Thanks for putting that together, man. 

 

The way he moved with the ball was truly a sight to behold when we first got him. Probably the most unique talent I'd ever seen pull one a black and white shirt. Joyful.

 

Looking forward to the 11/12 version. x

Why not?

 

I'll be releasing a 10+ minute 2011/12 version next week 😎

 

Because it hurts to think what could have been. :lol:

Whenever I watch clips of him, I get frustrated that I don't have a poetic enough vocabulary to express how I feel about him. I fucking love him.

In fact, it seems I love him even more with time, as when I see his clips looking older and less comparatively high-res, there's a certain nostalgia thrown into the equation and a feeling that he was the embodiment of everything I love about football and Newcastle United. The way things are going, I'm not sure we'll ever see the likes of him grace the league again. Cherki may be the closest, but he can't hold a candle to Hatem.

Untouchable.

I have this running debate with a non NUFC fan about the best ever player you have seen live. I keep saying Ben Arfa, saw both of his wondergoals from the gallowgate, as well as his first ever wonder touch where he controls a terrible ball dead and passes it effortlessly.

 

After getting annoyed with other NUFC fans for saying the same thing, he's finally shared some of the highlights with his (also) non NUFC fans, and they've also had to begrudgingly admit there was something a bit special about him. I'd say otherworldly instead, but will grind them down.

 

Whenever you do that complete compilation Alberto I'd request an REO Speed wagon soundtrack so they can't fight that feeling any more either.

its weird when conversations about truly gifted players crop up with fans of other clubs(offline) and you start enthusing about Hatem, you get a response that is a mixture of meh and really? And some of our daft fucking fans are like that as well

Players like this remind me why i love football, bring back the mavericks, the two footed geniuses, the mad foreign strikers you can stick your boring athletes up your arse.

Help me feed my HBA needs, what is the second wonder goal of Bolton was the first?

 

Blackburn in the cup was away wasn't it? So my memory is missing a goal here for me to relive
