PaddockLad 17645 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Short memory??? "This is the most confidence I have been given in my career and I want to do well for the club and the fans. I have realised that it is 30% talent and the rest is hard work. Here in the Premier League you have to be very strong first and after that you can play”. Spat the dummy out at Lyon too, not going to world cup in a pretty average French squad, his teammates seem to hate him and don't want him in a pretty average (being kind there!) Newcastle squad too. All Pardews fault. Didier Deschamps may know a thing or two, WC and EC winner etc, he agrees with Pardew and the Newcastle squad too, but its all Pardew's fault Pardew is a fuckwit, that's assured. But HBA has a long history of being one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no Pardew supporter but all the evidence points to the chubby serial toy-thrower being to blame here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Any player with ambition will get frustrated here. Cabaye threw the proverbial toys too but was too good/influential to make an example of. The fat thing should have been nipped in the bud by management/coaches though. He's not massive is he, a couple of weeks he could shift it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31195 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 They've tried though. They gave him a tailored routine in pre-season to shift the timber and no doubt it will have been mentioned to him since then but if a professional footballer can't even keep the weight off then you have to seriously question his attitude.

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Letting him go back to France to eat cheese every time he breaks a nail can't help either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31195 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I agree but it was done for the right reasons and I'm sure was appreciated by the players who have been afforded the option. Some might call it good man management but Ben Arfa took the piss, others will simply blame Pardew regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 They've tried though.

This. They're not stupid. From the outside I have to question Pardew's management of him - surely he's talented and creative enough that he should play more than he does regardless of any issues - but I really don't know for sure what has gone on behind closed doors. In the past Pardew has actually been praised for how he's handled Ben Arfa and it's no secret that he admires him as a footballer, hence signing him in the first place. It's a sad situation and I think all parties have done wrong, but how much by I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46026 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I don't think anyone is "defending" Pardew over this. They just aren't blind to the numerous faults of the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Pardew's management of the team as a whole has gone from good to bad, and it has with Ben Arfa as an individual. I can't ignore that. It must be difficult as a player to have any kind of respect for him the way he goes on. When a manager starts to lose a dressing room, you have to think that temperamental characters like HBA are the ones you lose first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31195 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 At the expense of team harmony? It seems that the rest of the team were fed up with him. Not that team harmony has won us as games recently granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no Pardew supporter but all the evidence points to the chubby serial toy-thrower being to blame here. How naive can you be? Let nobody kid themselves - the only reason for his move here was his overall poor demeanour. Taking him on was accepting the challenge, the current situation is the culmination of failing dismally at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
