Flartyblartclart Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 oldtype has been broken by Ashley / Pardew. :-( Dude sounds so doom and gloom it's depressing. f*** off to the regime. I'm a rational poster. I've just rationally decided that everything that can go wrong at NUFC will go wrong forever. Aye. My first game was in the '70's. We were shit and got beaten following defensive calamities. Not much has changed really has it? When I think of the time, money and emotion that I've wasted on this fucking club over the years man.... I accepted a long time ago that we'd never win anything but this isn't a football club any more, it's a plaything for our rotund owner who seems to have gotten bored of owning a football club and has now decided his lifelong ambition is to piss as many NUFC fans off as possible by lurching from one disaster to the next. And there's very little we can do about it. Stop going the games? It may be the only answer. The empty stands will provide more room for Sports Direct adverts. Guess who wins again. Sigh.

Holloway Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Such a shame, was pinning my hopes on a last reprieve under a new manager,a clean slate. am more agitated at his mis-management than the perceived lack of application.As plenty have pointed out though,something in his make up is holding him back from becoming a great player,and he looks to be rapidly falling away now. But if I read anymore `farewell my sweet prince quotes`, I`ll be needing boots with curly toes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Bottom line is he was good enough to get in ahead of the players who started instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toondave Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Oldtype is spot on, you'd have to have a massive set of blinkers or a serious obsession with Ben Arfa to think otherwise. Neither of which are in short supply on here must be said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of which are in short supply on here must be said. We should all have a serious obsession with Ben Arfa. We didn't fall in love with football for defensive wingers and hoof ball did we?

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Massive set of blinkers? Yeah because Ben Arfa wasn't treated like shit and wasn't dropped for shite like Obertan for no reason. Wake up and smell the shit man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Sadly managers will always use criteria other than ability to select a team. Happens at every level and at every club. Just gutting for us that Ben Arfa is exactly the type of player we love and need, and his ability is world class. Frustrating not to know the full picture of how hard he really is to manage as well. From an outsiders point of view it seems obvious that you should just play him every game regardless of what's going on off the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The one thing I think we can all agree on is that this is so tragic because it's eminently possible that we'll never see a player of his natural ability play for us again in our lifetimes. It was a truly unique set of circumstances that allowed us to get this guy. It's such a bleeding shame that the gamble didn't pay off because it could have been beautiful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Unbelievable post I spotted on reddit What fucking contributions? How is this upvoted? He was pure shite in most matches. Once in a blue moon he would pull off something amazing. But in 90% of games he produced zero end product, and wasted the ball every time he got it. You watch their top 5 youtube clips, no comparison. ben arfa appears to be much better. Or, you watch a match. Better still, several matches. No comparison, but for different reasons. Gouffran is far far better overall, and doesnt have that toxic attitude that needs to be gotten rid of asap as soon as it appears. ben arfa is an asshole, and not a team player, simple as. we are much better off without him. Imagine actually watching football games and coming to the conclusion that Gouffran is a far better player. Please don't be American. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
