Alberts Mustache

That might be and I might even agree. But I also respect other people's right to an opinion, beause I wouldn't want to seem like a narcissistic c**t

It was just the "most fans are stupid - we need to educate them" that gave me some dodgy vibes. Subject aside.

Wow

Does this mean Van Dijk in? He surely won't stay at Celtic without CL?

Lacazette started out as a winger and still has a tendency to drift out wide.

Too rebellious obviously. I smell a falling out

A possible captain under our next manager?

If this is true it's f***ing comedy hour. Christ...

I love Hatem. I want him to start every game. I'm just sick of how everything repported in the press is a conspiracy from the club. Even if I love Hatem I think he is capable of unprofessionalism, as all others. And what you think I deserve or not, I luckily don't give a s**t about.

Terence Kongolo should be interesting to follow in the years to come. Huge talent.

So you try to create a debate then bottle it and run when you do. Hardly any debate here. I want HBA to play as much as any other. What I said was that it's pointless to argue on this matter because people are so biased. And ffs I think I made a good point. When people commented that the overweight talk was bullshit and wanted "proof" I linked to one of the many articles thats been on the matter. All I call for is some rationalism. Ffs Ffs, the stories are from newspaper articles which have come from within the club that were branded and admitted to lying to the fans. What? The newspaper articles have come from within the club? How big is this conspiracy anyway?

Of course it's not just about the weight. Main reason for him not playing last season is probably Pardews yellow belly tactics. But that doesn't mean everything said and done is a conspiracy against Ben Arfa.

0.2 grams, according to Google. http://cdn.vectorstock.com/i/composite/60,00/matchstick-vector-1516000.jpg Boxing reference ffs

Alright I'm out. This is pointless.

And too be fair this is not 1.3kg over match weight - I would imgaine this is "if you come back **% over match weight you'll be fined", and he did. I am no fan of Pardew and I love watching HBA play, but the glorification of this man is getting ridiculous. YES he has been treated badly, but that doesn't mean he has not acted unprofessionally. It's like talking about darwin to mormons in here.

I agree it's a rigid rule set, but this was an answer to the people who said that this was all bullshit.

I love arguing with a bunch whos comeback is "LOL" and "stfu".

Jesus christ... it's f***ing everywhere! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/10975152/Hatem-Ben-Arfa-faces-axe-from-Newcastle-United-pre-season-tour-after-returning-to-training-overweight.html

I think those of you that says he didn't weigh in over the said rules and that this is all a conspiracy, are the once who should provide proof tbf.

This makes no sense at all, from any angle. So we shouldn't have signed him or got excited? Forget about how highly he's been rated since he was a child, and almost every f***er in France seems to know about him and have an opinion on him? Right. And you shouldn't take into concideration that he has had a troubled history in both Lyon and Marseille and didn't fulfill his potential in either Lyon or Marseilles? Right-o. He is a talented player - that's a given. But to be a wonderchild and to be spoken about doesnt mean alot when push comes to shove. I'm not comparing these players, but with that logic we should sign Freddy Ady and Denílson. I love watching him play and he can do magic on his own, but the onesided argumentation defending him is starting to get a little boring listening to.

Ben Arfa started almost as many games on the bench at Marseille and had an even poorer record of goals and assists. I agree he is a joy to watch but people have a tendency to go all creationism when they defend him.

And is he not really more of a winger?

The actual kit isn't half bad imo, but no matter what yous stick that logo on it's gonna look like a plastic bag.
