Shearer + Oba. Hopefully it will do wonders for our new number 9!!

At the very least this should put to bed all the "Shearer doesn't really love the club, he'll only come in when we're comfortable mid table and offering a fifty gazillion pound transfer budget" shit.

 

My respect for the man just doubled. If that was even possible.

Indeed. Puts things and past events in perspective...

Surely even Sky wouldn't lower themselves to reporting this for hours purely for a prank?

Indeed. If it's a joke I'm pretty sure they'll be part of the ones being had.

Very interesting stuff!

Shearer announced he signed that 1 year extension on April 1st back in 2005

Indeed... annoying that they've not got blue shorts.

there's simple and then there's taking the piss. That could be any plain white kit. Oh but look at the shorts there's an England badge in white too of course!!

apparently aye

 

"special dispensation from FIFA to allow them not to have numbers on the shorts or front of kits" Laughing

 

I like how you manually wrote that out.

wtf? I didnt

Edit: Oh i see... I copy pasted that whole sentence so the smiley didn't travel.

Really don't know about the kit still. Think it's a very good idea not that well executed. I know it's the point but it looks too much like a stupid polo shirt.

apparently aye

The front looks too empty without them.

Also, it's all white now is it? No more dark blue shorts?

Wish they had numbers on the front too. WOuld be classer.

... for once I'm just sitting there looking forward to watching the England game... just twigged, it's on Shitanta isn't it?!

Enjoy watching England again since the start of this qualification campaign.

Probably a consequence of many factors like England actually winning games and scoring some goals and Newcastle being what it is

Never really gave him much credit back then. I guess he was just there and did his job most of the time.

I can remember watching that goal he scored past Rovers and Tim Flowers on a loop though!

Such a weird career. Remember when he got that first goal for us against Blackburn I think. He was supposed to be this youngster for the future. 3 years later his career was pretty much over.

What a seriously moronic twat.

How's Henry done at Barca, generally speaking?

 

Done rather good, generally speaking,

Aye, on average good. One poor season, and one brilliant season so far.

He could be class for this club.

Especially if we go down. The uncertainty factor is very big obviously but he could be an ideal manager to mount the comeback.

Huntelaar with two

Gerrard having the season of his life?

Certainly turning on the style when it's starting to matter. Some money time player he is!

Indeed BS sending the keeper off.

... most tedious end to a match ever this between Wigan and Hull

Wow... just got in at the start of our game hadn't followed the football all afternoon.

... wtf kind of set of results are those!!!!

Wow... there's no way we won't regret those 2 huge missed chances come the end

This sort of "great" Benitez news always sends me back to the summer of 2004 when Liverpool finished above us but changed their manager and we waited it out so we could get Souness in...
