Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

Words can't describe how minging Steve Bruce has been recently, it was so predictable too.

 

Start off well with limited players

Invest in better players to push on

Dip in form because you've no idea how to use them

Drop arse and play 8 defenders

Continue to drop because players are s****

 

It's the same with Pardew, just watch.

 

He's been playing Stephen Quinn behind Sone Aluko for god's sake. An absolutely abhorrent left back behind a guy who struggled in the SPL. Meanwhile, at the back, about 6 CBs slime about being absolutely disgusting.

When the August window closed I honestly thought they'd be a top 10 contender. :lol:

Yeah, but can he stumble across the touchline with the ball under the slightest pressure from a defender and give the opposition a goal kick? 

 

Also, could you imagine the shitstorm that would have whipped up if it was Ben Arfa and not Gouffran giving the ball away for that Tottenham goal.  Christ :lol:

That double-standard from our fans, players and manager is what made the entire HBA episode so blood-boilingly insufferable. He would tear teams apart but get blasted by everyone for giving away the ball. The rest of the 10 players would do fuck all and still give away the ball, and everyone would call it "graft."

He's the last thing I enjoyed about NUFC.

 

Same here. It was when he went I knew we'd lost the fight for good.

Yep, it was when we disposed of him and Mapou that I realised how bad things had become.

 

The arrogance of Pardew to just jettison talent because it suited him and the fans who lacked the foresight to see that the ones we have in reserve are absolute dogshit.

At least made our games semi bearable to watch. There's literally nothing now in an attacking sense

 

:thup:

 

He was the sole reason I went to watch some games :lol: Ayoze is the only one I enjoy watching for us now but he's too far up the field chasing down long balls to ever get any time on the ball.

That said he did look like he just couldn't give a shit at Hull when I saw him.  Didn't look like the player we saw here, then again Bruce did pretty much Pardew him right from the start.
