if there could be any smoke without fire.
How silly of me :-)
You're seeing what you want to see, what about when Pardew said Ben Arfa stops back and does extra training?
Clearly just wants to make the rest of the squad feel inadequate about their own training schedules. Get rid.
