teohgk Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Quality if true, but it's Albert's old translator that they're working with, not Albert himself unfortunately i thought it's Albert , exciting that he came back to work for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 What has he done to be as appreciate bloke Albert. Philippe Albert? He is a cult hero here because of his style of playing from central defence, in particular because of a fantastic goal he scored against Manchester United when we beat them 5-0 almost exactly fifteen years ago (96/97 season). Have a look on video sharing websites if you haven't seen that goal before ("Philippe Albert Goal Newcastle 5-0 Man Utd"). He was a lovely player to watch and constantly rampaged forward to join in attacks, while his left-foot was a bit of a wand for such a big guy. He used to have a little set-piece routine with David Ginola that I loved as a kid (scoop and volley). I think a lot of people associate him along with the likes of Asprilla and Ginola as real jewels in our crown during some of the best years in the recent history of this club, mainly because of their approach to the game and the flair they demonstrated. I personally have a massive amount of love for Albert, not least for his fantastic moustache, because I’ve never seen anybody quite like him in his position in this country. Thomas Vermaelen was showing some echoes of Albert in his early days at Arsenal – although with more brute force than what I would call “class” – and I’ve often wondered if he considers him an inspiration given their heritage.

GuyP Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 That story would have been verging on sexual if Ben Arfa had personally hired Albert to teach them all English, in what sounded quite a forceful manner...if he also got Ollie Bernard and Sibierski in as backups it would been perfect...

Rich Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I still think Bellamy vs. Feyenoord is the one for me in my lifetime, can't remember another goal of such drama, although I may be missing something hugely obvious. I went from a lingering depression at 2-2 to pure excitement, then back to the verge of wrist-slitting and finally to jumping around my living room like an idiot in the space of a few seconds.

Ginola Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Tiote vs Arsenal was pretty dramatic. I was pure bouncing off the walls after that Bellamy goal as well though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mimifrench Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 They just showed on French tv a little report with the title "Newcastle : the French touch". They particularly showed the come back of Ben arfa, so i've just seen the highlights of the end of the game , with him in the squad (i know it's late). All i can said is that some people in here lied to me ! HBA was good, even very good... Played simply (compared to before), almost made an assist (or 2), French commentators even sayed he always wants to make passes in the front (not in the back). He made all that in 20-25 minutes and it was for his come back at SJP. And Pardew wants him like an old n°10. And was the crowd making some "olé" every time he got the balls ?

He did fine when he came on but the game was virtually over and we were cruising by that time. Not really anything to report other than one "nearly" assist.
