Hatem Ben Arfa (still a free agent)

On a seperate note, relevant to a discussion in this thread a couple of days ago, Mahrez just put in the kind of performance against West Ham Sunderland that would have had all of these "fans" who criticised Hatem during his time here up in arms. Massive game yet he coasted through it not bothering to defend properly, losing the ball frequently, having zero impact in the final third, generally looking uninterested, etc. Reminded me of Hatem's 45 minutes against Hull when he went from one of the best attacking players in the league at the time (publicly acknowledged by Pardew) to instantly a villain in the eyes of some after he failed to convert a couple of dribbles into something meaningful.

 

One wonders why Mahrez wasn't hauled off, blamed publicly, and immediately dropped/forced to play with the reserves - might be because Leicester won the game due to the rest of the team being competent, and therefore there wasn't this ridiculous double standard in play of expecting Mahrez to single handedly win games whilst absolving the rest of the team for doing nothing. Or maybe Mahrez isn't a "bad egg" or "an arsehole" like Hatem supposedly was. On which note, thank f*** we've got nothing but "good eggs" now, should be really handy for the Championship...

Because Leicester's manager isn't a complete arsehole who blames everything and anyone he can to cover for his own lack of ability, ie : a cunt.

Fucking hate Pardew.

 

edit - and every single bell end fan that absolved him of blame in this situation

 

Oh absolutely. Let's never forget the army of wongaloids. Hatem, the great divider.
