Also - I hate Alan Hansen and his constant criticism of Ben Arfa.

Why on earth would his game improve by tracking back? He's a forward/attacking midfielder - not a box to box midfielder.

Ben Arfa is a class player. That good actually that I doubt you'll keep him for long if he stays fit this season and puts in a string of good performances. Also when I've watched Newcastle I've never really thought Ben Arfa was lazy, he does track back, not all the time, but he's certainly not a lazy guy who just sits up top and doesn't help out.

Was at Villa Park today, good craic. Weimann and Lowton were completely rubbish and cost Villa the match. Pies were delicious though

He defends from the front which is what all forwards should do - but he was slating him as Matt Lowton managed to get a cross in and Ben Arfa was 20 yards away from him or something.

If that's headed out then he has the free reign of the right hand side as Lowton is nowhere to be seen.

HBA was against Luna anyway, and mostly pinned him back. Although I think Pardew may have switched him after Newcastle went 2-1 up to pin back Lowton.

Aye, it was late on in the game when they were going for it - of course the full backs are going to advance.

It's harder to expect wingers to track back, and to be fair, Ben Arfa did track back a bit more than usual yesterday, particularly towards the end.

Wingers I agree with, but Ben Arfa isn't a traditional winger - he's more of a forward.

Looks like it.

From what I gather, West Ham were terrible yesterday - something they seem to have been since the first day of the season. Obviously no out-and-out striker given Carroll's in the knacker's yard doesn't help.

David Moyes on Ashley Young and diving: "I have spoken to him privately, need retrospective punishment. Referee got the decision right. But I can't promise that it won't happen again with Young."

Yeah, I can remember him being slated by United fans for his antics last season.

I don't buy this Young is crap attitude. When he joined he showed us what he can do but he has been shit since. We don't even let him take set pieces so surely it is the way we use him that is a big issue?

Carra to Neville: "If you're a full-back, you're either a failed winger or a failed centre-back. No-one grows up wanting to be Gary Neville"
