Ketsbaia Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 There was a great moment at the match today where it all sunk in. I just looked at my mate and said "There's a genuinely world class player at our club. I can't believe it". He's just a joy to watch and the type of player we all dream of being as kids. Make the most of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Think he would flourish even more once Cabaye is back to full form, Tiote is consistantly fit and Anita adapts to the pace and physicality of the league. A midfield three would allow us to dictate games more, which is what I think we need to make HBA even more effective than he already is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution Number 9 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 And to think they were having a discussion on Radio Newcastle in the last couple of weeks (I think initiated by the Mackems) over who was better - Ben Arfa or Adam Johnson. There's still a fair few mackems convinced that Sessegnon is just as good as Ben Arfa because of that advert they were both on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 As impressive as his performances have been, it's such a positive that he hasn't kicked off in the slightest (involving us) in his near 2 years here. Other clubs are avoiding him based on his attitude problems which are non-existent, even when stuck behind Obertan for months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I absolutely love the roar that goes up whenever he gets the ball in any position. It must give him a huge lift to hear 52,000 shout "G'wan Hatem, son!" the minute the ball arrives at his feet, knowing that everyone in ground wants him to do what he enjoys doing himself. Having the freedom to play in such a way and know that if it doesn't come off you'll not get a bollocking from the stands must be great for a player like him.

Other clubs are avoiding him based on his attitude problems which are non-existent, even when stuck behind Obertan for months. That contradicts what Pardew has had to say in the past, sounds like he's a bit of a nightmare to manage to be fair. But yes, I agree, the staff and he have done well to get it to work so far.

Yeah, every time he got the ball there was a noticeable shift in the crowd. A mix of excitement, anticipation and nerves. Only very special players can do that.

Fenham Mag Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Fancied a punt on him for PFA player of the Year, not even in the running: http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/pfa-player-of-the-year Some of the names you can bet on and HBA is not there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 @Yorkie. At the Pardew talk-in he suggested it. Nothing concrete, but he definitely suggested it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Just before Ben Arfa got his first start I remembering him saying he was a fiery character and that they'd have their disagreements. That's one of the few times it's cropped up. Meaningless thougg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 You can pretty much tell now that the PFA player of the year will be one of Joe Hart, RVP and someone else. In fact, I can't even look past Joe Hart tbh. For me it would be Yaya Toure, by quite some distance as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Joe Hart? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It will probably change over the season but so far me Hart has been nowhere near his best and quite a few GK's have been more impressive. He will probably still get in there like but for me if performances of the first 5 games are any indicator with how the season will pan out then Hart should be nowhere near the nominated list. Not like it matters at this stage tbh as there will probably be totally different names talked about come May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
