Ben Arfa: compared us to QPR

[Azzurri]

Moving on from his silly comments, let's not kid ourselves - he's a very good player and could comfortably hold his own for a Champions League club.

I dunno.

Just because he scores the odd boss goal doesn't make him great. He's been thoroughly underwhelming whenever I've watched him play 90.

 

[Caudy]

He has a point, in the last few years Newcastle have won a load of trophies and they're doing great in the league right now

Oh wait... wrong United, k'off Ben Arfa

 

[lmurkder]

hes just a poor man's pienaar. except not as good

 

[Stan Lee Park]

He scored a great goal at Goodison last season or the season before, but obviously all his brains are in his feet and all his common sense has been blown away by the fog on the Tyne.
Having said that, I do have a soft spot spot for Newcastle. It's a swamp just outside Wigan...

 

[Chang Elephant]

I have written to Ben and asked him to retract and will post his apology when received.

BULLETS IN THE POST TO HIS MA. AND HIS MA'S MA. AND HIS MA'S MA'S MA.

Lol Hatem, u funi.

 

[deandixie]

Ben Arfa goes missing for 86 minutes a game, pops up with a wonder goal, Newcastle is the best he can hope for.

 

[degsy]

When was the last time Newcastle won anything?

1968 or was it 67

 

[Christiffa25]

This is what Newcastle do...signs players like Ben arfa demba ba cisse ect.... All players that they basically beg to come pay too much in wages in order to get the deal done and sell on the idea of them being a stepping stone.

And wonder why they get NO loyal players. Fair do's if u wanna run that way but don't moan when they wanna go.

Never trust the French (distin excluded obviously )

 

[when i score we riot]

Weren't we in for him as well when he was being an undisciplined crybaby at L'OM?

Funny how he goes on about the frenchie thing, by the way, especially with QPR and Everton then, who are arguably two of the "frenchiest" teams in the EPL - maybe with Arsenal included, by the way. Newcastle have Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Debuchy, Marveaux, Ben Arfa and Obertan - all players bought during the last 18 months or so.

Our contingent of francophones is not bigger, but it's been around here for longer. We have Distin, Gueye, Fellaini, Mirallas (both french-belgs), and then we used to have Saha. And Billy and Heitinga have the same colors in he flag FFS. Liberte, Fraternite, Egalite and koff Arfa!
