Read this and shut the f*** up about him leaving. Thanks. he is a little bit naive, but not stupid: ben arfa is ambitious, and needs a team to fulfill his dream to be one of the best he will leave by the end of the year 100 per cent

You having a stroke mate? just a ben arfa fan mate, honestly, do you think he shouldn't play with better players? even with nothing around him, he shines, when he was substituted by shola, it was written that we wouldn't win the game there's no threat in this team apart of ben arfa and marveaux, that's my point of view

i'have been a ben arfa fan for long time ago, i though newcastle could be a competitive team, but honesty,with pardew you doesn't deserve him... i would love hatem to show the world he is one of the best of his generation, for me he is the most talented player in the word with messi, but he got to move to a club with real football players to show it... ameobi, simpson, jonas, williamson,( even tiote and anita) you don't deserve hatem in your team... ryan taylor will replace him, he was in front of him next year remember.

honestly, what is a good coach? to put the best possible team .... when pardew puts jonas in the starting team, he shows he doesn't have a clue of what he's doing... Gutted coz we ben arfa AND marveaux on the starting eleven, we never lose this game.

think he didn't care about this game/didn't want to get an injury hard for him to know he won't play monday too

Bit unfair, Marv has had two huge injuries. yes it's true, but if i'm a coach and i know a player can bring something to my team, i play him every time i can... sometimes marveaux was not even on the bench, for pardew he was not good enough, like ben arfa last year... let him play 5 games, and we l'see the difference in the style of play of the team but i know, i m not a coach He's over cautious with those types of players, wants to up their work rate so they aren't a liability, it went on too long for hba, but end result we got a better player for it. Add to that the injuries I can see why it's taken longer with Marv, hopefully this is his breakthrough game, but he's got to stay fit, that I have less confidence in going off his medical history. Fingers crossed eh? For me, ben arfa is not a better player than two/three years ago... remember his match against everton, this is kind of a legend to say that pardew has changed "ben arfa"..he just needed games to not prove every minute that he could be a starter.

In the French squad maybe In the french squad, Cabaye is mainly used as a DM. And I'm agree with your last statement : Marveaux is better than Cabaye in an advanced position in the middle. he is used as a DM in a 4 3 3, Cabaye is great is there are two big guys behind him.

to be consistent you need to play games, remember ben arfa last year... and sorry but running and make simple pass doesn't make you a consistent player for me...good players take risk

work rate against football, jonas against marveaux...if you r a coach who do you pick up? one year later, pardew starts to see, coach of the one year later..

please don't get injured again :'(

hi garrincha, 2 for me, cabaye is overrated for me too, good player but overrated... hatem should be a starter in the french squad everyday of the year

marv cabaye ben arfa cissé or ba

only second start.... This team can be technical, just need to play the right players...

How many hamstring injuries? what the staff is doing?

he is the same kind of player than hba in term of technical ability and vision, with jonas

he dreams playing the world cup 2014....he l' play the championship...

i need my hba drug

cabaye in our 4 4 2 system plays too deep to be creative for me, he is the most "long ball" player with krul and williamson...

mayble we l'start a run of win then ben arfa will have to fight to find back his place in the team....hoof

Good game, provide some good pass, he is a little ben arfa in term of technical ability, we ll need him

Lot's of people will be sad tonight... He was great as a number ten, the link up with Marveaux looked promising, I think Marveaux must play from now on to replace him and provide some flair to the team. Honestly, the season doesn't look good, too many players not enough technically good to create a real style of play, and not enough strong physically to play an efficient hoof ball. Hatem come back soon

hatem need players like marveaux to play with, he is too good for this club, would love to see him with good players around him, the chance for newcastle is that he is not sure to be a starter in the big four and he wants to play

lol, the same, but i think he would be more enjoyable in a better team The way we play, we need 4 Jonas, not 4 ben arfa
