joeyt Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Would have been funny if he still played for Hull and scored the goal to relegate us on Sunday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 So glad we binned this lazy turd off so that we can give some real grafters a chance. Just look how well we've done without him, it's a joy to behold. So proud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Fucking Madness man, sounds pathetic but I really can't let this one go - we had Hatem Ben Arfa here and Pardew and co. somehow managed to fuck him about all day every day, he still loved us, he still wanted to play here, he felt at home here and they managed to kick out a player we all loved and admired and enjoyed. Fuck them man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 If Hatem, Santon, Marveaux and Yanga-Mbiwa were still here as bad as Carver has been we'd at least be safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppe Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Watching him on Youtube is depressing He was kind of like Ginola in the way that he might not track back or "run his socks off" but he could produce that bit of magic or get you a winning goal from nothing. Keegan knew this with Ginola but we, instead of using him in a similar way, shipped him off in favour of another headless chicken. Tragic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Fucking Madness man, sounds pathetic but I really can't let this one go Same here. Plus the revisionism that has gone on since, the redefinition of what a 'hard working' player is... We'd have a team full of Alan Smiths and Mike Williamsons if anti Ben arfa types had their way. Which is pretty much what we do have and have become what Sunderland were a few years ago. Sickening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 He would've been labeled as the sole reason we are in this mess, actually glad he's not here to take the blame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leek Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Just watched a youtube video of him while he was here, man it was depressing as fuck. The treatment of Ben Arfa and the subsequent demise of any attacking football since is still the thing that riles me up the most of anything in recent years. With any luck Pardew will have to sell Bolasie in the summer, he'll soon be back to norm then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just like last time we were in this position and he never turned up. Apart from the crucial equaliser at Loftus Road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmoset Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Reckon if he'd had just 20 minutes at the end of every game on this run he'd have at least fashioned a couple of goals/assists out of somewhere, which would make a hell of a difference if it had even got us 1 extra point.

Pretty much. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, if he was still here, it would make literally no difference to our league position. You honestly don't think he could have won us a game in this wretched run we have? Probably not. If everyone else doesn't give a monkey's then I don't get why the master of not giving a monkey's would be any different. Especially if his time at Hull is anything to go by. Also find it bizarre that people would think players like Marveaux would have saved us... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The idea that someone with Ben Arfa's goal/assist record per game wouldn't have been worth two more points over the course of an entire season is absolutely laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because Marveaux and Ben Arfa are better footballers than Ryan Taylor and Gouffran, and a team with better football players tend to win more games than others.
