garth Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Can't understand why Krul hasn't been given the number 1 shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Might not want it I still think he will be the starting keeper though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Respect to Harper? No point in changing that number imo, even if Harper doesn't play. The starting goalkeeper is far from decided, I don't think there's any need to take the number 1 from our longest serving player. He's probably only got a year left in him anyway, just let it be.

Cajun Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hatem Ben Arfa has been handed the number ten shirt for Newcastle United ahead of the 2011/12 campaign. The French forward, who arrived from Marseille last August initially on loan before making the move permanent in January, previously wore the 37 jersey, but has opted to switch for this term. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20110812/weve-got-your-number_2281670_2417857 Can't believe a few ever doubted this, still happy it's been confirmed.

taxfree Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I guess it's only his take, but: Douglas- I suspect it'll be close to the 2-3 month mark. Terrible luck for the lad Surely not? Would be absolutely awful. Exactly the type of player we're in badly need of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Put HBA to the back of your mind, if we ever see him get a run of games in a B&W shirt then its a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Both tackles that have injured him were bad, I don't think he's a sick note, he's just been unlucky so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 The tackle was nasty like, his trailing leg was at knee height. However it was overplayed due to the fact Benny broke his leg. Yellow card tackle imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ok fair enough the studds of his left leg made contact with the ball as the knee of his right made contact and broke Ben Arfa's leg. It was an incredibly wild and dangerous tackle, if he did the same again someone else would likely be out for the season. Studds up red card, two footed red card, follow through with his second leg red card. Any of those by themselves were enough to get him sent off according to the rules of the game.

It was an incredibly wild and dangerous tackle and if he did the same again someone else would likely be out for the season and you think its a yellow card? I appologise for pulling you up about the facts like It was a bad tackle, but it was unlucky Ben Arfa's leg was broke, his foot was planted on the turn. It definatly wasn't a clear cut straight red card, it was debateable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I forgot/misremembered one aspect of the challenge (the leg that did the damage was nowhere near the ball). I do however have some idea of the rules of the game which you can't seem to grasp. It was studds up, two footed AND he followed through with his second leg after making contact with the ball. Any one of those could have seen him sent off, all of them together makes for just about the least debateble read card you'll ever see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
