The Fish

Matt Ritchie with 1 goal and three assists, Matt Ritchie who has consistently been one our better performers in every game he's played... that Matt Ritchie?

I think he's a forward, but he's played off the flanks much more than from the centre. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yoan-gouffran/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/23825

So? I didn't find out about WWII first hand either. My sisters are unmitigated arseholes, this is true.

I beginning to think 90% of my opinion on this is born out of stand-ups repeating it.

My Dad's dad was a horrible prick, he was dead before my 1st birthday.

Sorry, my post wasn't really very well thought out. I meant to say "I thought everyone thought it and that there'd be evidence, but this is all I could find of any real substance" I'm pretty tired.

Get this real-life shit out of my Nerd-fest thread. Magnificent 7 is not Magnificent, but it's all right popcorn fare. Dr Strange is coming out soon and looks trippy as fuck.

Always thought it was common consensus http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/walt-disney-s-grandniece-backs-up-meryl-streep-s-racism-claims-anti-semite-check-misogynist-of-9064138.html

Haven't read the thread, but has anyone checked on Noelie? Great result, and proof that we can beat anyone in this division, great for Gayle to get his hattrick and great for Gouffran to continue his revival but... We have to focus for 90 minutes, stupid penalties have cost us too much already. We need to put chances away when we're on top. I now really want to see us play with 2 up front at home.

Not sure how much is simply down to Gouffran playing in his natural position?

surely?

Aye, I thought that, but Hysteria conjured images of panic and that didn't quite fit with what I had in my head. Never mind, I was probably only ever going to use it to be pompous anyway

More referencing Disney's pretty robust views on Jewish people, but aye you're not wrong.

You're a man who might know; is there a term for that kind of shared acceptance of a falsehood? Like 'cognitive dissonance' but on a grand scale? The kind of mass delusion exhibited by the Far-Right in the states during every election that means, regardless of the evidence stacked up against their nominee, they'll ignore, refute or twist reality and continue to support him/her?

Now we're talking.

Yeah that's fair, Ritchie is a rare mix of graft and technique. Think Robert was more likely to do the utterly preposterous and had more pace, but Ritchie adds more to this version of Newcastle United than Robert would.

Ginola and Robert wouldn't have, they're probably shit as well. Ditto Ibrahimovic, Le Tissier, Cantona, etc. What's Ben Arfa got to do with Rafa man? The discussion is about whether it's reasonable to hate an ex-footballer because he isn't the complete package. I'd say it's not reasonable and smacks of misplaced frustrations. Nobody is saying he's perfect, in fact most temper their praise by including criticisms.

Yes, that Rafa. What did Winning more than what those two did doing.

... No, because Dirk Kuyt is graft over guile. However, Ben Arfa is a better footballer than Dirk Kuyt. And not all managers play like Rafa does. Keegan and Robson didn't, off the top of my head and Ben Arfa would have got in both of their teams.

Just watching the video above while Django Django's "Default" is on the radio.The almost stuttering beat goes so well with his quick feet

Nope, but then neither would Robert or Ginola. They don't work hard enough. Who are our 1st choice wingers now? Matt Ritchie and Yoann Gouffran. Neither fit to lace the boots of the Tricolor Trio, but they don't half graft.

They all are man. I honestly believe the big issue people have with Ben Arfa is that they truly believe that it's reasonable to expect him to be the complete player, because he's unbelievable going forward. Nobody bitches and moans that Tiote doesn't dribble past players, or Lascelles doesn't deliver quality crosses. It's not their job, but an attacking player must defend? If HBA had that mentality to chase lost causes and put his body on the line, on top of being wonderful in attack he'd be world class and would never, in his life, played for our club. Similarly if Colback had any footballing ability he'd be plying his trade for the biggest clubs in the world. But because the Ginger Pirlo works hard, people forgive his ineptitude, forgetting that football should be entertaining otherwise we should all go and watch Iron Man events. Look at him go man, just look at him go I couldn't find any highlight videos for Jack Colback trying hard, sorry.
