Guest Spiria Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 HATEM Ben Arfa’s unlikely to play in Newcastle United’s games on the Algarve. The forward is yet to meet up with his team-mates after being given an extended break following his involvement in France’s Euro 2012 campaign. Ben Arfa will instead link up with his colleagues in Portugal. Manager Alan Pardew and his players flew to Faro this morning ahead of tomorrow night’s game against Olympiakos. While Ben Arfa’s countryman Yohan Cabaye was back on Tyneside for training this week, Ben Arfa has been given permission to fly directly to Portugal, where United also have a game against Braga on Saturday night. As Ben Arfa hasn’t trained ahead of the games, the 25-year-old will most likely be held back until Newcastle’s next game, the trip to Holland to face Den Haag on August 4.

Tiresias Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Yeah saw Nasri stormed out. French seem to have completely messed up man managing Ben Arfa so badly, hopefully will reinforce how well he's treated by pards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 copied from another forum that there's much more to the disharmony there than meets the eye. A player, won't say who, has allegedly been getting bullied by senior players because of his, erm, private life. Two or thee players have taken his side, most haven't, then it all kicked off once they were in Poland and Ukraine. Could be bollocks, mind. I've also heard ther's a bit of Dutch-like heat in the squad and that the players of African heritage, particularly North African heritage, are marginalised by the French-born proper Frenchies. Either tale being true would be pretty sad, in my opinion. French camp sounds awful and Ben Arfa should be glad to be out of it for a while if he's really being pushed out by Deschamps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the "private life" thing is referencing to homosexuality. Good to see that at least some players have taken their side, whoever it is. Hatem and Yohan are too good for that place.
