I am surprised that you lot can be so disparaging about kevin Nolan. I certainly do not want to see him leave Newcastle. He has ben superb for us over the last 2 years. He is EXACTLY the kind of player that you were crying out for last season when things started to go wrong, yet you lot say that you wouldn't want him.
Nolan scores 30+ goals in 2 seasons, Henderson has 4 since 2008 in the same position. Aye, Nolan is ****!
If the shoe was on the other foot n all that. Ok then, Newcastle v Sunderland is 'just another game'.
Strange with Nolan. While I respect that fact that he murdered us at your place I don't rate him at all. Still he'll probably put several in our net next season to make me look stupid.
Several of you said you'd hate to see the chicken dance but if he was playing for us and scored I bet you'd soon change your tune. Anyway you wouldn't see the dance because you'd be too busy celebrating the goal.
Badger, Nolan's goal record I agree is good for a midfielder, but most of his goals come from him standing in front of the GK, leaning into and fouling him then waiting for a knock down so he can have a simple tap in, Yeah I know they all count. Personally I cant stand the bloke, he looks like a **** and when he dances like he's having a ****e I'd like to jump through the TV and rip his ****ing head off!!!
I would like you to look at all 12 of his goals last year and tell me how many were fouls. Villa H - Misses first chance, taps in rebound, no one around. Second goal, Another tap in, no one relatively near. Stoke H - Penalty West Ham A - Good finish after a Carroll knock down, no one around. You lot - Left unmarked for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Liverpool H - unmarked again West Ham H - Curling shot from edge of area You lot - Back heel, no marker Bolton H - Free header Wolves H - ran clear of defence, one on one, under keepers legs. Would you look at that, no fouls.
But don't you agree that his battling leadership qualities would be of benefit to your team? As for his "tap ins"......................it wasn't very long ago when you lot couldn't buy a goal. You may not like the bloke but there is no getting away from the fact that someone like Nolan is exactly what your team needs.
Yeah I agree Simon when we needed to battle we had nobody to step up willing to do that, Nolan does that for you which would benefit us. We could do with a player in that type of mould, but no way I would ever want see Nolan play for SAFC. Badger, Just watch Nolan he does it everytime.....In fact he did it all the games I watched you play last season also he did the same in the derby game at your place fouls Mig and Mensah all the time, If you want, go and watch the game again, you've probably got it on dvd or something....
