Meanwhile in Nice...

Anyone remember why we ditched this guy again?

 

He needs to get fat again

 

Because no-one wants to put together the highlights of the other 10 matches of moping around the pitch, not tracking back and whinging he'll have before he does anything good again.

 

Saw this on twitter and some were saying we need him back etc....
I think he had a rotten attitude and was part Pardewed too.
Remember he fell out with his club before we signed him and at Hull on loan too.
Apparently he had a rotten work ethic.
Hatem scored some great goals for us but also cost us a few. In short I'll have happy memories of some of his goals but will remember him more for his petulance sadly.
If he plays like that for 20-30 games on the spin then I may finally say he has his act together... but we all know he won't.

 

Meanwhile in Cardiff and in Coventry two other NUFC players are also doing very well.
Do l think we need to bring Sammy or Arma back, no not really, maybe they have just found their level.
HBA will revert to type before too long l fear.

 

Bassong had a canny game this weekend too I hear.

 

Meanwhile in Marseilles Remy Cabella is looking sharp on his first game back in France.

Lass Diara taking the limelight though with a banger of a goal.

 

I thought we ditched him because he was a lazy troublemaker who did more harm than good. I'd take Routledge back before him.

 

Alright chill out, no need to get narky you lot. I was just saying...

 

He'll do great in france!

 

Good on him, I hope he manages to salvage the rest of the career he alone has wrecked. I'm just glad he's not pissing around here anymore working out when to next pile on the pounds. Cracking goal for all its fairly average defending.

 

Fact of the matter is, Ben Arfa is the closest we've had to world class talent since Shearer.

He didn't and doesn't fit the time or the circumstance of our club. Another era and it would have been beautiful, but now we belong to athleticism first, work-rate second, technical ability last.

Players are unhappy, players move, and only the chosen few are selected for ceremonial spite. Pardon your torch lighting, ladies and gents, but our very own captain has spit the dummy out in far more dramatic circumstances numerous times, Tiote labelled us **** and there are very few exceptions to the corpus I would deem having shown less-than-exemplary attitude on the pitch.

Ben Arfa is undoubtedly a devisive character in certain situations, but I for one count myself privileged to have watched him play and score some unbelievable goals live, and most certainly hold no grudges. That goal was ****ing brilliant as well.

 

Nigel de jong helped too mind

 

Nah he's the biggest **** of the lot by a million miles

You just wait, he'll be being not very nice to Nice in no time.

 

Aye he got lawnmowered big time, no reason to be a fat **** though

 

Probably one of the most talented players to play at our club, phenominal talent and honestly up there with the likes of Neymar,Bale, Suarez, aguero. His in that bracket just below Ronaldo and Messi. In terms of talent and skill

However nowhere near consistant enough and the mentality of a 5 year old. But I dont really care about his faults because of the goals he scored against everton, Bolton and Blackburn, they for me scrub out all the negativity and thats what football is about, banging on in from 30 yards, or dancing round 7 defenders.

 

A poor mans Kieron Dyer.

 

Its true mind, I wouldn't have not had him at the club for all he was a pathetic little child. The good times were worth the trouble. Equally I'm over the moon his time has gone. I think what I found most sickly towards the end was playing on the deteriorating relationship between manager and fans, to try to justify the mess he alone got himself in. That selfish use of the fans passion and blind love for football was pretty low. However I struggle to class it as sinister because I look at him like a child rather than a manipulative adult.

 

We didn't even get a freekick

 

Harem always has a honeymoon period before he slips back into his old ways. He will not change.
