    just thinking about Ben Arfa after i saw him in training on SSN and though after what happened with Carrol and know probably enrique then is it a good thing that BA got injured? i know it was a broken leg and that is obviously a bad thing but considering he is now fit again and his career can continue then we can look on the bright side of a very dark situation.
    if ben arfa had played the premier league off the pitch this season when safety was the maximum we were going to achieve the wont it be better to have him next season when europe is a possibility. after all, if he did play all this season played well then he probably would have been sold for 20m and we wouldnt have him this season when we have the oppurtunity to get into europe again.
    im not saying that im glad he got injured, but there is often a silver lineing on a very dark cloud.
    still cant wait to see him play this season again though.

    cheers

    I see your point, because had he kept his form up, he would have been sold, simple as.

    I can't help but wonder if he'd not been injured where we'd be in the league table now.

    He has the ability to turn matches and perhaps some of those narrow defeats could have been turned into points.

    I really am looking forward to him playing next season.

    He's included in first goalscoring odds in the bookies and online surely he is not fit enough to be in contention tonight?

    No they just see that he's back in training so put him on the list, as it is technically possible he could play. Last 3 games he and Pardew have said <ok>
