Newcastle Fan Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hope he scores on monday, was luckily there to see the FA cup goal. Would be gutted if I hadn't saw him score in person yet. I was one of the few lucky ones who were there too, honestly this guy alone is a reason to go to every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Same, re the Blackburn goal. I liked him before, but i've been absolutely head over heels for him since that game. Best goal i've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Love how he's guaranteed to make a fool out of the opposition full back at least a couple of times a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 He looks as though he's loving it at the moment. I thought for sure he was a goner next season maybe 6 weeks ago, now the thought of us not having him next season doesnt bare thinking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mimifrench Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 HATEM BEN Arfa sent out a chilling warning to the rest of the Premier League today – by insisting that Papiss Cisse will only “get better and better.” The French playmaker had Swansea City on the ropes at the Liberty Stadium. But Ben Arfa feels that Newcastle are a match for anybody in the top flight with Cisse and Demba Ba in their starting XI. The Magpies’ attack is now beginning to look like one of the most potent offensive forces in Europe as star signing Cisse romped to his NINTH goal in the last eight matches. Ben Arfa told the Chronicle: “He’ll get better and better. “He was absolutely delighted in the dressing room afterwards as we all were after another great victory. “Papiss played very well again, for the whole game. “And he scored two again! “It’s just so good for us and I am happy this run is still going for the team.” Ba cut a disappointed figure as he left the field after failing to notch for the eighth game in a row. But Ben Arfa offered him an instant pick-up. He said: “When we have two great strikers like him and Demba we know we have the chance to score at any moment. “It’s good for us because it gives us more confidence. “Papiss’ English is getting better and I am helping him too. “I speak with him in French too. “We are all here to help him with that. “They will both get many goals for us.” Ben Arfa also reached out to thank the Toon Army after their 700-mile round trip to Swansea. He said: “If they weren’t behind us, it wouldn’t be the same. “We wouldn’t do this well. “I am pleased for them. “They give us great confidence and I think we are winning all together now. “Fans, players, staff, people on the bench, and everybody at the club. “Not just on match days every day in training we do well together. Everybody at the club puts in the effort and helps. It’s why we are doing so well as a club.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/04/07/ben-arfa-hails-impact-cisse-has-made-on-united-72703-30711969/#ixzz1rLVbkzA2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 He's really found his role in the side now, and he's doing his share of the work when we don't have the ball. He's playing with a lot more discipline and Pardew's patience has been rewarded. His passing inside from that wide right position is also very effective now. He's finding men in a lot of space. Even if he only gets past his man 2 or 3 times a game, that's more than enough. Once he's able to run at a defence, the opposition is fucked and they have to hope we make a mistake.

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Played well enough yesterday, performed admirably in his role, I love his shimmy to fool defenders, so agile and it's not like he's a midget. Did seem slightly off the boil at times in the first half with his touch and passing and probably would've preferred him being taken off to give him some rest for Monday but still, a good performance.

Tooj Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=292017.msg10136517#msg10136517 He has potential but along with potential comes a bad temperament. United were interested in signing him but ultimately went for Obertan. Not saying Obertan is better but you should get gist. He had issues when he was at Lyon and then Marseille due to which both the clubs wanted to get rid of him. Speaking of his ability alone, He is a good player but kind of blows hot and cold. Sometimes he performs really well while sometimes he is poor. I know Downing hasn't done that well but I think he is a better player than Ben Arfa. Issue is we paid around £18 Million for Downing while they paid around £8 Million for Ben Arfa. http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=292017.msg10136583#msg10136583 I would disagree about him being classes over Downing. Also, Thing is its not just Pardew alone with whom he had off-field issues and all. If you notice his career, he has had issues with the management in his previous two clubs before Newcastle as well. He has played with three clubs in his senior level and he has had issues in all of them. So much that they wanted to sell him. Surely something must be wrong with him? Its a risky signing. A club like Newcastle can take those kind of risks but not a top club where dressing room atmosphere and all matters a lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
