Toon Fans Want Shearer To Stay On
Well the vast majority of Newcastle-Online.com
readers who voted in a poll we have been running for the past
week or so do anyway.
Should Shearer stay on for another season Poll results:
Aye - 112 people voted yes he should.
No - 44 people voted no he should not.
Only if he doesn't break Wor Jackie's record this season
- 63 people voted.
Will the No.9 do as he has maintained all along, retire, or
will he carry on as many hope he does? Fingers crossed that
he does retire - with Wor Jackie's record in the bag and a trophy
under his arm.
Chopra Does The Business Again
On-loan Toon striker Michael Chopra
grabbed his 15th goal for Barnsley yesterday as the Yorkshire
side beat high flying Luton Town 3-1 at Kenilworth Road to move
up into 12th in the Table.
And while Shola Ameobi has just the 1 League goal to his name
all season and doubts over Alan Shearer, Patrick Kluivert and
Craig Bellamy's future remain, with every goal Chopra scores
his army of fans grow.
Despite unimpressing at United it has to be said that 1 start
in just the 10 appearances is hardly conclusive evidence that
the England Under-21 man won't make it at Premiership level.
Since being farmed out to Oakwell Chopra's game has improved
significantly. After enduring a barren spell in front of goal
and racist abuse from a mindless minority of Barnsley fans as
well as struggling to get to grips with life in Division Two,
he now can't stop scoring.
Does he deserve a recall come the Summer? Would you like to
see him back at Newcastle?
Update: Chopra made it 16 goals to his name on Bank Holiday
Monday (the 28th), notching against Wallsall in a 3-2 win. As
he did against Luton, he also missed a penalty.
