He seems to keep his best for the pressure situations.

 

Think the same sometimes.

 

When things are going (too) well, he seems to miss some chances here and there is just strolling around the pitch.

 

Games like yesterday, the derby or the Spurs game last season, when we desperately need a goal, he seems to really be up for it.

He scored and won us the game, now just as many managers have before this pillock, is going to start him against Man Utd and we then have to watch the big oaf stumble around, foul people and look so shit its untrue.

 

I just can't believe how many managers still do it.

Shola Ameobi 'not going' to Africa Cup of Nations

 

Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi will not be going to the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria, according to his manager Alan Pardew.

 

The former England under-21 international had been named by coach Stephen Keshi in his provisional squad.

 

But Pardew has ruled out the 31-year-old's appearance at the tournament, which kicks off on 19 January.

 

He said: "Shola won't be going. The national team manager knows the reasons, which I am keeping to myself."

 

Ameobi was born in Zaria, northern Nigeria, before moving to England with his parents at the age of five.

 

Under Fifa rules, players who have represented one country at junior level can play for another at senior level if they meet the qualifying criteria.

 

Ameobi was first called-up by the Super Eagles 10 years ago but turned down the invitation on the grounds that his heart was set on playing for England.

 

He was cleared by Fifa to play for the country of his birth last month together with Chelsea winger Victor Moses.

 

He made his debut in a 3-1 friendly win over Venezuela last month, setting up the third goal in Miami, Florida.

 

Nigeria will take on African champions Zambia, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso in Group C.
