Ketsbaia 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Dislike the bloke immensely and don't rate him at all. He'll still score against us. If he isn't out injured. Aye, he spent a lot of time out "injured" at our place. Around the time Kinnear arrived and he stopped turning up for training funnily enough. Heard the exact same thing from a good source like. One of the reasons I can't stand him. He was crocked a fair bit too prior to that though. He went through a similar phase of injury proneness under Allardyce when he tried to use him as a winger IIRC. When I was told about him skiving off training he went right down in my estimation which was incredibly hard to do considering I thought very little of him after his penalty against Arsenal.

Guest alex Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Fuck me I never seen that coming. I know he's hated on here, but I still liked Oba he's better than all bar Carroll put it that way. I always liked him, hence me and alex always debating over him, It's nice to have a player like him in your team that can produce a bit of excitement, something we lack until Arfa comes back. still think he's not the worst goals/games striker either. Not as good as Owen's in their time here though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 878 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 He's shite and I look forward to his inevitable string of shit performances, except the one against us where he scores five. HBA's full surname is "Ben Arfa", not "Arfa." If you called him that, you'd just be giving him arfa name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33983 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 An idiot who played for us as he did the odd time I saw him play for Inter Milan. Should be a cracking player but has no football brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Wonder if he's gone overdrawn lately. Or got shot at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he spent a lot of time out "injured" at our place. Around the time Kinnear arrived and he stopped turning up for training funnily enough. co-incidence the longest run of games both Viduka and Owen played was when Keegan was manager ? Also the most consistent performances from Martins was when Keegan was manager ? Not really. They're three mercenary players who disappear when the going gets tough. to a point, yes.

Tooj 17 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 My biggest Martins pet hate would be when he'd get the ball on the half way line, beat 3 mean, but simply go across the other side of the pitch and not actually move forward with the ball. The crowd loved it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd loved it as well. Did exactly that against Sheffield United. Got the ball and ran himself ragged for about 40 seconds, beating men and shrugging off challenges only to never move from the halfway line.

Tom 14021 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Played 16 times for Wolfsburg and 12 times for Rubin Kazan. A lot of money has changed hands so Birmingham have done well to get him for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Clearly in his early 30s by now. 26 is he not? He'd have been worth a punt IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) He got the hump with Kinnear after he got a bollocking for turning up late to training. "Oi! Insomnia you cunt, did your alarm not go off again?" "me very sorry mbongo umbongo" "FUCKING CUNNNNTNTTTTTT ooh, was that my heart I got a twitch. You cunt. Fuck off" You'll struggle to find a more left wing guardian reader than me but I do like a bit of racism every now and then. I'm still giggling since last Saturday when, about to finish operating at about 3am I saw the Chinese junior surgeon and my ODP said "don't get your hopes up about going to bed just yet mate, here comes fucking Gok Wan to book another case".
