AlanSkÃrare Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Who's going to win at weekend then, Hazard or Ben Arfa? Would be beautiful if Hatem stole the show again. I suspect this might be Cisse's game. I think Papiss will be up for it again. I also think we'll frustrate them and that we're full of confidence after beating Spurs. Coloccini playing is key to getting a result. Tioté to keep Hazard quiet and Colo to take Torres out of the game. Mata against Simpson is the main worry tbh.

Lush Vlad Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Had a watch of 5 mins or so of that vid. He looked awesome against Wigan, shame we were 4 down mind Love the videos that get put up showing every touch of the game, good or bad. Would be great to see for Spurs. If anyone is a wizzard on there and has some time on their hands..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I just watched the bolton goal, 4 times. When he receives the ball and turns, in fact turn isn't the right word because i don't think it classes as a turn. He beats his man with a move the other 6.5 billion people on this planet can't even do on a playstation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 That compilation Is it wrong to think we could have qualified for CL last season if Pardew had stopped the Obertan experiment earlier and just given Hatem the chance like so many of us fans were screaming out for?

If anyone is a wizzard on there and has some time on their hands..... I tried to make a video of his every touch for the spurs game on Windows movie maker yesterday, but it was just too much hassle on the windows 7 version. There's someone on youtube who keeps updating a compilation video of HBA, but he plays hideous music like Black eyed peas and Rihanna over it. I would much prefer the original audio, the volume of the crowd whenever Ben Arfa receives the ball is almost embarrassing, but i love it If anyone can point me in the right direction for some good free software for doing football compilation videos I'd consider uploading his every game with the original audio and commentary.

gbandit Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 could actually watch him play all day. Went through the 13 minute compilation on youtube and it's fucking ridiculous what he does everytime the ball is at his feet. His technical ability and footballing brain are absurd. Just an absolute joy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Is he the single most gifted footballer to ever play for Newcastle? A better player than Shearer? A more talented player than Gazza? A better brain than Beardo? I know Ben Arfa could do with playing a full season before being mentioned among these players but does it really matter? O'Sullivan is considered the most naturally gifted snooker player, without winning every tournament? Just thought I'd open up a can of worms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I can only say he is the best French players we have had all time. Robert's second and Ginola's third. Hard to compare with Shearer, different position, different style and different characters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I'd open up a can of worms When you look at everything he achieved last season when he only got 20 starts and was coming back from a shocking injury, I think you have to talk about him in terms of being one of the top 3-4 players in terms of ability to play for us. If he continues it this season, then yes, he's definitely there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Just watched that video, hard to believe he plays for us. He really is incredible. Also, re: the Bolton goal, I don't know if he meant it (wouldn't be surprised if he did tbh), but the deft little bit of lift he got on the ball to get it over the on-coming tackle is just outstanding. I remember at the time some (non-Newcastle fans) were saying it wasn't that good, but to do that, at that speed is just genius. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Mad_Chris Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I just dread the day he inevitably leaves, I just cant imagine us ever being able to replace him. It was a complete fluke how he ended up here when he did. The only negative was his supposedly terrible attitude but he's been a saint the whole time he's been here. I wonder how far his talent can take him, his natural ability is as good as any player I've seen in the Premier League. I'd like to see him score more long range efforts, the space he creates when he shimmies and feints should able him to shoot more. I'd love it if he learned how knuckle a shot like juninho.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I still find it difficult to believe he plays for us I do too, when we signed him I couldn't believe it, and now he's playing well it's even more bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Its like getting a ridiculously good looking girlfriend, and all you do is worry over when she will dump you. Just enjoy it ffs, if you get dumped, at least you have fucked a stunner, if you are lucky, she stays for life We need to just relax and enjoy this phenomenon while he is here, and if we are lucky he might stick around for a loooong time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 In terms of natural ability and the unique nature of his game, I'd say he stands out of the players I've seen playing for Newcastle. Shearer was special in another way, but Ben Arfa's technique and footballing brain is superior to anything I've seen in Newcastle, let alone football in general. Very few players has his ability, the fact that he plays for us is unbeilevable. Not only is he ridiculously good, but a joy to watch for anyone who's in to football. The level of entertainment and the elegance he carries brings so much joy to our game. I'm constantly asking myself how on earth he ended up here, the circumstances were so specific and if it wasn't for him breaking his leg, I'm not sure he would have wanted to stay on.
