Is this guy for real!? How much money did you earn whilst being forced to kick a ball around with these awful youths? How often did you go to bed hungry haven not eaten? I feel absolutely no sympathy for you. Grow up and be grateful for what you do have. ' I could not see the light' oh please!!!!

He was a total disgrace for Hull City. His performance against Man Utd before he was hauled off in the 1st half should be shown after the watershed. A total lick of any effort from him

A player too big for his boots I reckon. Remember when he refused to track back when playing for Hull? He had a horrible attitude and wasn't that good anyway.

 

A nuclear holocaust is looking more and more enticing by the day.

 

:) Agreed.

Have to be honest, I did find his quotes about "hell" and "seeing the light".  A bit cringeworthy.  I know money shouldn't come into it and it's all relative.  But the way he described it.  It was as if he's been put into solitary confinement and been on a stale bread and water diet :lol:  I don't think he's blameless in this whole ordeal, either.  He definitely was porky at times and I'm sure he was a lazy sod at training.  Not that the last line bothers me at all.  I read Vieira was awful at training.  But come game day, he was constantly one of the best players on the pitch. 

 

I love HBA and he was held to ridiculous standards when he was here.  Playing consistently shit players ahead of him and giving them a free pass.  Whilst slating 'ATAM publicly, for every missed pass and not creating enough or defending enough, or whatever else he used to get blamed for.  Pardew was and still is, a complete and utter cunt.  I just always imagine what HBA would have been like under Sir Bobby or KK.

 

Pardew's ego got in the way and stopped him from making exceptions with Ben Arfa.  Because of this.  We've lost one of the most naturally gifted players I've ever seen at the club and our most exciting player we've had in recent memory.

Sacking Jonas and raylor by phone on the same call

Blacklisting 2 other French players for dodgy reasons

Backing Pardew after his record and conduct just so they could make a few quid from palace

Barely finishing above a Steve Bruce, no less, led side that just happen to be in the championship now.

Listening to the whims of a captain who threatened to abscond to Argentina on the basis on not liking some French lads

Citing attitude as a reason for this treatment whilst other players play despite striking

 

And the benefit of the doubt is given to the club based on a perception of not tracking back. He's no saint but I recall don't get it.

Doesn't look good on the club at all

 

Our club? I would think most people have either forgotten, don't care, or believe Ben Arfa was a waster.

Aye, don't underestimate the ability of the joyless buggers to bury their heads in the sand.

The Sky Sports comments are essentially 'you're not allowed to be unhappy if you have loads of money'

 

Which is what a lot of these types of people said when Cabaye admitted he had suffered from depression. 

 

I'm a massive fan of his.  But I did find his comments a bit strong, like.  Going through hell and seeing the light and whatever else he said.  It was well overboard IMO.  I get he was treated badly and as a pro that likes to showcase his skills and talents.  It must have been shit for him.   

 

But having to train for a few hours a day with the stiffs.  Whilst getting handsomely rewarded for it.  Is a long way from what the majority of the population on planet earth, would call "hell".

It's all relative though, you could piss and moan about how awful your week at work was and have this little cunt giving you hackies:

Definitely first world problems but that doesn't mean it can't affect him badly, people get wound up and have breakdowns over less, far be it from me to judge someone on what ails them. However, yes, he could be kicking a can around a bomb crater in some war torn country, so it could be much, much worse for him.

 

Hey we wanted to kill actual people for having to put up with 5 minute Pardew sound bytes a couple of times a week, imagine having to put up with that every day of your working life for several hours a day, the empathy will soon come flooding backm

Of course it's relative.  I did point out that it must have been shit for him.  But I still find his comments well OTT.  Especially when such a tiny percentage of the population are ever going to be in a position like his.  Comes across a bit shit IMO.   

 

I am fortunate enough, that I really enjoy my life and get on with people at work, my family life is great, the missus is sound as fuck, good social life etc.  A lot of people aren't so lucky and everyone has a different way of looking at things.  All that said.  If someone had a boss, who was a bit of a wanker and on their case all the time.  I would also find that a bit extreme if they described it as a living hell and comparable to solitary confinement in some sort of prison  :lol:
