Tooj Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 This'll go down like a s*** sarnie but some of his behaviour this season has been diabolical. Unlike Tiote who picks up yellows for the cause, Cabaye will get them for petulance, nasty tackles and childish behaviour. It's certainly something that doesn't need to be in his game and certainly something i'd like to see less of next season. Thing is, it's generally always in the same games he loses his temper: ones where he can't get involved and gets completely bullied out of it. He's gonna have to reconcile himself to the fact that he's playing in a big boys league with bigger, better athletes than in France and it'll happen. I wouldn't say he gets completely bullied out of it, it's more to do with the fact the 4-4-2 doesn't see him get enough of the ball where he is best with it, which leads to obvious frustration.

Ketsbaia Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/252578/Yohan-Cabaye-will-rice-to-the-occasion/? YOHAN CABAYE WILL RICE TO THE OCCASION NEWCASTLE midfielder Yohan Cabaye is warming up for his Euro 2012 showdown with England by tucking into rice pudding and jam. The France international has become hooked on the dish – a Tyneside delicacy – since joining the Toon. And so it will be on the menu as he gets ready to help France tackle Roy Hodgson’s men in Donetsk on June 11. Cabaye, 26, has been a big hit since joining Newcastle from Lille last summer. And he has had no problem adapting to the local grub. The playmaker has given Newcastle Brown Ale a miss – but loves nothing more than knocking back a bowl of rice pudding. He said: “There aren’t too many local specialities in Newcastle, but I love rice pudding – in fact I adore it. They make it at the training centre on the day before matches and I’ll mix it with strawberry jam – perfect. It is carnage! I’ll have the occasional drink, but very rarely, and I’ll only allow myself to have one during the summer." “Besides, whisky and beer are the specialities round here – and I’m not a fan of them at all.” Cabaye admits he has struggled to understand the Geordie lingo. And he finds it strange driving on the left – as opposed to the right, as they do in France – but loves the North East. He added: “I’m not completely bilingual but I get by OK. But when I first arrived I could not speak English and also some people in the North East have a very strong accent." “I asked Demba Ba for help. He speaks English very well, and luckily I was not the only French speaker at the club. It was a change for me to drive on the left. I brought over a French car with left-hand drive and in the beginning I was copying what the cars in front were doing. I need to look everywhere at crossings and pay that bit more attention than before.” Cabaye is joined in the France squad by Toon team-mate Hatem Ben Arfa, who has not played for his country since breaking his leg in October 2010.

aussiemag Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 There was an interview on a football magazine show in Australia, last night with Tim Cahill. He said that he deeply regrets his actions against Cabaye and fully accepts his 3 match ban. He said what Cabaye said was innapropriate, however Alan Pardew came and spoke to him after the incident and that Pardew is an absolute gentleman.

Punk77 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Fantastic read. Surreal that this stud plays for us: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1196869-euro-2012-players-to-watch-yohan-cabaye-of-france Euro 2012 Players to Watch: Yohan Cabaye of France That Yohan Cabaye was signed for just £4.8 million from Lille last summer should have had Michel Seydoux, president of Les Dogues, stomping about in fury. With the 2011-12 season as a reference point, Seydoux should have gotten about triple that price for his former midfielder. Somewhere, former Liverpool Director of Strategy Damien Comolli is shifting nervously as he realizes that he spent far more (£20 million and £7 million) on players (Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam, respectively) who were significantly less influential than Cabaye this season. Cabaye has rode his wave of terrific form over the past three seasons, with both Lille and Newcastle, into a consistent spot on the French national team, where he has developed a good understanding in midfield with Yann M'Vila after earning his first start six months ago. While the Rennes sentinel takes care of the defensive chores, Cabaye is allowed the freedom to roam and unleash his formidable creative potential. He was a late arrival to the French European qualifying campaign, but after making his first appearance, as a starter, no less, against Romania on Sept. 6, 2011, Cabaye started Les Bleus' final two matches against Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina. It spoke to Blanc's trust in him that the manager would start him in such important fixtures (France entered the Bosnia match needing at least a draw to assure them top place in their group). Cabaye came on as a substitute in some of France's higher-profile friendlies in recent years as well—the Brazil match in February 2011 at the Stade de France—but you can bet that, come June 11 when Les Bleus square off against England in their first match of the Euros, Cabaye will be a starter in midfield. In Numbers Scorer of 15 league goals (18 overall) and 17 league assists in his last two seasons with Lille, Cabaye wasted little time in making an impact at Newcastle this season. He ended with four goals and six assists in 34 Premier League matches, forming a terrific partnership with Cheik Tiote in the middle of the park for Toon. Despite being just 5'9", Cabaye displays a resilience and agility which allow him to withstand the considerable rigors of the Premier League. At 26, he has earned 10 caps for France at the senior level (three during the completed European qualifying campaign) and has yet to score a goal for Les Bleus. A late-comer to the national team party, to be sure. But as we've seen with 25-year-old striker Olivier Giroud, who scored in his full debut for France in late February, better late than never can work out just fine sometimes. What to Expect Cabaye can impact a game in any number of ways. His distribution is excellent, and his supreme vision allows him to dictate play from a central position. It's a rare talent and one he often uses to devastating effect. He'll almost certainly start for France and should make quite an impression on viewers. If they don't know him before the competition, they'll certainly know his name after watching France. Excellent in the run of play, Cabaye also possesses an innate ability for converting free kicks. It's a rare quality, and one that might hearken to mind fond memories of certain French No. 10s of yore. What They Say About Him While he will always consider Lille to be "his club," Cabaye admitted in a press conference at Clairefontaine, the French national team's training center, that the switch to Newcastle United has aided in his development and increased his stature among his teammates at the international level. Blanc has voiced his concerns over the relative lack of experience within the midfielding ranks, however. M'vila is just 21, and Cabaye can only lay claim to the aforementioned 10 appearances for Les Bleus. Speaking to L’Equipe, Blanc said, "My final hesitation concerns a long-term problem...the midfield is suffering from a lack of leadership and a lack of players with international experience. "There are players who have the potential to be in the France team, but players who have proven they can really be a part of it, there are very few." Cabaye is aware of that death of experience, but in the aforementioned French article, he noted that the experience of playing in the Premier League on a weekly basis, in front of stadiums numbering 50,000 and 60,000, has been a vital boon to his development as a player. There's a steeliness that develops from playing in front of that type of exacting audience. Alan Pardew, his manager at Newcastle, would appear to agree with Cabaye, based on the confidence he placed in his summer signing. Cabaye was a starter in Newcastle's first league match of the season, against Arsenal, and while Pardew admitted that the Frenchman struggled to adapt to the physical nature of the Premier League during the early portions of 2011-12, he raves about his potential. "I don't want to build him up to much at this stage because he's still learning his trade," said Pardew back in September. "There have been a couple of games this year where he's struggled...he needs to get a grip of the hurly-burly of the Premier League but if we can get him on the ball he's an outstanding player. "There's no mystery why he's in the French national team. He has a gift of a pass; his vision is his real quality. He has that special intelligence. He showed that against Villa, where he and Cheik [Tiote] controlled the midfield, with help from Demba Ba, and that's something we didn't do very well last season." Still Cats for me like...
