Hatem Ben Arfa's winner for Newcastle today was a corker

The France midfielder unleashed a rising drive to secure all three points for Toon.

HATEN BEN ARFA pulled out a finish from the top drawer at St James’ Park today to deliver Newcastle United’s first league win of the season.

Having struck the woodwork moments beforehand, the French midfielder took possession of the ball outside the Fulham box, streaked away from two defenders and unleashed a rising drive past David Stockdale. The Geordies in the crowd certainly enjoyed it:

    Outrageously misleading headline. Hodgson didn’t say what it suggests he said at all.

    Suarez was brilliant in the last World Cup and in the Copa America. He should be alright in this one too.

    headline misleasding, uruguay have a good squad though I disagree with woy there..cavani, gaston ramirez, godin and gimenez the two athletico defenders and christian rodriguez who have just won la liga and are in the champions league final and diego forlan is still a great finisher even with his age, they have quality in attack and defence.. personally i think england wont have the quality to beat them

    You’re dead right Paddy. You didn’t even mention Walter Gargano or Edigo Arevalo Ríos in midfield or Maxi Peirera, Martín Cáceres or Alvaro Peirera on the flanks. Uruguay will be very difficult to beat and will play in a style very similar to Atletico. At 25/1 to win the World Cup they’re a decent outside bet.

    Only RVP scored as many goals as Suarez in World Cup qualifiers, and there are no easy matches in South American qualifying.

    I’m guessing he ingested something psychedelic earlier in the day and followed up that observation with “….

    Roy didnt preform well with any club wheather managing england or liverpool. So speaching against the talent of a player that could do serious damage to him and england is very wrong!

    If anything id say Suarez will have England in his sights.
    Roy on the other hand is a poor manager with a limited squad, especially up front.

    Roy needs a copy of mind games for dummies. He should know Suarez is world class and that he won’t be affected by anything the england manager says. Might work with Ballotelli however

    I’d say Roy might struggle more than him at at the world cup
