Cronky Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I assume Smith is there in the event that we're a goal up with 5 minutes to go and under pressure, and we need his experience in front of the back four. I'm not saying it's right. I just think that's the explanation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 The Ben Arfa fans are a bit special like. I'll never get people who support players and follow them team to team rather than supporting clubs. Got nothing against people who want to follow a player's career. But Christ. This one has to be on the wind up. Disappointing that we're still not getting any of the new guys in, but you can't really argue considering our record so far.

Guest benarfaNUFC Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I hate the Ben Arfa fanboys. They care more about Ben Arfa than the results of NUFC. If we were 20th but Ben Arfa played every match and did a couple of tricks for the French highlights they would be loving it. enough to make you shake with rage. You are stupid this team is incapable to stay in top 10 with best obertan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good to see Colo fit after that murmur. No Shola for Best is a plus too. Just hope HBA and Marv start in the CC. Where did the murmur even come from btw? I didn't know there were any fitness fears over Colo until the team news on SSN yesterday said that he was due to be fit.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 At the end of the day, I don't think Ben Arfa has done quite enough to shove Best or Ba out of the team yet, so no complaints there. Santon we've hardly seen, so to expect him to start is a bit premature for me, Simpson and Ryan Taylor haven't been catastrophic so why should they be dumped on their arse? The only one for me would be Marveaux coming in for Obertan, Marv has looked class in the two league cup games and has offered more in those games than Obertan has thus far. Overall, we should have enough to dick Wigan, but no need to stress over using the same unbeaten side really. Obertan is a joke he is bad Ben Arfa's pretty bad.

taxfree Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 benarfaNUFC is obviously taking the paranoia to new levels, but Ben Arfa should really start a game like this. Best was droppable for this one. He's played decent these last games - nothing more nothing less. I also think I read somewhere that Ben Arfa was knocking at Pardew's door. Irritates me a bit how Pardew is so afraid to change it up just a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Perch is there to cover colo - perhaps he has had a bad toe. I undrstand having midfirld cover instead of loven, who probably wouldnt get on anyway, but not sure why its smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not going to say hes an incredibly special player and then think of him as a sub constantly. Hes just biding his time for whatever reason. PARDEW FAITH !

gbandit Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 What needs to happen now is: We go three nil up at the break. Then bring on the guns in the second half; Marveaux, Barf and Santon and just set up the firing squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
