My reaction when he scored against Italy was something along the lines of laughing whilst saying "fuck off man, Shola"

 

I reckon it would be something along those lines. He's the great pretender like. Sometimes you just have to laugh with the career he's had, but it's mostly just utterly annoying to the extent that you're raging at someone that is quite clearly a lovely man.

I say that when he scores for us.

Loved the way he pointed Gouffran to go to the front post while he attacked the back and resulted in the second goal.

 

Do you think he learned that from Shearer or Kluivert?

 

Neither, he taught them.

How perverse that Alan Pardew's counter-intuitive decision to drop Hatem Ben Arfa, his most talented player, has led to Newcastle winning their past three matches and rising to eighth place, two points off Manchester City in fourth. That's football for you – in total defiance of logic again. Yet just as significant as Ben Arfa's absence has been the inclusion of Shola Ameobi in all three of those matches, the striker's strength and deceptive intelligence giving Loïc Remy the time and space to score goal after goal after goal. Papiss Cissé might be a better finisher than Ameobi, who has not scored in the league since March 2012, but his all-round game is inferior and Newcastle often look like they are playing with 10 men with him in the side. With Ameobi in the team, Newcastle have greater balance. Watch out, West Brom. Shola is back.

I'd argue Shola is a better finisher than Cisse tbf. How many sitters do you see Shola miss?

How many times does Shola fall on his arse and lose the ball in positions that many strikers may have made useful?

 

I think some of the talk surrounding Cisse, Shola, and Ben Arfa and the last three results has confused correlation with causation.
