Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

Newcastle United fans are no longer talking about Hatem Ben Arfa.

 

Nor is anybody at the club’s training ground and the player isn’t exactly flavour of the month at the KC Stadium either.

 

 

But the Chronicle thought they'd publish two articles about him today  :lol:

If Ben Arfa was half the player that some people think he is then Pardew would be embarrassed by his decision to send him elsewhere.

 

If Ben Arfa was half the player he thinks he is he would have bust a gut to prove Pardew wrong.

 

As things currently stand this decision is looking better day by day.

 

wherever you've been exiled to it's not f***ing far enough

 

It's true. Please return to your exile.

 

I'd love to strangle exiledmag to death, watching the life drain from his face.

 

what a dick ExiledMag is

I like the fact people just ignore that we've seen how good Ben Arfa can be with our own eyes in an attempt to gain the upper in this ridiculous pissing contest between our fans

 

Not playing at Hull though so haha we must have just imagines him walzing past players with ease and accumulating an enviable goals and assists ratio when he was actually allowed on the field.

This guy really should have taken the opportunity to go to Beskitas. Still my favorite player.

 

Seriously English managers are diabolically piss nowadays. Pardew, Bruce and so on they're all the same. Being wasted at Hull but once he's gone from here he'll have a point to prove and will do well.

It's never the charming prince's fault. :yao:

I'm definitely a Ben Arfa fan, but surely even his biggest fans have to question him now?

 

From what I can tell, he isnt injured.. yet isnt playing for/getting in the Hull team.  First line of defence for him would I assume be "Bruce is the wrong manager for him, doesnt like that type of player" or whatever.

 

Ok, so why did he sign him and sing his praises just after?

 

You'd say Pardew is "the wrong manager" for him too I assume.  But he's been a regular in the Newcastle starting 11 before, so that's that out of the window.  If you're good enough, you'll play?

Not having a proper pre season is an absolutely massive hindrance.

 

Seems baffling how he isn't getting more game time at Hull, although I've never watched him since he's signed so unsure what his performances have been like.

I'm not questioning him, why should I? I've seen him play.

Why should you? Cause his career is seemingly going/gone to shit despite him being this 'incredible' player. Apparently.

Picked lazy Ben Arfa against Arsenal and Liverpool, both away, and got a point in both. Then dropped him against Burnley and lost.

 

Aye, that certainly reflects badly on HBA. Bruce is a cretin. I already knew that.

That chronicle article where they said toon fans weren't missing Ben Arfa and supported Pardew's decision to ship him out was based on 10 Facebook comments. Ten fans replied. :lol: They're an absolute abomination of a newspaper.
