haven't you ever heard the saying: being a minority of one doesn't mean I'm necessarily wrong?  Was my clumsy attempt at referring to it.

 

I do think the past 13 years (a footballer's lifetime) suggests that you are in the wrong on this one.  FFS, a half century of goals in nearly 300 appearances.

 

Nar, that's new to me like...but fair enough.

 

I've not said at any point he is our best striker fwiw, I have merely stated that he has as much right to stake his claim as our centre forward at present as Cisse.

So just 29 more appearances before Shola overtakes Jackie Milburn to enter the top 10 NUFC appearance makers ever.

 

Another 2 seasons averaging his current amount for the last 3 years (30ish games) should see him just about in the top 5.

 

2 more seasons you say ? fuck that.

If he must play at all, I've really got no problem with Shola playing against the minnows. He should never see the field in league play, but he seems to play okay against weak* opposition.

 

 

*League One or below.

No one is saying he's suddenly great, or deserves a start on Saturday. But, if he hadn't come on, I doubt we would have won. He made a big difference, and scored, so he deserves credit.

Always the way with Shola. He's an asset in those sort of games. Wouldn't dream of laying into him after that.

 

Would like to know what words were exchanged between him and that pale, bald cunt towards the end. Shola was laughing his tits off then suddenly was irate.

They were both cuddles and smiles at the final whistle, so was nothing serious.

I'm beyond being able to give him any credit whatsoever. Any striker that's a back up, or in this case a starter for a premier league team, should be scoring against lower league opposition. I have every problem with Shola, at every level playing for us. There's absolutely no excuse for him being a Newcastle player anymore, let alone one that's starting, or even back up.

That his fault, like? Why does any of that make you unable to give him credit?

Yeah it does. I'm not going to give a Premier League starting, or even back-up striker credit for doing his job against Morecambe, funnily enough.
