bulivye Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 i often wonder, "What if Nigel de Jong hadn't broken HBA's leg that season...?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 It is weird in football, how your career and your pay depends on the whims of a couple of random blokes who don’t need to give any reason for their decisions. Not sure I’d go as far as legal action mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Unai "Pards" Emery. As a diehard HBA fan, I hope he sues them for every penny, and the court orders Emery to become HBA's butler, a la Seinfeld. As an objective human being, this lawsuit doesn't have a leg to stand on You can't sue people if they don't pick you to play, man. I love you Hatem, but, lol.

It can stand on the point he had an employment contract and was refused entry to his place of work as well as refused contact with his co-workers. He wasn't just not picked to play, he wasn't allowed to train with them or be around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Fucking released him. Fired him. Alan Pardew and John Carver. Fucking released! Don’t, man... He was fat, apparently.

Away Day Gadgie Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 So infuriating that Ben Arfa was supposedly fat and Rob Elliott was a top pro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 He was definitely overweight at the start of 13/14. He was also still definitely the most talented player at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I think time will be kind to HBA like. Those old enough will know that Ginola and Robert were often criticised, particularly post-Keegan/post-Robson when that pair of dour, no-nonsense ball sacks came in, then he was booed on his return. Yet now it's like none of that happened and he's suddenly rightly seen as one of the best players we had under Keegan. HBA's just as talented as Ginola was, just in a different way, but produced much more in a far inferior team, so you'd think that in time that'll dawn on people/there'll be some rose-tinted reminiscing going on.

LV Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 So infuriating that Ben Arfa was supposedly fat and Rob Elliott was a top pro Some even used to moan that he lost the ball too much. As if the sort of player that he is doesn’t lose the ball more often than a Jack Passback. This guy used to get me out of my seat and take my breath away with his skill yet some thought he wasn’t good enough. Gave me the rage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I stumbled across the highlights to our home tie with Benfica the other day. He was vital to the goal we pulled back but that's not so much why I bring it up; at 3-2 he cut in from the right, shimmied, made soon room and whacked it just over. Even watching those highlights, knowing full well the final score, several years after the event - that moment engaged a real buzz and anguish as it went over. I actually let out a brief anguished "arghh." He was such an exciting player, and his good moments more than outweighed his frustrating ones. That's just what you get with players like that.

Mike Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Fucking released him. Fired him. Alan Pardew and John Carver. Fucking released! Don’t, man... We're obligated to scream into the void every time he completes a dribble until he retires. He should still be here, and it's just fucking outrageous the sequence of events that derailed his time here. It's too dumb to be true but we all saw it.
