Mike Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 1 minute ago, Nobody said: Pretty much every player these days would have gone down from at least one or two of those attempted tackles on him for that goal. Yamal probably would still be down if it had been him. That first lad genuinely just phased through him. Ben Arfa was so class even physics didn't want to be a bother. Gordon rolls 75 yards after that tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Just now, Infinitely Content said: Even if thinking about him makes Mike want to hurt people, it's still a brotherhood and that's a beautiful thing. Help me I've been fucking fuming for 15 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if thinking about him makes Mike want to hurt people, it's still a brotherhood and that's a beautiful thing. I still remember some guy on here posting about "not one extra point". Meaning Benny's presence on the field wasn't really contributing to any meaningful result. Even though he was scoring or assisting almost every time he was given a bit of playing time...

In some way, the brokenness and injustice of that whole situation that spelt the end of his time here just makes him even more great and majestic to me. At least that's been my emotional coping mechanism all these years. I fucking love him, probably more than anyone should love a footballer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's doing okay, as that level of misery and joylessness should only be found in the fictional world of Dostoevsky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's astonishing that there's people who were there, who saw the bloke play for us, and still slate him. Anyone coming out with this shit is outing themselves as not understanding the point of football, and is nailed on to be wrong about absolutely everything.

Kaizero Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 On 09/04/2026 at 18:46, Infinitely Content said: Aye, I was fortunate enough to be in the Gallowgate for them both, the Bolton one was glorious for the directness and speed of it all, but the Blackburn one was beyond belief. When you look at this still image, 10 or so yards into the opposition half, 3 players closing him down, a fully set back 4. How he weaves his way into the 6 yard box from that position and smashes it into the roof of the net is absurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we get set piece coaches and articles about why Declan Rice is allegedly the best midfielder in the world. Great nostalgia here, too. I was at loads of these games. One of my favourite kits and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Saw a kid (probably about 11-12) earlier cutting about Whitley with a retro Marseille away top with Ben Arfa on the back. Sensational stuff from the lad given his age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted yesterday at 20:57 Share Posted yesterday at 20:57 Pardew really was ahead of the times. He created blueprint for modern day fullbacks with how he treated Ben Arfa. Yes you can attack Hatem, but can you defend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
