Jack Flash Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Wouldn't be right if he didn't end his career here now. Happy for him to be the unit we bring on in the last 20 minutes of a game to keep the ball up top and scare the s*** out of the defenders. Definite cult hero. He's soooo much more likeable/effective when he's hardly on the pitch. If he somehow went back to starting games the charity would soon run out again.

Yep, looks much better coming on when everyone else is at the same pace as him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JS Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I caught the egg first time like, hope Shola managed it as well. When I did that I proper flung it, it smashed off the ceiling and I got jeers of 'Dont quit your day job' along with a few laughs and a 'looks could kill' stare off the staff with brooms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Poor bloke, every time his thread gets bumped it's not because of how brilliant he's been or some insightful interview, it's always a funny photo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Aside from the fact that Shola is a pretty shite footballer, he's the fucking man, you can't not like him anymore I actually really like Shola in last reasons role of 20/30 minute beast who despite being the slowest moving footballer ever seen his 4 minute stepover still beats his man every time. Plus if we win a penalty while he is on the pitch we may as well just let the opposition kick off without the shame of letting their keeper inevitably fail to keep the Shola off the scoresheet. You can tell he is the Godfather around Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I don't think we have a player that i love more than Shola and i mean that. I love them all but it's something about Shola that i just adore. Doesn't have the mileage to start games anymore, but he was fantastic last season coming off the bench and changing the game or helping hold on to a lead. Also i think he's footballing skills while not of the level of some people in the squad are a bit underrated IMO as long as he's kept to 20-30 minute spells.

I get genuinely irate when people have a go at him nowadays. He's basically reinvented himself as a target man and a good one at that, although his hand has been forced by his troublesome hip.

Cajun Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 He always looks a LOT bigger than anyone else on the pitch these days. I remember years back when Sol Campbell was playing for Arsenal and him saying Shola was one of the toughest forwards to defend against in the league. He has bulked up even more than that now. Despite not being the most gifted player, what he has along with his size I bet defenders really don't like seeing him come on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i was at that game, we lost 0-1 at home and Shola was brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 So happy for the lad that he seems to have become a kind of cult figure if you like as some of the abuse he has had from our so-called supporters over the years at times was pretty disgraceful.

You can tell he is the Godfather around Newcastle. Yeah I agree with this too. He was pretty useful coming off the bench last season especially when we were killing the game off. He is a fairly talented player, he's just not had a career that's reflected that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it will happen again next season when he starts a couple of games and has one of his shite games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Let's hope not. I said some pretty rough things about him before one of the games in the Championship. He answered with a hat-trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 he's had some real highlights in his career mind - great goals in derby matches, that goal in the nou camp, the one against chelsea, leverkusen, taking the piss out of dennis wise, just off the top of my head. would kill for memories like that playing for you home team.
