The College Dropout, oblivious to his branding.

Someone needs to change The College Dropout to "I can't believe it's not Ronaldo"

 

:lol: Or one of the p*ss-take ones.

What, not Ronaldo!

 

What, not butter? Was my favourite and Iceland fucking changed it to Just like Butter. Dicks.

"These people, their lives are humdrum, their jobs make them humdrum. They don't have much money in their pockets but they like a pint and they want to talk football. So it's your job on a Saturday afternoon to give these hard working people enough conversation for the whole week. You've got 90 mins every week to do it. It's your job to get on that field and have as many shots on goal as possible, to create as much excitement in the opposition penalty area as you possibly can. Every time you get on the ball you've got to give them something to remember, something for their weekly conversation in the pubs."

 

"Above all, don't let coaches talk you into anything other than what you've been bought for, that is to score goals. Every time you get the ball, you must think "how can I score a goal?". You've got to do your damnedest to stick it in the net. Remember, the opposing half is your stage. There are 10 others in the team to look after everything in the other half and 11 being there isn't going to make that much difference."

 

"There is one thing you must ensure. It is that during the game, you must maintain enough fitness, strength and stamina to be a threat right till the end. In the last minute, when the ball is booted out of defence, you've got to fight tooth and nail to get it, control it and the be able to run with it from the halfway line. You are going to have people kicking at you, pulling you and doing everything in their power to stop you, but you've got to have the strength to see them off. Then, when you've got to the opposition penalty area, you've still got to have the stamina to compose yourself and beat the goalkeeper. All this, because you are the match winner. Let nobody talk you into being anything else."

 

That's what Jackie Milburn said to Malcolm Macdonald when he signed for us. Contrasts nicely with the "Defend or your dropped" approach favoured by our beloved.

 

So according to Supermac, Jackie Milburn advised him to play in exactly the way that he would have wanted anyway.

 

Okay.

 

So fucking what. :lol: It's probably how a few of our current lot want to play, but they're not allowed.

 

I'm suggesting that MM may be indulging in a bit of poetic licence here.

 

They didn't call him Supermouth for nothing.

Sidney Govou, French international, who played with Hatem at Lyon.

Could someone translate the Hatem's part of his interview ? Please  :lol:

Among all your old team-mates who was the best?

 

"For pure talent level, it was Hatem  (Ben Arfa, Ed) . I do not know a player who could do what he did. It was impressive. He has something that others do not."

 

Cheers.

 

And he played with Zidane, Viera, Juninho etc...

 

Yep, he cited them (and others) but ended by saying he was the player who impressed him the most.

He also said that HBA was the best without forcing  his talent. Finally and between the lines, he's saying Ben Arfa didn't have the career he should have had because it was (football) so easy for him that he didn't care...

If I still did it, there isn't one player left who I'd want on the back of my shirt. It used to be a difficult decision and was a massive sign of respect.

 

Cisse or Colo are probably the highest sellers these days which tells you everything about our current lot. A 2 in 23 striker and a deserter are our heroes.

Fucking disgraceful stuff. The most talented player in the squad and he's been fucked off because he doesn't graft enough.

 

It's shameful, absolutely fucking shameful that Ben Arfa is leaving and the cancer is staying.

Remember when this guy went on strike to come here. Bet he doesn't regret that.

 

Don't suppose he thought he'd end up managed by such an ameuterish, clueless bellend.

I thought I knew what it was to truly hate a Newcastle United manager when Souness was here, same goes for Allardyce.  But this fucking detestable shit pipe is on another level.  Not only has he "managed" to make me not even want to see our games any more (which I thought wasn't even possible) but he's also wasted one of the most naturally talented players I've ever seen.  In fact even worse than just wasting him he's actively sabotaged him because he doesn't fit into his vile myopic view of Football.  The man's a fucking managerial cesspool.

there's obviously truth to the fact that HBA had trouble integrating at his previous clubs and was seen as a bit of a troublemaker etc. never really fulfilling his talent

 

what annoys me is the lad came to us in his mid-20's and was obviously extremely grateful for the club standing by him after the injury, he got himself back and got himself fit and focused on making the french national team as a result and at that point looked like he could really go somewhere...he has, however, been subject to the whims and ineptitude of pardew's awful management lurching from one bad decision to another usually with HBA the implied or stated culprit for his failures

 

if we'd had a different manager, one who knew how to set a team up at all (even functional with HBA given licence would have been better), we'd have seen a different player this last 1-1.5 years....i'm not saying he'd have become a world beater but he might have

 

reminds me of discussions around the time we weren't quite as shit where people were sticking up for pardew vs. ben arfa and a few of us were pointing out that whenever he got the ball the rest of the team stood still and watched him try to take on 4 players...certain people chose to believe that it was because he was a selfish cunt and the players knew they'd not get the ball off him...does anyone still believe that now?  or is the more likely explanation that pardew instructed the team to stand still in case HBA "fucked up" and left the team exposed...

 

the man makes me sick, we could have been watching a truly great, exciting footballer enjoying his football, instead we've watched an inept fuckwit crush him mercilessly to further his own ends
