Mr. Snrub Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Would be ok if it was a one off, but he is a proven thug who regularly goes out to seriously injure people. Hope he is on the end of a leg breaking challenge himself one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't understand what I'm getting at, I refer to a previous post of mine: Here's a crazy thought. You know the settled side that has been quietly impressing and gathering points all season - let's keep it settled. There should be one change to the 'regular team' and that should be Obertan's replacement (be it HBA or Guthrie or whoever). None of this switching Jonas or putting R.Taylor out on the right wing and throwing Santon in. A settled side is the reason we are where we are.

Sifu Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Can see Ben Arfa starting on Saturday, be it on the right wing or in the number 10 behind Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Can see Ben Arfa starting on Saturday, be it on the right wing or in the number 10 behind Ba. Think if starts it will be in the 10 role, then that leaves a decision for the right of Raylor or Sammy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Obertan and Best are going to have fitness tests tomorrow so could very well end up having the team which has served us well the last few months (well except for Tiote, being ruled out due to injury and all that).

Christmas Tree Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 ALAN Pardew insists the blows inflicted on Newcastle by the absence of Cheick Tioté and the imminent surgery required by Sylvain Marveaux have been softened by signs that Hatem Ben Arfa is approaching his best. And as the Frenchman prepares to return to the scene of his double leg break for the first time, and with the player responsible – Nigel de Jong – seeking a reconciliation, Pardew is confident his player is carrying no mental hangover from the incident. United travel to the Etihad Stadium tomorrow without Tioté, who is still out with a knee injury, and with Marveaux facing a groin operation next week which is likely to sideline him on a long-term basis. However, 13 months after de Jong’s horror tackle, Pardew believes Ben Arfa is close to being back to his best, and with the Dutchman having sent a written apology to the Newcastle star, the pair are expected to shake hands over the matter after tomorrow’s game. Asked how Ben Arfa is ahead of his return to the ground where he suffered a broken tibia and fibula, Pardew said: “Good, I had a little chat with him on Thursday morning and I thought it would be wise to just check that he’s OK. “He’s trained very well and he assures me there will be absolutely no problem. “When you train with Cheick Tioté, you are going to get clattered now and again so he has had a couple of Cheick tackles and seems to have come through them all right. “I think he is a player who only now is getting near his best because, even in training, he has been good and then two or three days later, not really been at the same pace as the other players. “But he has been a lot better recently, more up to speed. “The first few weeks, I just let him get on with it. We are quite disciplined on the training field. We want our players to have energy and work really hard. “We have had to let Hatem find his feet and I think that is only right. When you get long-term injuries I think that is the best way to be. “But he has not really caused me a problem, he has been very understanding. I do not know how long that will continue but at the moment he has been.” Interesting comments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough for Newcastle, luxury player, bad character etc. Next summer, Pardew will tell him to search another club but he won't find, even in the championship. The end of his carrer is very close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
