Ben Arfa’s very first goal for Newcastle was at Goodison Park in September of 2010.
Ben Arfa scoring against Bolton
That’s when he got the ball about 10 yards outside the penalty box, moved to his right, and then thought I better get the ball on my left foot, so he moved to his left again.
And then when no Everton players came towards him, he simply rifled the ball into the back net giving Tim Howard no chance, for a spectacular strike.
After that game whenever Ben Arfa got the ball 10 yards outside the penalty area, opposition players immediately went to close him down, but then of course he broke his left leg at Manchester City a few weeks later, and missed the rest of last season.
In case you haven’t seen that goal lately here it is:
And that goal was enough to give Newcastle all 3 points, and we are hoping the Magpies can get the same return on Sunday in our final game, of what has been a terrific season.
But the Frenchman has come back in great style this year, and has just recently been included in Laurent Blanc’s provisional French squad for Euro2012, and he has scored six more great goals for Newcastle this season.
The former Manchester United and England player, Gary Neville, has voted Cisse’s second strike at Chelsea the goal of the season, and Ben Arfa’s goal against Bolton Wanderers, as the third best goal.
Of course Ben Arfa also scored a stunner against Blackburn in the FA Cup, but Sky Sports didn’t have the rights to that video, as Alan Pardew explained:
“The only thing is Sky didn’t have the broadcasting rights for Hatem Ben Arfa’s goal against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup.” “That would have been the top goal for me.”
“Ben Arfa’s goal against Bolton Wanderers was third, so from my point of view we have had three out of the four best goals this season.” “You have to be pleased with that.”
So Newcastle are in the news for the great goals thay are scoring these days, and it’s excellent press for the club.
Well, in case you have forgotten about Cisse’e wonder goal at Chelsea (no chance) here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmn00WMDLxA
And here is Ben Arfa’s goal against Bolton Wanderers.
And why not – here’s Ben Arfa’s FA Cup goal against Blackburn.
Newcastle have some team this season!

It’s been a great season. Hope Pardew gets manager of the year.
12 KevinHann // May 11, 2012 at 3:01 PM
I am extremely curious for how much our income has increased this season. We will get a small slice of extra TV money because of our better league position:
5,3 million more than last year if we finish 5th;
6,1 million more if we finish 4th;
6,8 million more if we finish 3rd.
These are the figures in case the terms of the TV deal are unchanged for this season.
We could get a little extra from another article of the TV deal if our televised games this season are more than last time – we had 16 televised matches in 2010/11, but I think we have had 17 this season so that won’t make a huge difference.
I’m not very sure what the difference is in terms of prize money from the FA for our final position.
We should have achieved something better in terms of sponsorship as this is a field we have a massive gap to make up for! (And thus the notorious rename of SJP)
We should have kept the salaries in the same bracket or even brought them down a little bit.
Sadly we don’t have any extra revenue from cup games as we only had 1 home game in Carling Cup.

Say what you will about our finances but our business model is still in a fragile state. If we truly have to fund ourselves with the income we generate we will forever be challenging but never winning.
To enable ourselves to become a ‘Massive’ club we need to exploit the overseas markets of Asia and America and only then can we have the money available to become a major force and dominate the PL.
If you ask me we need to find American and Asian youngsters and truly shownour business model to be exceptional.
That is the future for us. To take NUFC into the global Market big time. Then we will not only have the resources to challenge but the finances to bring in unlimited punts of decent players should we wish too.

The financial figures in the telegraph show that the ‘top 6′ clubs (exc NUFC) are all big wage payers, currently we are seriously punching above our weight in this area, hopefully this will be improved as income goes up or we will be at the continued mercy of these teams, and will always struggle to consistently finish top 6 IMO.
Although our current league position shows that a one off season can see a team like us challenge for 4th, thinking that we should be pushing for 4th next year with our current financial constraints will be difficult unless our scouting continues to perform miracles.
I still see us competing next year for 6th/7th and this should be deemed acceptable and anything else is a bonus.

20 KevinHann // May 11, 2012 at 3:21 PM
Our figures this season will be better than the ones in the Telegraph, though not that much to close the gap.
You have to consider that clubs like Tottenham have a tremendous boost because of the Champions League campaign they had – and that is why they are so desperate to get in again.
Apart from that, clubs like Liverpool are operating on a great loss with the hope to return to the top 4. They are very dependent on realizing that goal, if they don’t achieve it in the next season or two, they will have to cut their losses despite their far superior merchandising and sponsorship deals.
It would be tremendous for us if we can get 3rd or 4th, absolutely tremendous. We will guarantee around 30% higher income just because of potential TV/prize money, not to mention the extra revenue because of match day etc. And we will truly cut the financial advantage clubs like Tottenham have over us right now!
Man Utd, Arsenal and even Liverpool are too much ahead, can’t compete with them anytime soon. Man City and Chelsea are off the charts.

P.s stop that nonsence about Gosling leaving. He and Obertan will be very usefull players next season, believe me.
22 KevinHann // May 11, 2012 at 3:25 PM
Something to consider about our model:
Alan Pardew is on 500k/season contract.
Got any idea how much the average for the Prem is? Not even talking the big guys here… McLeish is earning many times that and look where Villa are.
The serious question is how to maintain that level of performance and compete continuously with the same model without losing your assets because your income isn’t growing fast enough to keep them.
23 out of toon // May 11, 2012 at 3:31 PM
anyone…. whats the word on simmo (and best/guthrie for that matter)????
also beattie i’ll be toasting 3rd place from here in australia, and enjoying taking a sickie on Monday
24 KevinHann // May 11, 2012 at 3:33 PM
Simple truth is we have to accept we are likely to lose these assets and try to replace them.
The alternative is we keep them and we stall because we can’t grow fast enough. It’s a matter of choice of course and certain risks can be taken, but with a model producing results in place already it’s highly unlikely.
Don’t be surprised if we sell players like Tiote and Ba, or even Krul given a massive bid for them. In the situation we find ourselves at, it’s imperial that we are able to replace them with sufficient quality, keeping them is good and potentially important, but sadly not imperial.
25 KevinHann // May 11, 2012 at 3:34 PM
And you have to have in mind that doesn’t concern only the players. It is just as valid for Pardew. Or Carr.

Simmo’s statistically the best RB in the league however in reality he is dog poo.
Best and Guthrie are leaving the club, close the door on the way out boys and enjoy the rest of your careers at sh1tty clubs.
29 Indian Magpie // May 11, 2012 at 3:38 PM
I Know that we are all NUFC supporters but calling other clubs sh1ty is out of order (apart from mackems)
30 KevinHann // May 11, 2012 at 3:40 PM
Come on, Simpson is not dog poo, he’s quite a decent RB. I’m absolutely comfortable with his presence in our defence and he has had a very good season. He’s not world class and probably not one of our best players, but easily one of the better in the squad. Unless we can spend say 15 million on a fullback, we will have to risk on someone to just replace him successfully, let alone improve as a side.
31 out of toon // May 11, 2012 at 3:42 PM
check thanks – figured best and guthrie were leaving to ‘greener’ pastures
was hoping to keep simmo – imo a great squad player, need players like him for cups and europe and bring in big guns for premier league
can see his pooey side also tho… what a twat for turning down 25thou

32 KevinHann // May 11, 2012 at 3:44 PM
Imagine we sell Cisse for 18-25 million to say Real Madrid in the summer or the winter, and that’s quite possible. Wouldn’t that worry you a bit more than the urgent need to get rid of Simpson?
Btw you lot realize we can’t keep Cisse for more than a season and a half if he keeps scoring at the same rate, right?
33 KevinHann // May 11, 2012 at 3:45 PM
Unless we are a Champions League club, that is. Then we would stand a chance to keep him a little longer.

Perch has come good,very good in fact but he wasn’t that good not so long ago so maybe playing him in place of Simmo when his confidence was shot might have had an adverse affect,I think the right strategy was played out.

Hopefully we can get a good solid win over Everton as i’d like to see Marveaux and Tavernier both get a run out if we have a comfatable enough lead. As well on the the Ben Arfa goal vs Everton look at the related videos and watch the one with Ben Arfa & Dialby having a fight it’s so funnny.

I’ve talked alot on here about bringing in new players but after seeing the latest rumours and doing a bit of research into players and what their likely price tags will be i have concluded my 6 man list i would try to acquire(not including all the development players we will require):
Mapou Yanga Mbiwa, Ezekiel Fryers, Mathieu Debuchy, Moussa Sissoko, Junior Hoilett & Jay Rodriguez.
45 nufc786 // May 11, 2012 at 4:49 PM
Everton v Newcastle
This is an interesting one. Newcastle would be a big scalp for Everton and, if the Toffees win, they will finish seventh and above Liverpool.
The Magpies had the right approach in trying to keep things tight rather than attacking Manchester City last Sunday because, when teams have beaten City this season, that is how they played.
If you go and take City on, with the attacking players they have got, you are asking for trouble. So Newcastle boss Alan Pardew was correct to try and be a bit cuter than he might have been against a lesser side. It is just that City were the better team.
Newcastle will also be pushing hard for victory because they know they could still end up in the top four depending on how Tottenham and Arsenal do at the weekend, but I have a funny feeling this will end up as a draw.
It has been a good season for Everton but a very good one for Newcastle. I’d like to think they will be up at the top of the table next year too because we have seen that they have some very good players, and they shouldn’t be far away even if they lose one or two.
Prediction: 1-1

@nufc786 i just think that it was just a training ground spat as both were young & Benny most likely got on Dialby’s nerves as he was very wreckless back then but it looks a long time ago so i reckon they’re alright now but if Dialby plays against us next season with Benny playing we’ll see if the rivalry is still there.
48 supatoonkid // May 11, 2012 at 4:53 PM

FROM NUFC.COM
My Best Day:
It can happen….
Fifteen years ago today, Newcastle went into the final day of the season needing an unlikely set of results to qualify for the Champions League. And it happened.
United needed to beat already relegated Nottingham Forest at St. James’ Park and then hope that Liverpool (remember them) and Arsenal would falter, leaving us to claim second place with only two teams eligible in those days.
There was also the added interest of the mackems and smoggies also in relegation bother but that was just hoping for far too much on one day….
Before kick-off the table looked like this:
Pos Team Played GD Pts
1 Manchester United 37 30 72
2 Liverpool 37 25 67
3 Newcastle 37 28 65
4 Arsenal 37 28 65
16 Southampton 37 -5 41
17 mackems 37 -17 40
18 smoggies 37 -9 38
19 Coventry 37 -17 38
20 Nottingham Forest 37 -23 34
Liverpool were at Hillsborough while Arsenal were at the Baseball Ground with Sheffield Wednesday and Derby both in the top half of the table.
The relegation fight saw the mackems travelling to Wimbledon (at Selhurst Park) while the smoggies were at Leeds and Coventry had a mountain to climb at White Hart Lane.
On a glorious day at St. James’ Park, Newcastle went goal crazy and were four up inside 36 minutes thanks to Asprilla, Ferdinand(2) and Shearer – what a forward line!
Elsewhere, Liverpool were goalless and Arsenal were losing, while at the bottom Coventry had taken a shock two-goal lead through Dion Dublin and Paul Williams before Spurs pulled one back through Paul McVeigh. Both the mackems and smoggies games were goalless at half time.
The table at half-time:
Pos Team Played GD Pts
1 Manchester United 38 31 75
2 Newcastle 38 32 68
3 Liverpool 38 25 68
4 Arsenal 38 27 65
16 Southampton 38 -6 41
17 Coventry 37 -16 41
18 mackems 38 -17 41
19 smoggies 38 -9 39
20 Nottingham Forest 37 -27 34
It couldn’t stay like that surely…?
Robbie Elliott scored another with 13 minutes to play for us to make it 5-0 and although Arsenal had taken the lead at Derby, they weren’t going to match our big win.
Liverpool trailed at Hillsborough to a 75th minute goal from O’Neill Donaldson but Jamie Redknapp equalised with eight minutes to go – by which time the Owls had lost the services of goalkeeper Kevin Pressman to injury.
With Coventry still hanging on at 2-1, Leeds went ahead at Elland Road through Brian Deane, only for ‘Boro to level two minutes later through Juninho. The mackems were still drawing 0-0 against Joe Kinnear’s Wimbledon.
Liverpool seemed certain to get a late goal to dash our Champions League hopes but Wednesday held out and we’d done it! Meanwhile, Jason Euell found the net for Wimbledon on 85 minutes, ‘Boro could only draw 1-1 at Leeds and were already down.
All eyes turned on White Hart Lane and Selhurst Park and when the whistles were eventually blown at both (the start of the second half at Spurs having been delayed), Gordon Strachan’s Coventry had somehow survived.
Meanwhile our pals from tees and wear were both relegated -’Boro hilariously falling partly due to a three point deduction for failing to fulfil a fixture at Blackburn Rovers the previous December, claiming a flu outbreak.
The mackems would then suffer further as their misery was beamed out to the nation in the BBC TV series “Premier Passions”, the foul-mouthed rantings of Peytar Reid worth the licence fee on their own. Refusing to call relegation anything but “scenario B” didn’t really work….
The British Film Institute Archive helpfully summarises the final episode as follows:
On the last day of the 1996-7 season, relegation issues have gone to the wire. If the other results go as expected, and they win at Wimbledon, sunderland will avoid the drop to the First Division. However, things do not turn out quite as anticipated.

Ofcourse i would pick Collo. I am just saying Kompany deserved it too i guess. It’s not like either award has gone to someone who doesn’t deserve it

It brings back memories to me too…just not good ones.
It has good bits but it is so stretched and has so much unnecessary bits in it

NUFC may be there is hint in the NUMBER too.

nufc 786
i am not really a fan of Bollywood. They have good ideas but their execution lets them down every single time. I guess its just not for me, personally.
but if i had to pick one then er…maybe Munna bhai MBBS

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has been named as the
Barclays Manager of the Season. Pardew has overseen a superb
season with the club set for their highest league position since
2003-04 when they finished third under Sir Bobby Robson. You can
hear from Pardew and his assistant John Carver on BBC Radio
Newcastle at 19:00 BST. Report on bbc sport

Congrats to Pards… but still don’t even a word about it on Sky…
