Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

He'll be back if Pardew goes, I'm sure of it. Whoever comes in to replace him will get an instant rise in popularity amongst (most) of the fans by bringing him back. And I think it's clear he wants to play for the club.

doesn't seem like it, Bruce denied the existence of any recall clause before the match and why would he bother signing a new deal here when he could probably get much better offers to go somewhere else on a free with the bonuses of larger wages and nice signing on fee.

 

I met a Canal+ journalist in The Strawberry who'd just been interviewing Ben Arfa's agent on Saturday. There's a recall clause between 1st and 10th January, but it won't get activated if Pardew's still here, apparently.

 

Pardew's final act of cuntishness will be to quit on January 11th

I don't like .com at all these days. Have refused to go after Pardew contrary to the way they did with Robson imo. Club's pocket

 

Just noticed this beauty.

 

I tell you what, go into the Bodega on a match day and say that to Biffa's face.

 

He isn't wrong though.  So I don't suppose anyone would have a problem with telling Biffa.

 

Will you do it then?

 

I don't see any particular reason why I wouldn't talk a bloke if I knew who he was.  Probably not going to inconvenience myself to do so though.  Given that I live in London - he can always pop down and have a word himself if he wants.

 

There's a difference between talking to someone and accusing them of being in the pay of the club. My point still stands, having seen the clip of the kid who made the 'club's pocket' point, there's no way on earth he'd say that to the blokes face.

 

Maybe you would?

Why don't you go and say that to his face?

I don't think they're in the club's pocket, but I don't appreciate their fence sitting either.

 

If I say that to him, will I get a Biffa hiding? If so, I'll give it a go. I haven't been hit in a while.

 

Who mentioned a hiding? He's a very articulate chap and I'm sure he'd be interested to speak to someone making potentially libellous claims on a well read NUFC forum.

 

Well done that man for posting a zany gif, I must say it was a massive surprise.

I don't have a problem with nufc.com saying whatever they like, they don't have to be an impartial voice of the fans just because they've been around for ages and they've got one of the longest standing Newcastle sites.  And I don't think they pretend to be, like Wraith etc either. 

 

I don't understand why people say they're 'biased' or whatever, yeah, it's two Newcastle fans, and while they obviously tend to just to play it straight up and avoid the type of sensationalism you see on two-bit blogs they're still biased by their own opinions like anyone else is.  But they're also not the divine voice of reason on all things NUFC, and people can say they're talking bollocks or naively swallowing the club line if they like, it's not blasphemy just because they're long standing and dedicated supporters.

Just rang Biffa and called him a biased cunt who is in bed with the club. He literally slapped me through the phone. My face is as red as a Tomato and I'll probably need a lie down. I don't advise messing with him.

.com is biased and self-rightous, pedestal perched, snooty, old boy, holier than thou and no-more-worthy-than-anyone-else's-opinion. I'll happily say that to anyone's face. True Faith as well, f*** it.

I agree with all of that and don't agree with them a lot of the time. To say that they're in the clubs pocket is a different matter entirely IMHO.

As people? I don't know them, but their website gets on my tits. I've said it many times and in many ways, but it's the pedestal perching more than anything.

Well that's fine and I might be entirely wrong.  But your reaction is so OTT it's beyond a joke.

 

The libellous comment was a bit tongue and cheek to be fair.

 

You've admitted your error and I accept your apology on their behalf, time to move on.
