cubaricho Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 All joking aside though, Shola has to be one of the most likeable dudes at the club. Like HTT says, he literally is this club - through and through. He does personify the club; sometimes he's shit, sometimes he's incredible, but ultimately he's here and he's Newcastle, there is no getting around him because he is ever present as is the club in Newcastle. We're never getting rid of him and I don't think that we should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The problem is still that he is the third striker. He should at the most be a forth choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Maybe we are TOO intrinsically linked to shola and in order to full fill our potential we must sever all ties. <<<<<<<<<<what am I saying. Forgive me Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I must be in the minority on here but in the majority in the real world as I and everyone else I know or talk to hates him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I must be in the minority on here but in the majority in the real world as I and everyone else I know or talk to hates him Out of interest, why? He has never picked himself, played through numerous injuries when needed, scored some big goals (including against the mackems) and has never been one of those wanker footballers that drags the club through shit. Don't understand why anyone would hate him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 He was my least favourite player for many years. He was even more frustrating than Obertan will ever be. The majority of this thread has more anger in it than most others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I think starting to be used in his current role has turned around many peoples opinions of him. If he began starting games I doubt it would be long before people were on his back again. I'm pleased for him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I must be in the minority on here but in the majority in the real world as I and everyone else I know or talk to hates him I would be quite happy to never see him play football again, I couldn't hate him as he's been a perfect pro throughout his time here and when he retires I'll wish him well.

Kanj Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I must be in the minority on here but in the majority in the real world as I and everyone else I know or talk to hates him Out of interest, why? He has never picked himself, played through numerous injuries when needed, scored some big goals (including against the mackems) and has never been one of those w***** footballers that drags the club through s***. Don't understand why anyone would hate him Agree with Cajun. He's a top pro, Geordie, role-model to his younger brother Sammy, scored some very important goals for us, and hits 1 f***ing mint penalty. He' given 100% to this club, even if he may have been limited with injuries, or had a woeful run-out in the team. Hating the guy? Have a word with yourself - hopefully you realize you are just using an overly harsh word....I'd always thought most would have the same opinion as Mick if they had issues with his ability.

Jack Flash Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Nobody actually hates him, but to say he wasn't one of the most infuriating players we've had in recent memory is just rewriting history. From my experience, the people who like/d him the most are the people who didn't go to the games he started in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Nobody actually hates him, but to say he wasn't one of the most infuriating players we've had in recent memory is just rewriting history. From my experience, the people who like/d him the most are the people who didn't go to the games he started in. Agree with this. In light of his newfound cult status there's been load of games from various seasons swept under the carpet in which we were relying on Shola to put in a performance, only for him to spend the majority of the game on his backside with that daft grin on his face. "Oh look, we're losing and I'm offside/I've conceded a free kick for the 11th time, having not scored in 15 games, how funny." I don't hate, but I'm not happy he's still getting games for my club either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 His current role is about right, though. He's good for 20-30 minutes, bullying defenders and seeing the game out. I'm more than happy to see him fulfil that function. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I understand that Ron- and see your point and can see why people would feel that. Dude, your opinion's every bit as good as anyone elses. Shola's a great guy but he's just not my type of player at all, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
