Hull midfielder Ben Arfa expects Pardew to keep Newcastle job

Hull City midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa insists he doesn't want Alan Pardew to lose his job at Newcastle United.

Ben Arfa is on-loan at Hull from Newcastle.

"I do not blame him (Pardew), I do not want him fired, the important thing is to develop myself," said Ben Arfa, speaking to French television.

"It was the last five minutes of the transfer window when I arrived (at Hull), the coach (Steve Bruce) has built something interesting and I think we can expect to be in the top 10."
