Disco Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 They might as well since the club are doing everything is their means to reduce access anyway, nowt to lose. By doing all this in public all they're doing is lessening the value of the asset. Good on HBA for sticking it up 'em. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Look, Pardew's a cunt and has handled this whole thing horribly but I just don't think HBA is blameless. We've been saying on here for the past 12 - 18 months he looks out of shape so it's not a surprise the club pull him on it even if it's for vindictive reasons.

Darth Crooks Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If Capella is a similar player won't he just do the same to him? It's not about attitude, it's about pardew and his crap methods. Let's just trust he'll show himself up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If Capella is a similar player won't he just do the same to him? This argument can work both way isnt it? If Cabella adapts well, the blame would be on HBA. A big IF though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If Capella is a similar player won't he just do the same to him? If we don't manage to flog him for profit before the last year of his contract then yes he will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the hypocrisy that's grating in this latest case of victimisation though. The plight of Blobby Jellyott during the season and he's not been publicly humiliated by the club. What's the difference except it's probably excess weight from Pardew spunk in Jellyotts case. The situation should have been handled within the club, but has been leaked as part of their clear agenda to discredit the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yes by watching them play Large majority can't go for more than an hour without being out on their feet. They are clearly not in shape. Doesn't matter though because they are either befriended by Pardew or under contract for an extended period of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Sissoko's case it could be to do with basically doing all the attacking by himself once Cabaye left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love it if a journalist asked him point blank to justify his petty, childish decision. Break it down Alan, exactly why are you not prepared to include Ben Arfa in your entire squad? Explain it please. f***ing w*****. He walked out his pre-Man City press conference last summer, when everyone thought Cabaye was going to Arsenal after about five minutes because that's all he was being asked about. No doubt if similar happened with regards to HBA, he'd do the same. He's like MA, why answer when you can just run away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 It's criminal what we've done to this guy. It really is. I really hope he digs his heels in and sticks his ground, and Pardew is sacked after 4-5 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is starting to exclude all journalists other than those from the their friendly "media partners" such as The Sun and Sky. No journalist will be given the opportunity to ask awkward questions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 As someone has just pointed out on twitter, at the Cardiff game Pardew was booed every time he left the dugout and HBA was cheered. This is all down to ego imo, I bet Pardew hated that does anyone doubt this? fuck all to do with his fitness they're just backing up all the horseshit released in the press last year about him not working hard, now he's come back fat as fuck as well see! pardew WAS telling the truth hope HBA see's the back of him, he'd be wise to sit it out to january to see if pardew fucks things up as badly as we know he can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Caulkin and Michael Martin exchanging made up chants referencing Hatem's weight the other day. That's all I've seen.

Thomson Mouse Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I don't understand why people are supporting him over the weight thing. Whether the club gave them the weight limit due to science or vindictiveness isn't the issue, the issue is that he's given them ammunition due to his unprofessionalism. If he was going to take Pardew on then don't give him any excuses to have a go and get the fans behind you, instead - if you believe the vindictive bit - then he's walked into Pardew's trap.
