Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Is Shearer's seat on the Match of the Day sofa still waiting for him? They could just throw Garth Crooks on; he fills up two seats by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N17 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Why the fuck doesn't he just come out and say, 'Fuck it, I'm off back to the BBC' ? He's been fucked about something rotten, and surely most of us would have lost patience by now and walked away from this shambles that is NUFC, especially if we had a job on easy street with a good salary lined up for the next ten years. It may be the club he loves etc etc, but he must have had enough by now? Unless...UNLESS....he does know something and is expecting a sale soon? The thing is, he's remaining remarkably quiet at present. It's not what he is saying, it's what he isn't saying!! Maybe because he really wants to be manager and is waiting for new owners?

Phil 6 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Rob Lee was on talksport before and mentioned we have/had 11 players on £50k+ per week. One can only assume he heard this direct from the horses mouth and finally confirms the rumours. assumptions start rumours not confirm them.

charvski 0 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 anyone else not think shearer keeping quiet over his situation is a good thing and strengthens his position? If he was making noises of how he desperately wants to manage us, then his position right now wouldn't be so strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shackbleep 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Happy birthday - 40 today! Kinda depressing when you can remember him scoring that hat-trick on his debut against Arsenal as a 17 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM4 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I remember when he scored his first goal as a 30 year old. Luckily was the first of many. Look forward to his first as a quadragenarian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Mackems 133 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Anyone ever wondered how the Club would have done if he had never darkened our door. Some brilliant stuff was being played with Ferdinand up top. It wasn't too shabby either the one season they played together - 50+ goals between them iirc. Certainly Shearers last 3 seasons where 3 seasons too many. Almost an embarrassment that last - let him get the record - season. Almost held the Club back for the last 2 if not 3 seasons. Was in effect finished when his partner (Bellamy) was usurped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiespaws 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I can't agree with that last bit. Admittedly he was looking tired in his last season, but to say he held us back for 2-3 is bollocks imo. I'd argue that one of our problems was that we relied upon him too much over the years to pull us out of the shit and have never properly replaced him since he retired. To a degree I'd say he papered over the cracks because no matter how poor we were in a game, you always thought Shearer would bag one, or force a situation for someone else. He had his bad games and some would question his motives and his attitude towards other players etc but to write off 3 seasons is a bit much.

Turned down a move here to go to Blackburn too btw. he was still shit hot before he joined us though. was averaging over 30 goals a season at blackburn and got about 30 in his first season with us before he got injured. he only played in one really great newcastle side mind, and it was for only one season. the only side that came close to that one was when sbr was in charge and i'd say that was a good side, rather than a great one.

EDIT - you said he peaked two seasons before he arrived. i'm not sure that's right. he was considered one of the best strikers in the world after euro 96 and had one season for us at his highest level i'd say Edited August 13, 2010 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavey Davey 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'd say the last two seasons at Blackburn/ first season with NUFC were his peak. He hit top form at Euro 96 and that got him noticed almost worldwide and WE snapped him up. Ahhhh great days. I remember the morning he signed. Nearly choked on me Honey nut cornflakes, I did.

Almost held the Club back for the last 2 if not 3 seasons. Was in effect finished when his partner (Bellamy) was usurped. Last 2 seasons. Certainly not 3. Used to think there was maybe some truth to that, but seeing some of the strikers we've had since we were probably better off with a 35 year old Shearer.

Aye if we'd had him in 94/95 I think we'd have been unstoppable both that season and certainly 95/96. We'd never have signed Ferdinand in '95 though if we did have him (nor would we have ever had Andy Cole). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavey Davey 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 also, a 30-plus year old Shearer was still more than a match for most premier defenders who didn't know how to handle a PROPER english striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
