    HATEM BEN ARFA has riled suffering Newcastle fans by wearing a Paris Saint-Germain kit in a local gym.
    The French winger was kitted out in a PSG training top and shorts at a Tyneside health club on Monday night — two days after their humiliating 6-0 defeat by Liverpool.
    An onlooker told SunSport: “Ben Arfa was laughing and joking with two French pals in the weights room — he didn’t seem to have a care in the world.”
    Ben Arfa is a lifelong fan of the French giants and in January admitted it would be a dream to play for his home-town team.
    Gym-goers were furious to see one of their heroes swanning around paying no attention to relegation rivals Aston Villa and Sunderland slugging it out on the TV screens around him.
    Ben Arfa, 26, has not started a league game since December after hamstring troubles. He came on as a second-half sub against Liverpool — one of seven French players on the pitch for Newcastle.
    Fans have turned on Toon’s under-performing foreign flops, as well as boss Alan Pardew.
    The supporter added: “Ben Arfa did not look at the TV, even though Villa beating Sunderland could have a huge impact on our chances of staying up.”

    What a little bastard, string him up. How dare he wear the football top of the team supports, I'm raging about this. He was laughing too? Disgraceful, how dare he be happy. To top it off he doesn't watch our arch rivals get a spanking in a game? I'll punch him like a horse. <grr>

    The Sun is a fine upstanding paper too. They're not the type to get the big wooden spoon out or dabble in a bit of xenophobia. They're just not like that.

    <laugh>

    What a laugh this story is.
    Good to see him committed to out of hours training.
    And yes, the Mackems have made yet another Mag related thread out of it.
    Lol.

    I agree it is a pointless story. Just thought you lads might have wanted a look.

    Maybe PSG are the only club he knows who make the size XXL clothes which'll fit him at the moment...

    "one of seven French players"...I'm only surprised they didn't embolden and underline the "seven". And the "French" come to think of it.

    I don't just want us to stay up for NUFC anymore - I want us to stay up for the good of xenophobia. I want to see a Ben Arfa winner vs the Hammers coupled with everyone screaming (a la Norway vs England 1981) "Jamie Redknapp, Mark Lawrenson, Sam Allardyce, Louise Taylor....Gary Neville. Can you hear me, Gary Neville? Our boys gave one hell of a beating..."

    Christ Almighty. This guy is about our only hope of staying up, and we should all be grateful he seems to be putting in the extra hours to get fit. Would we be happier if he was sat in a McDonald's stuffing his face, dressed in Newcastle training attire and watching the Villa-Sunderland game with interest?

    Let's face it Hatem isn't going to PSG any time soon, no matter how much he desires it.

    Shame would have loved to see him with his kit off.

    As trivial as it is, it does send out all the wrong messages.

    Agreed, 99% certain it means nothing. But with rumours of dressing room unrest, uncertainty regarding the manager, which league we'll be in etc then it's a distraction we could do without no matter how insignificant it is, especially after HBA was smiling within seconds of both the Sunderland and Liverpool defeats.

    It's almost certainly nothing of any real concern, if were top 5/6 nothing would be made of it, but when you're swimming against the tide these are the little things that the club could do without.

    Well, I guess I am not committed to the club either...after 3-1 I quit watching and laughed about their result too. The alternative was to watch transfixed while muttering "We're doomed" over and over.
