14. The Daily Struggle To Understand "Mike Williamson Hoofball"
On the pitch at Newcastle, Cabaye delivered some exquisite passes and attacks of sheer brilliance when linking up with the likes of Hatem Ben Arfa and Loic Remy. However, Cabaye also had to endure "Mike Williamson Hoofball" during his two-and-a-half years at the Magpies - a style of football it's fair to say the Frenchman never really got his head around. You could see the confusion on Cabaye's face every single time he would gently caress the ball back to centre-back Williamson who, despite having several options and plenty of time on the ball, would merely smash it aimlessly up field. Excruciating.
