Dinho lad Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I don't think there is another player in the PL who could score a goal like that at the moment. I'm not even sure Messi could have scored that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Pardew seems to be pushing him hard for the French squad too. Would love it if he made it, might even have to get myself a French top for the euros. Already got that lush French away top with Ben Arfa on the back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Like Pards said in his interview, this goal will get Premier League coverage unlike his goal against Blackburn and so you'd imagine he'll be talked about over the next couple of days at least. I suspect there'll be plenty of analysis on how bad the defending was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Nice. Where did you get that photo? From the match thread, but it probably came from the official Flickr page. Thanks. Loving the colours on yours but can I get one without the text Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mimifrench Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Anyone know if he is getting any coverage in France? Sure it is (well, the match wasn't on TV), here are a few examples: -L’Equipe : “Ben arfa raises Newcastle” http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Ben-arfa-hisse-newcastle/276022 -Sport365 : “The sensation Ben arfa” http://www.sports.fr/cmc/football/201215/newcastle--ben-arfa-enflamme-l-angleterre_449507.html -Sport24 : “We can’t stop Ben arfa anymore” http://www.sport24.com/football/championnats-etrangers/angleterre/actualites/on-n-arrete-plus-ben-arfa-547414 -Footmercato : “Goal of the year for Ben arfa ?” http://www.footmercato.net/le-but-de-l-annee-pour-ben-arfa_83191 -Le Parisien : “Ben arfa scores (again) a goal from nowhere” http://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/videos-ben-arfa-inscrit-encore-un-but-venu-d-ailleurs-09-04-2012-1946728.php But some journalists reckon his place for the Euro is absolutely not guaranted.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Defenders must absolutely shit themselves when they face Hatem. You can see their bottle going every time he gets the ball, he's amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 RAWK reckon seem pretty fucked off that he scored a goal like that. Claiming it as terrible terrible defending. Well he nearly did it again just a few minutes later, except this time he passed to Cisse at the end of his run who should have scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Best bit was when someone tried to foul him and just bounced off his titanium ankles. Could easily have gone to ground and got and free kick but it just seemed to make him faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Aye. At times i think he must be as strong as an ox, but i think he's just got absolutely supreme balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
