Hanshithispantz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Can we not just give him the benefit of the doubt until it's actualy proven that he has 'taken the piss'? The last time he was apparently taking the piss by going over to France for treatment he ended up coming back from injury 2 weeks earlier than expected.

Colocho Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 In the nicest way possible, I hope that he is in Tunisia for an 'honest' reason. It was two years ago this week he went AWOL in 'Tunisia' - we all know what happened next... Care to refresh my memory? I get the feeling you aren't overly fond of Ben Arfa the person. You admire the talent but not the person. Couldn't have said it better in terms of the person/talent thing. I'm hoping the injury has made him realise that he can't take things for granted - and has made him see just how fortunate a lad he is (although this is rarely the case, especially with the modern footballer - which Ben Arfa almost personifies). He was late coming back from Tunisia following the international break. Came up with some bullshit story about his name not being on the computer at check-in, or some s**** like that. Missed a training session, was fined. After that incident his relationship with Deschamps deteriorated. Can you just tell me PLEASE, why are you lying this way about him ? I swear you, i tried a lot of times to understand but i don't see your aim... What of that post is a lie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You admire the talent but not the person. I don't know the english word for "péter", because all HBA history with french football press returns to that word. In other terms, each time Hatem "pète", since his debuts at Lyon, it becomes a nuclear explosion. The story in french here : http://www.rmcsport.fr/editorial/92012/affaire-ben-arfa-l-aeroport-de-tunis-pas-responsable/ "What happened next" (what a suspens...) : he paid 10.000 Euros for the club. (I'm putting that link particularly because it shows how it works : the guys in this radio station have called, from France, the tunisian airport, just to verify Hatem version...)

Came up with some bullshit story about his name not being on the computer at check-in, or some s**** like that. Missed a training session, was fined.

Were you with him in the airport to say that his story was "bullshit" ? Do you know what Deschamps told to the journalists this day ? Did you know he lied to them ? Did you know he knew Ben arfa was late but didn't mention it in the press conference, to deliberately let think that HBA had deliberately missed the training session ? Did you know Ben arfa warned him ? Of course you know all those things (and i surely forget some questions for you but i have to go) because YOU're a french specialist ! (irony of course) Let me tell you : you know nothing, strictly NOTHING about Ben arfa's personnality. Last time, when i saw your post about him and his relations with his previous team-mates, i swear, i was eating and i nearly choked myself. More than a half of what you said was pure lies; even things which were FACTUALLY WRONG. Please, just don't try to convince other posters Ben arfa is an arrogant, lazy or liar player. He is not, he's just immature but very humble, kind hearted and very respectful ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was in any rush to come back from Tunisia on that occasion - clearly the club felt the same. We'll have to agree to disagree... He's a tremendous talent, and has the potential to be one of the best players in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mimifrench Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 You make a lot of "sous-entendus" Colocho...
