TRon Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It's kind of interesting though about Nolan, because if Gerrard had played as "bad" as Nolan has throughout the season and got 12 goals, he would have been portrait-ed as a fucking hero in the media. Nobody seem to to take notice of Nolan though, which in many ways can be a good thing for us. 12 goals from midfield is fucking magical ffs, what we are missing is that we also should have had a striker with 15+ goals as well. We seem to divide the goals amongst the team though, we really can't complain about the players going forward imo, we score a lot of goals and i`m really pleased with this years Newcastle United. I don't think anybody's that thick they haven't noticed Nolan's goals, in most cases a midfielder scoring 12 goals would have been put forward as an England candidate. But there's a reason everyone in the media has a wankfest over Gerrard and don't really consider Nolan seriously. While a lot of Newcastle fans don't like it, I agree with them. Which isn't to say Nolan hasn't done well, we just can't expect teams with higher aspirations to think he's the bees knees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Cool as fuck finish for his goal like. I think this is the first time ever you've said something positive about Nolan, particulary after he's had a good game/or scored. I've always give out praise to players whenever I've felt they've deserved it. I've even started threads in the past praising Steven Taylor, even though I can't him.

I'm talking about Nolan in particular, tbh. I never notice you posting something about him when he scores or plays well. But when he has one or two crap games, you don't have a problem posting about him. Sorry, that's the way I've been seeing it all this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 12 goals for a midfielder thats not taking penalties. That is bloody impressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The mackems laugh at him and call him so many names, yet he's the sort of personality and midfielder that their team is literally crying out for. And he's put 4 past them this season and all that Nolan has scored more against SAFC this season than Jordan Henderson has scored for SAFC in his career. He's scored more than their entire midfield all season. More league goals than Defoe, Crouch & Pavyluchenko put together. Ha ha. Top scorer for us this season will do for me though. Best might have come close to Carroll's total too had he stayed fit. Shola needs four more if its all comps, but games are running out and he doesn't get them quick in the league.

Ocho Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Scored more than Charlie Adam - who scores the majority of his from dead balls - and he's on the shortlist for PFA Player of the Year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Nolan & Barton together have as many goals this season, as what the entire current Sunderland squad who are actually contracted to them and not on loan have between the lot of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just noticed he's the 4th top goal scorer in the league this season, 1 Behind Darren Bent!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I can't believe people still want him out of the team. Next season we should still be built around Nolan, Tiote and Barton as we are now. Anything else is unrealistic or a helpless stab in the dark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UV Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 You realise though Dave, assuming Ben Arfa is fit or if we have some new Carlos Kickaball midfielder, at the start of next season we'll be right back to page 1 of this thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see you're a big admirer of Ashley's signing policy. Nolan has surely proven one of Kinnear's most astute buys for this highly ambitious regime.

EthiGeordie Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Kevin Nolan in talks over new contract at NUFC Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/04/07/kevin-nolan-in-talks-over-new-contract-at-nufc-72703-28477295/#ixzz1IqBCct47 Deserved in my opinion he will give us two more season of his current run and it is good to reward some one who done real good in the last two seasons. Barton also hinted today it is key Nolan to be given a new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'd sign him up for 4 or 5 years and offer a yearly review of his playing role at the club. Would be great to keep around even if he wasn't playing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I can see him being here for many years to come. He already seems to have massive respect from the players and seems an intelligent lad so I can easily see him becoming a coach here when he retires.
