Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)

This is f***ing bizzare... Why not wait until the new manager is appointed rather than shipping him out?

 

More reason to believe Carver is to take over.

 

Or Colo as captain said he's not welcome back here

 

So we're getting rid of pretty much the only player whose very name can put asses in seats and IMHO is our best player based on the opinion of a 32 year old who hasn't had a good game in 2 years? Christ this club is screwed.

 

Basically yes. I personally would have sided with HBA over Colo as i don't think his conduct as captain has been brilliant and Colo is on his last legs, but the club seem to want to him him at all costs. The dressing room was split, the French lads Vs and the older pros stuff that was flying around last year that got the papers banned were completely true; cabaye kept it all together and as soon as he left it fell part whilst colo wasn't interested in healing it.

 

It left HBA in a vulnerable place with his allies being picked off one by one. One more overstep of the mark and it was showdown time, not with Pardew who's ego believed he could tame him, but with Colo who at this point had all the power and HBA was shipped out of the club to Hull once HBA was made poster boy of the fans campaign against the club and Pardew.

 

HBA & Pardew got along quite well, even when he left he didn't stick the knife in, even said he didnt want him sacked.

 

Well that's my take on it.

This reminds me so much of how I felt when Ginola left. Except I'm not 30 and not 12, so I can hold it together a bit more. The kid me would be in the fetal position, sobbing in the shower right now.

I would have thought that after being on here for like 7 years, you'd know when I'm exaggerating for comic effect like. :lol:

Exactly the same reception that Ryan Taylor or Obertan would get imo.

 

 

Ah man, I hate seeing that, it's horrible.

Amazing photo.  Wherever he goes, mobs of besotted fans are there to greet him.  :aww:

 

He is a PR machine.  This is on top of his other qualities:

 

- dazzling footwork

- mesmerizing runs

- champion finish

- charismatic personality

- brilliant smile

- can understand what babies and animals are saying

- can make bistro-quality poached eggs

- can accurately predict earthquakes

- can heal burn victims with his touch

- can fly backwards around the Earth to turn back time

- etc etc

Best image I found of Ben Arfa laughing when Enrique got his chance as a goalkeeper. Good times  :D
