He's not a cunt and I wouldn't boo him.I was gutted to see him go but I always liked him while he was here ad thought he was a good guy.there are a lot of cunts in football and I don't think he's one of them

Sick of everything to do with Kean. Don't feell sorry for him at all, all this bigging up of himself because other managers have contacted him... it's out of pity mate

Absolutely brilliant, feeling better about this now. Stop being a cunt suarez and you'll stop missing games

How's leaving a player on the bench after they've put in some good performances good for their confidence Cajun? I think Ben Arfa just wants games, and he's a better option than both Obertan and Best...

They're appalling, why can't we just put on our best player on the ball and have him run at them. They back off Obertan, what will they do when Arfa runs at them? Just gutting to see the way we're pussying it about

Thanks Pards for playing 'goalscorer' Best and 'He hasn't shown us his best yet' Obertan

disagree about the Everton game, from my memory he was poor in that game. I've backed him a lot, always against other striking options until Ba came in but he needs a performance today more than anyone else. Obertan needs twenty performances before I'll believe he deserves to start

I don't think luck is going to play any part in it, Pardew will play him until an injury keeps him out the side

Pretentious and pointless

This. and deservedly so, some positive thinking post the city/man u/chelsea was what we needed, not conservatism. We lose this and the finger points directly at Pardew

Can really strike ball. Not sure on the rest of his game but he's got goals in him and seems unpredictable

Rarely understand this argument of blah blah is better against blah blah type of opposition. Yes, it works if the players have a similar level of ability but different playing style. You're talking about players who have completely different levels of ability Craig.

This 'play for the team' crap to do with Ben Arfa is pure wank. You're the one not playing for the team Pards you bellend

Been up for this all day, just seen the line up and need this coming hour to get over how shit it is before I can get myself up for the match again

Just play him Pards, stop being a twat and put him on the pitch for Obertan or Best.

Pretty much my favourite ever NUFC player now alongside Beardsley. If he signs a contract, see ya later pedro

Sick of the whole thing. This and the Terry case, they've managed to offload the debate from Suarez and Terry to subsidiary issues. Pathetic from AVB and Dalglish, they should be taking a strong stance and seeing beyond the sport into wider issues. Instead, they're like a couple of kids who are having their favourite toy taken away. No one wants a magnifying glass under every word spoken but people do want racism out of football and out of the UK, AVB and Dalglish have just made the whole debate an absolute mess. Lost all respect I had for AVB and I've always hated the other cunt

Leonardo managed behind the scenes Kombouare's sack since the start of the season. He's not enough "sexy" in his eyes. Leonardo is a smooth cunt. He looks likeable enough but I don't trust him at all

Go to the racism, John Terry thread. It's caused a stir. You'd think he'd have been sharp enough to realise that that isn't a word to use not only on Tv but in any context now

You're right about Sammy like, he needs a loan more than anyone else in our team. Think Vuckic is almost good enough to start but like you say, for the moment, he's not ready for 4-4-2

Ben Arfa is made for playing with Ba and Vuckic. Him and Vuckic would link up incredibly well, add in Cabaye and you've got three exceptional football brains and passers of the ball. Just sort yourself out Pardew and get him on

Two times in the first half I remember him running towards the Sir John Hall stand, he had Simpson outside him and Tiote back in a central area with space. Both times he just ran into defenders or ran it out of play. He just doesn't see simple things at all, there is no ability to spot the simplest pass and then if he manages that he always fucks up the easy pass. I don't get it, in his head he must either just shit it when he approaches a defender or he just switches off. I don't know if you can change that in some players, Obafemi couldn't be changed, maybe Obertan can't as well

Maybe he didn't know what 'coloured' meant, he did play for liverpool after all

Reading some of the comments following that article made me feel sick. Who the fuck honestly believes in that context Suarez was being matey matey with Evra. Disgraceful, have some dignity and make a stance yourselves Liverpool. Condemn racism in all forms, condemn the fact that Suarez used the word even if he was unsure of its meanings (unlikely) and accept the punishment. Everyone would respect you for it and it would show how much everyone wants to get racism out of the game. Instead they wear t-shirts with Suarez on, I'm sorry but that's disgraceful in the context.

Take ba out our side and we're one dimensional at the moment.exlied mentioned it but our wing play is shockingly uncreative,add to that our long ball tactics and we're going nowhere.why play with a high line only to punt it forward and lose it?both sewelly and ketsbqia's formations are necessary against bolton otherwise we'll be relying on Ba to make something out of nothing.pardew needs to show some courage
