AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 That time when he beat two players and got the shot off to the near post was a ridiculous bit of skill. The radio commentator nearly fainted at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 That right back from Lille or Santon on the right side, Ben Arfa wide right Debuchy? would be a great signing he really impressed me against Germany the other week, i know Cabaye absolutely raves about him.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 "Hatem is good, very very good but we have to be aware of the dangers going the other way. They have a young boy McClean who has made a big impact and looks like he could be the new Damien Duff. We have to take that in to account." No we f***ing don't man! We're the home team FFS. Why don't we make THEM have to take into account our offensive players? Why isn't it MON the one who is saying "They have a young boy Hetem who has made a big impact and looks like he could be the new *insert generic name here*. We have to take that in to account."? It's f***ing pathetic, man, it's James f***ing McClean, we are actually going to keep Ben Arfa on the bench because of James f***ing McClean Mate, that quote was fake/made up! just seen this now. fucknng hell man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomlkier Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I found it frustrating at the lack of movement when he's on the ball, seems like we just pass it to him and everyone just stands around waiting for a moment of magic. Our players need to adapt to Ben Arfa's game as much as the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Utterly ridiculous he's been given a bit part role for 2/3 of the season like It's an absolute sham He's scored goals and got assists, had a few poor games but certainly looked our most creative midfielder overall this season. Absolute rip off that he's been limited to so few appearances. He's an exceptional footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The last time he changed how we played was QPR when Cabaye got injured & we instantly improved. He did then start the next 3 games v Fulham, Brighton & Blackburn. Only dodgy performances in the latter two saw him get dropped. If he plays well Pards will keep him in i imagine.

Interpolic Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Lad in the pub accused me of HBA bias ("I know you're his biggest fan but he loses the ball constantly, etc") when he came on but in the second half couldn't help admitting he's just fucking magic. Keep telling him I'm not his biggest fan btw, just simply needs to be in the side by now, especially given the alternatives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Utterly ridiculous he's been given a bit part role for 2/3 of the season like It's an absolute sham Especially when we've given so much time to Obertan, a lesser player who needs to be given exactly the same time and patience to see if he will deliver.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 With Pardew the difference is hes going on recent performances over reputation. Ben Arfa was poor against Brighton & Blackburn, any other player wouldnt get starts after that. He was very good today, its about that simple.
