I'm a huge fan of 'Hitch' but WTF has he got in common with HBA? he disdn't even like sport.. and he disliked Yorkshiremen..
Oh Ben Arfa indeed. When was the last time there was such great anticipation in seeing one of ours step out on the hallowed turf?

OMG...he can do everything...some of those passes are incredible...what a shot....the complete attacking player...can't wait to see him in the black and amber next monday!!!
I can't figure out if he is left or right footed as he seems as good on both sides. Edit: It looks like he is left footed but it looks like his right is better than a few right footers. I bet he is a bitch to play against as a FB simply because if you offer him the outside he is likely to just say 'Cheers' and cross it with his right.
