TaylorJ_01 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Wish I saw Beardley when I wasn't so young. Absolutely love watching old videos of him. Seemed a similar type of explosive talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I had a dream about Hatem last night. Very detailed. Me and my friend were going to some secret, ticketed event in a place on top of a hill. It was hard to get in so a large black man helped us. There I met Hatem Ben Arfa and Ryan Taylor. Ignoring Ryan, I spoke to Hatem at length, had a good laugh. He gave me a load of training gear that he had with him for some reason. Lukas Podolski turned up with FC Koln for a friendly but that didn't feature in the rest of the dream. Then we had such a fun day out. Went to a massive waterslide and I was too scared to go up so Hatem stayed with me and we ran about a bit. Went for something to eat, too. Once we got back he ditched me but I didn't mind. It was awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpeth mag Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I was at the Portsmouth game when Beardsley scored that goal. The train line to Portsmouth was closed and we had to travel via Brighton. We were so late that we had to get off the free bus and get a taxi for the last 20 miles. When we got to the ground the away turnstiles were shut (about 15:40) and we had to go in the home end. We were told it was 0-0 when we were actually one up. Beardsley scored said wonder goal, we cheered and were promptly chased by Portsmouth hard lads until we found the law who saved us. Keegan and Beardsley both scored doubles, Mark Hateley for them with a young Neil Webb in their line up. A good day out in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7664682/ Ben Arfa - I have matured He gave an example of it the other day in training as he went around the goalkeeper, and then waited to beat him again, before shooting wide. His impudence prompted some of his team-mates to scold him but after recovering from his double fracture of the leg, the France international maintains he will not change his game. Quite like that quote, even in training they seemingly want to win badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tunisia Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ben Arfa is getting some fantastic publicity for the club. We haven't really built the clubs finances up since relegation, we've just cut costs and relied on the increased Sky money but that has to change and Ben Arfa is creating an interest from outside our fanbase that I haven't seen in years and it's all positive. Hello It is true he does a very good advertisement for Newcastle. In France, many watch the Newcastle game and I'm not surprised that many game Newcastle are staggered so that the public can watch the games, thanks to TV's Rights Newcastle had a lot of money. Moreover, with a place in Europe as there will be a lot of money. I often go out to bars in Paris, and now the games are often broadcast from newcastle, I saw some French fans who had never be contants Newcastle when Newcastle scored. I even heard one say that the next time it would take a Newcastle jersey with the name of Ben Arfa. I will do the same but on two conditions the first is that next year it remains to Newcastle and plays europe. happy for him but also for the whole team, good luck to be in the top four.

Seems we're getting quite a decent profile in France thanks to our french boys and the manner in which we've performed our business. Can only be good going forward and I hope we can develop a similar reputation in some other european countries too. Think Holland could be next if we get Pieters and Douglas.

Guest reefatoon Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Was talking to a friend who lives in France and he was saying Ben Arfa's goal was not just on the sports news but on the main news! Can't beat that publicity eh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 His goal was world class, nothing short of it. I was impressed just by the turn, he avoided a couple of challenges so by pace, some trickery - being flanked by Ba & Cisse helped him too as the centre halfs had to concentrate on them too. One of the best goals I've seen at SJP and I can't remember seeing another goal like it in the premier league. The bit of genius was the slight lift on the ball to get it past the final two defenders but his dribbling was so precise it was crazy, plus the crowd went fucking mental.

Football colonialism with Ben Arfa as our Napoleon. Nice. Hope Ben Arfa produces another devastating goal against Stoke, also, with all the focus on referees recently, hopefully they'll step their games up and start actually doing something about Huth and Shawcross among others in their team manhandling anything in range Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
