I'd be very disappointed if he were to leave now. He's a cult hero, he's part of the furniture and as infuriating as he can be at times I've actually grown to like his unsightly gait and innate ability to leave his man flat footed with a lovely piece of skill before shinning the ball out of play. There's a generation of kids who have grown up knowing only one thing in life - that win, lose or draw Shola is sure to do something with is going to incur the spittle flecked fury of 52,000 Geordies.
Fuck it, I'm in love Shola.
